Sourced a mint condition, hard-to-find vintage Aquanaut. Very happy with the watch. Vlad & Aly were a pleasure to deal with throughout the process, both during the initial emails/texts and then in their showroom. I mistakenly wired a larger amount than the purchase price and the difference was promptly refunded. I plan on doing business with them again.
