2 new hoots.... 2 in the mail....

roo7 · Post by **roo7** » 24 Aug 2011 22:21

Really went crazy last and this week...

Excited about my BB, a new job.... and everything else in life seems so wonderful.

In a short span of 2 weeks, I hoot 4 watches, 2 arrived, 2 on the way from Ukraine (Russians).

First hoot, you all have seen, the Doxa 750T GMT Divingstar, I bought this as a present for a new set of challenges in work and in life with my BB Zoey

Second hoot, I thought after Doxa, no more, this Sandoz Typhoon 1000m monobloc dive watch came up in WUS, a piece that I have been hunting for a while since I discovered there's a dispute between Jenny and Sandoz on the first 1000M watch. Apparently, Sandoz was the first watch company to develop a monobloc watch case that could meet the water resistance of 1000m.

Of course this are just based on information I got from this site: http://www.rruegger.ch/sandoz_typhoon.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
http://www.rruegger.ch/first_1000m_dive_watch.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So, when it came up on my WUS browsing, "mai tu liao" !!! It's a rare find plus the condition is very mint and the price is reasonable for that condition.

Well, enough talk, here are the pictures, pardon the iPhone quality, as I don't have a proper setup at my in-laws.

The back of the monobloc case

What attracted me, apart from the monobloc case is the crystal ! Super dome !

I hope to take more photos with my camera soon and will update the thread again with my other 2 Russians.. they are also iconic diver watches in Russian horology

Added link for the article on the first 1000m watch.

Added photos

Finally got a chance to take some photos..

Sadly, the dial is most probably a re-dial

The hands look fishy too.

But I just love the super dome crystal

The reason why it's in my collection, a monobloc case

Now for the yellow fellow..

Doxa

Signed crowns

Solid beads of rice bracelet

Thanks thanks... the Russians are affordable hoots one la....... when I hoot Doxa, I didn't expect to hoot more liao, except the 2 Russians that I'm watching on ePrey.

Then Sandoz pop up, when you see grails that appear like that, mai hoot.. next time regret deep deep. Like got a chance to hoot a Tag Heuer Super Professional 1000M with box and papers.. sigh.

Doxa VS 6309.

Doxa is slightly bigger..

Exactly, the case condition is great, crystal has tiny scratches.. which is a good thing, means all not polished before.. except the dial.

I was very wary about it but decided to hoot as it's really a rare piece and it complements my collection..

ya as for the overall condition of this sandoz typhoon,it does look better than I imagine intially.. n its not easy to find an untouched dial for such old watch.. so a good hoot for you..
