All I know is that according to UPS - my 1963 from watchunique should be 1 day away ;) - with the display caseback :)
It does show up as "out of stock" right now on watchunique too

I emailed Thomas using the address found here. He quickly responded that he had the watch and verified the price to be $180. + $10. ship, a total of $190.00 usd. He specified the same address to be his paypal address whereupon I sent money.
The watch, a 37.43mm version of 1963 reissue is gorgeous and more than that it has been maintaining good time since it's arrival two weeks (approx.) after my payment.
It has the steel back marked "1963" with the same characters as are below center on the dial and a center star with crossbar. The watch arrived with springbars and a NATO style light green or OD colored band which seems to be a poly blend material similar to a nylon band.
VERY nice watch keeping excellent time too. I put an old 18mm brown leather on it and hoped it would mystify a watch-snob aquaintance, which it nicely did. :)
(note: the dimensions seem not to a usual standard. As noted, the diameter is above and the lug spacing is less than 18mm also, instead it's 17.60mm - but an 18mm band squeezes in just fine.
Great customer service from Thomas!
I ordered the display back model from him more than a month back but when I arrrived at his office on Tuesday, he only had the stainless steel back case model.
Yesterday, he personally hand delivered the display case back unit to my office!
I will definitely buy from him again.
I just received my watch today, and will post pics shortly.

Came in a plain white cardboard box, with a wooden box inside. Pillow, watch was wrapped in plastic, and the strap was in a plastic bag as well.
Red star, 19 zuan. hand with arrow on the seconds and the shorter,straight hand on the minute totalizer. pretty much the version i wanted
Seems to be running fine. I think I will keep the blue protective stickers on the chrono pushes, I really like it haha...and it kinda goes with the blue theme. Anything I should check on this watch to make sure it works properly?
