Ztech Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Did they give you any idea when they'd ship it or when you can expect to receive it? I want to see this thing so badly that I'm tempted to get on a plane and pick it up for you. Although that would probably defeat the whole "reasonably priced" thing, given that my plane ticket would be more than the watch. I'm dying to see how these look in person. One of my concerns is how it wears. My wrists are dainty and delicate (6.5"), so I can't really wear certain styles of big watches. I can wear a HBB just fine, but a 44mm Pam Luminor just looks like a clown watch on me. So I'm really interested in seeing some wrist shots and maybe a few comparison shots. Heck, I might just join you on a trip to this place too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 So the price is 15% off from $499 and a free watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 So the price is 15% off from $499 and a free watch? Yep, just use the code: GORKY15 when you check out and you'll get the 15% off. There's a selection of free stuff you can choose from when you purchase over $175 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztech Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I put the pic of the Vostok as my desktop. Now I can't stop thinking about this watch. The wait is going to kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eunomians Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 "... the world's biggest rocket" Interesting but looks like a Diesel/Nixon watch. And it is very hard to read. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanf Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 39mm. I love it too. Actually, it's 44mm according to the Vostok website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Actually, it's 44mm according to the Vostok website. It's not a Vostok it's a Poljot and it's 39mm. I think you didn't read the question I was answering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 WHERE IS IT???!!!! WHAT DOES THE TRACKING SAY??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 No tracking #'s yet. I haven't even got an e-mail saying that they processed my order. Man this wait is killing me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever get confirmation that you'll get a free crappy watch with your order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Ok but post tracking info as soon as you get it. Do they have anything like the Ruby Tracker? You know, that GPS thing Ruby has that lets you track the exact position of your watch at any given moment while in transit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, I got a confirm about the free watch and no I don't think they have a fancy tracking system. Would be nice though. Or maybe not. I might be temped to intercept it over the ocean or some crazy thing like that. ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Ok, just got an e-mail stating that the watch was shipped out via USPS today from CT. So I'd expect the watch to get here by late this week or maybe early next. Hopefully it'll get here before the weekend so I can do a mini review of the watch.

bTrizzy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Oops, I bought one.

bTrizzy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the club, baby. Which one did you get? I have been really digging the Rose Gold + Black combo. I was looking at the Big Bang rep in Rose Gold and Black Ceramic, but I would rather spend that kind of money on a gen. Hence the Vostok. Here's my other Rose Gold + Black/Brown watch (Hamilton X-Wind): Edited August 19, 2008 by bTrizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Where I come from, wearing a Russian watch like a Vostok was a indicator of lower-middle class social status. Today this view has carried over to the point where wearing one is a pretty big fashion faux-pas, because it reminds of days of socialism and financial despair.

bTrizzy Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Probably should've asked this before purchasing (damn impulse buys), but does anyone know if this comes with a sapphire crystal? Can't find that kind of info anywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
