7 June - As you know the Maratac nato G10 has been selling at a low price since its inception but recently the price of fuel, transport and the shellacing the dollar has taken made the supplier increase the price more than we would have liked - perhaps what it is worth so now it will sell against the fakes and poor quality wannabes for a fair market price sorry we could not keep this going forever

5 Nov - we now have the new 120-2824-2 O & W in stock and it is a winner in time for the holidays as a gift for you or someone else affordable and smart looking not cheap for the price Als if you never knew where to keep your new Ipod Nano we have a place for you - on your wrist see it under the menu for Zulu bands - thanks
1 Oct- Well our friends from ESQUIRE magazine have once again chosen to use this site to show something in their fashion section in the November issue - I sent some photos but it seems they had their eyes and minds set on the Maratac bands in place of steel for those seeking an alternative it is on their page 66 of this month's issue I had wanted to demonstrate some of the Zulu® line so maybe they will next year Thanks Esquire.................................
4 Aug- The A-120 has been successfully received for its excellent fit and finish and the very fair price for a genuine Swiss ETA movement runnung inside. Now as always Mr Wajs has bumped it up a bit by offering the same watch for people who do not want manual wind but auto with a 2824-2 engine instead and also a calendar at 3:00 - have a look I think it might be the ticket for some of you

Limited supply each has a unique serial no

4 - Nov The MP 2801 which of course has an eta 2801 movement and sapphire crystal and is an outstanding buy for a swiss watch - has been made in a limited edition of 100 pieces with a special dial to answer the many requests for a branded dial - this has always been sterile - this is worldwide not just my stock only 100 pieces - the price remains so reasonable one wonders if O & w has lost touch with the economy - it is their way of saying thank you
27 - Oct Stunning is the only word to desecribe the new NachtPilot or night pilot 42 mm in diam watch O & W has just come out with - sapphire of course and a unique carbon fiber dial to minimize glare! Crisp hour markings and good luminescence - this is one great watch worth every dollar.
14 - Oct The last release of 50 pieces of the Fleiger 7733 by O & W is out now and the Arabic dial many people have wanted and not the baton style first out is here and ready to ship see it on page 1 For customers who read this and have wanted a SAR please email me for special pricing for October only.

Aug -21 The 3rd Defender of an edition of 25 is sold - given the economy I do not expect people to buy watches that fast - this will be the last edition the making of the metal bezel alone is prohibitively expensive.
Aug - 2 - Yes the Maratac Nato bands in all colors and sizes are in stock NOW do not wait as last time when there was a massive sell out something we never have seen perhaps the quality and the price of only 12.00 per strap had something to do with it?
Apr-4 Tax season will slow down our response time till the 15th be patient with us - the most popular seller has been the 3077 and the orange version is a winner.
