2 new hoots.... 2 in the mail....
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 :D
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"http://www.rruegger.ch/first_1000m_dive_watch.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.rruegger.ch/first_1000m_dive_watch.htm"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. ;)

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 :lol:
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 :D
Now for the yellow fellow..
