    Shanghai Mil ReIssue

    A few weeks ago, one of our fellow members scored a number of the Shanghai Re Issues, and made them available to people who are not so lucky to live in Shanghai. After some thinking I decided that the chances of ever getting one of these will be very small if I do not order it now. So I did, and today it was delivered.

    I quickly made some pics, so I could show it here:














    Alf, alias Alfanator, Thanks a lot!

    Regards,

    Martin

    It has a screw down crown, but hasn't any markings indicating water resistance. Personally, I would not dare to swim with it....

    Great pics Martin!

    Flori. I swim with mine and have left it at the bottom of the pool for 45 mins, no problems. I also live within 30 mins of the factory if it fails, so take it with a grain of salt and do so at your own risk

    Wow, great pics Ron!

    I was also impressed by the light but solid feel of the bracelet. I usually take them off right away, but this one just might stay on

    Thanks Martin, but your pics were so good I almost didn't bother, too

    Then I thought....nah...(just like you say) more pics is always better!

    And, as for me, the bracelet is gonna stay--unlike many stock bracelets. this one's a keeper. I've worn it for a few hours and I just plain like it.
