The Dive Watch Connection

Just heard from our local AD that he has the SPB147 back in stock, if anyone is looking for this at a BoD discount.

Crown & Caliber is located here in Atlanta (Sandy Springs). I've been meaning to get down there for some time, but haven't made it yet. I asked them if I could stop to do my trade on the drive from Hartsfield. This was a couple years ago, but they pretty much said no, and that they didn’t have a re...

I've heard of a few people with negative experiences with C&C, but I've had pretty decent (maybe even good) experience with them. I was underwhelmed with C&C, but in their defense, I made only one attempt at a trade/purchase (and probably over-lawyered it.) I wasn’t super impressed with the apparen...

Just a guess, as I have no firsthand knowledge, but I’d assume the watches are sold at MSRP and cash is then kicked back to the AD. Probably combined with them buying some unloved watches to get them off the AD’s books. It alleged employees and/or strawmen were buyers at list using their credit car...

It looks like Matt’s version of the Sinn UX. Since he’s calling it diver 1X it makes sense too.

Ahh, oil filled.

The DIVER-1X has been in robust test and evaluation with operational groups for most of the past year, and we are excited to bring it to your wrist Summer ’21. Right now, I can tease that it maintains our familiar DIVER-1 case and a depth rating exceeding 7000-meters. Saw MG’s email late yesterday ...

Where’s the Tiffany on the dial?

It’s just Tiffany blue.
Very cool watch, Juan.

Looking to get a jubilee alternative/aftermarket for 5 digital GMT.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Not a jubilee, but I'm pretty sure the endlinks on a Ginault oyster-style bracelet fit a 16710.

I love the 214270 (v2.0) but a 41mm version would be a must have for me. In my perfect world I’d have the new Sub 41, Explorer 41, and the OP 41 in turquoise. OP41 is perfection for a larger wrist. I might have to get the Yellow one unless 41mm Explorer 1 comes out I want a yellow one, too. I don’t...

Hi guys. New to the forum, was wondering what sort of accuracy people are experiencing with their SPB 14X series? Thanks. Welcome, Steve. I saw much better accuracy in the 6r35 than the older generation movement (all of which 6r15s had issues for me). Assuming most of us who have that watch or a "W...

Awesome. Joe Kirk genuinely loves GS, and it shows.

I want to try the blue strap on that NAFT.
