Cool, I hope the weather is nice and you've got a soft top to enjoy the drive.
A 400km trip to get it, that's some expensive postage costs!

[SPEEDY]

I like the look of that , It looks really well built tbh...

Thats a long drive for a watch , Saying that i did 140 miles round trip
to fetch one on sunday so...

[gentlemenpreferhats]

:shock: looks like a chunky boy.
I would be interested to read how it wears when you get it.

[thereaper101]

I like it!!!

[WatchScout]

That thing is ugly as sin!

.....and I want one! :drunken:

Congrats. Good catch. Certainly worth the drive
.:salute:

Congratulations :!:

It´s ancestral family member had a super touger still hard rubber encasing:



They were all a very hard sell when new and can occasionally still be found cheap but more often are silly priced.

I have to drive 400 km to get it .

Calculating the round trip I assume :wink:

That looks very cool and the name suits it!

When you get it, charge it up under direct sunlight for a few days and see how it holds a charge. Given it's age, you may have to have the capacitor changed.


Here are some other promasters :

Wow!, some pieces there I never knew existed!

Looks good, can I ask how big your wrist is? The watch looked huge in the original photo, but does not look as bad on your wrist. But congratulations on your purchase.

[Henk Hoving]

Serious tough looking piece, what's the diameter and height of this one?

MMMmmmmmmmmm... Promaster love!

Personally, I'd much prefer a Robert Swan over an Autozilla. It's so much rarer. But, if you're not feeling it, then it's onwards and upwards!

To my eyes the dial looks tiny/too small in the casing.

Here's a quick iphone pic of both for you to compare:

The Robert Swan is much easier to wear everyday....

This makes it even harder :shock: :shock:

Very nice and a hard one to find. I'd certainly keep that instead of getting an Autozilla.

Different wrist, but just to note that despite measuring about 47mm across and 14mm deep, this watch fits even my smallish (6.5") wrist very well, probably because the underside is curved and the bracelet is freely hinged:

I agree , it wears very nice.

But i,m going to trade it For a Zilla. Whenever one comes along 8)
