It left China on the 30th...ok.....got to JFK on the 2nd....ok.....but not good....now I have to wait until Jerry's rapped his shindig......Tuesday :x That plane from China must have stopped for some r and r along the way, I thought I'd get this already

I dont trust the estimation time of arrival until I see the "released from customs" notice, only then I know I will prob get it within a day or two.
I received the watch today and it is FANTASTIC! I can't imagine the gen being any better than this. The quality is fantastic and I could not have gotten it from a better dealer than Joshua. It was well packed with a plastice bezel guard included and in place. No damage at all and the watch is in pristine condition (as it should). I will post some pictures as soon as I can.

cool you got it, photo's asp please
Thats what I thought. To stand pressures down to 1000 meters, the watch would naturally have to have a pressure release valve to keep it from exploding.

Did you notice the misalignmnet of the 8 and 10 markers, doesn't bother me much but I wanted your reaction. Thanks :?

He valves
The He valve is not to stop the watch "exploding" due to the extreme depth of a dive (whether as a diver or inside a sub), exactly.
You likely know that as divers go to great depths, they need to use exotic gases to manage physiological effects such as nitrogen narcosis (even good ol' O2 can become toxic under pressure). Helium is used (helium saturation) in the air mix to mitigate these toxicity effects, and the small gaseous particles get inside the watch -as they can squeeze past the water/dust O-rings, being smaller.
Once depressurized (ie on ascending from deep dives) the He particles must escaoe - or their 'need' to escape/expand will cause a massive pressure build-up inside the watch case - so the He valve operates to release this pressure, and avoid problems like exploding the crystal.
