That is pretty much all there is. Harold does transactions over email/PayPal. Look over his photobucket and shoot him an email asking him for a quote of what you want.

 

Hi,

Thankyou for the information. Christmas is coming... and I'm pretty sure I've been good.

Cheers,
Nik

 

Perused the amazon selection. Just want to be sure the nylon is the thin flimsy shit.

Got this one.

His 'website' is actually only a photobucket account with a bunch of pics.
www.yobokies.com

That's what I came up with after a quick Google. Need an answer to this question though. I want the thicker ballistic nylon of the Zulu's but the two piece functionality of the NATO's. I have a NATO for another watch which is flimsy and I hate it. Anyone know if their NATO's have the thicker nylon?

He's actually out of Hong Kong.

 

For some reason I laughed at that.

 

I got a few from watchbandgirl on eBay. Go for the "premium NATO" which is basically a Zulu (brushed hardware, thicker nylon, longer). About $15.

 

It is a little off putting to tell you the truth. If the guy didn't seem to have a really good rep, I probably would have moved on to another seller. He needs a proper website for sure.

 

Dammit. I was too impatient to wait for an answer
I just bought 2 Maratac's for about $22 and change each including shipping and tax. Oh well.

 

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. He has great rep on all the seiko sites, but if you just saw that site it makes it seem like he's some random guy working on his kitchen table that took some pics of his projects.

He's really good about e-mails and answering Q's though.

 

I completely agree. The internet is a shady place. I feel your trepidation.

 

Hi,

For the amateur that I am, is the idea I purchase elsewhere a base watch and then send it to him to modify?

Cheers,
Nik
