Nice job Max. Congrats on reaching such a milestone.

I had exactly the same thing happen with my Meranom order in March when the exchange rate was super low. Ordered a few bracelet upgrades for the Neptune and another Amphibia and the order got stuck in the UAE. Although the order never arrived, it was still worth a shot.

I completely agree that Zelos is a really great microbrand that makes many interesting watches. I've been waiting on the Teal Mako in the next restock run or next version. Strong lume, beautiful dial, hardened titanium, hi beat movement. So much to like. 

3 in a watch roll and one on the wrist. I try to bring a GADA, diver, high lume and dress watch but there's always variation.

My young kids often enjoy "tinkering" with my old watches and my basic watch kit changing straps, etc. A full watch kit like this would be a really good learning curve for all of us to experience.

Really cool watch to pick up on the cheap from auction. The hair pulling integrated bracelet would drive me crazy too.

I placed an order for a Vostok Amphibia in early March and a few upgrade bracelets but I still haven’t received anything (I’m in Australia). It’s no fault on the Vostok retailers that Putin is a crazed dictator, so order if you like the watches. Just be aware that orders can be massively delayed or go missing  with the current shipping restrictions.
