Well, Ian, I have to say I'm impressed.
Last 6 days sometimes on the wrist, sometimes not it is at +6 secs so +1 / day. I'd say that works for me. For a big watch it sits so well - even fits under a business shirt.
Got a little wabi too after going camping on the weekend - must have scuffed it opening a beer!;-) It is a tool watch, after all. Oh yeah, I took it at least 3-4 m deep too, no problems funnily enough (the bottom of the river prevented me going deeper).
Super watch mate.

Mine is about 5s/day slow. Pretty solid. I prefer a hair fast but this works.

After 2 days, mine is running 2 seconds fast; pretty damn good!! Anybody notice how good the lume is on this watch? Glows like a torch for a loooooong time.

Mine was about -10s per day when it arrived. A little tweaking and its now +5s, which is fine for me. The lume is indeed excellent - its on par with the Korsbek OE.

Mine's about -5 too. I have to say this is just about my favorite this past week. Great watch and one of the best of the Fricker cased offerings. The size is really perfect. I put mine on a KN bracelet and it just plain rocks.

One thing that is particularly well done on the Subzilla is the bezel. Its big, one piece (no insert) and has the big pip like the Kazimon Eintausend also has. This is an improvement over the previous Fricker bezels on this design that had smaller pips. Clicks are very positive too, with zero play.

Yup, mine is rock solid too. I like the crown a lot also. This is a total tool watch, no question about it.

Cheers mate,
I am glad you are enjoying your watch and i am happy to hear the Subzilla also does a good job at being a beer opener.:-d

Mine was about -15 to -20 sec/day on the first couple of days. It has since settled down after about a week of wear to -5 sec/day.

Set mine last night, approx. 19 hours ago, it has now gained/lost the grand total of ZERO seconds.
Amazing :-!

Mine settled in at about +1.5s/day with a lot of wrist time. Loving it.
