The Dive Watch Connection

HI

Yes. I have spoken to the guy!
My head has been turned by a Green Marine Master 300.
This hobby is infuriating.
Watch this space!

Still searching...Might even look at a CD1....anyone? anyone? Bueller?

I recently picked up the WIllard in black.
Lovely watch. But that X/PX logo does my head in.
Same as on the bargain turtle I picked up.
Oddly, I think it works well on the MAS 62.

Use your imagination Derek.

Well it turned up today. Its quite fab. Wears MUCH smaller than I anticipated. With the re-engineered strap it kind of 'floats' on the wrist. Its quite something. The strap is an amazing colour as well. The rubber it comes with seems high end as well. The black coating is superb and the finish on th...

Looks awesome on that strap.
The Green is lovely. Amd what I was looking at.
I am hoping I don't regret the £300 I saved on getting the black.

Was it the Helly Hanson edition? I’ve been looking at those lately. I’ve also been wanting the slim Willard night vision s...

Finally pulled the trigger on a Willard. Been lurking around them for months (re-issues). I was looking at the Green in my local shop but it was for sale at over £1000 which I cant do for a Seiko. As much as I love them. I was also concerned about the size as my Sumo was a beast on mine. These hopef...

A mechanical GMT for under $500?

It was £549 GBP.
I am sure they can be picked up cheaper online - plus he is an independent Jeweller.
I thought that was steep.

No ideas about the watch, but for the baby turtles, tie a string to their leg so you can retrieve them when ready.

I see what you did there!
Why are you using that picture I took of your nan as an avatar?

I saw a few of these in my local independent jewellers.
they look great. But man are they expensive.

Hi All Just traded a few old watches that I don't really wear for a mint PADI baby turtle with the pepsi insert and blue rubber strap for an absolute STEAL. Almost a straight swap give or take. I like the classic black sub look so am thinking of swapping the blue rubber strap for a nice original bra...

Hi
Yes.
I was so sad to let it go. But needs must at the time. We had bills to pay. It was such a beautiful watch and was in such fabulous condition. TBH it was the nicest I have ever had. I loved it.
I have had a sniff of one. But it comes down to money. Hope that you are well.

Hi all. Looking for a bit of advice if I may. Have an original Sumo which I swapped the original bezel insert for a ceramic lumed one. It was fine (and expensice) until the lume started to fall out after about 12 months. Emailed the company and they said there is no warranty. Looked really shabby an...

I've gone full circle.
I sold my CD 2 a few years ago as we needed the money.
Looking to find one again now that things are a little better and if at the right price.
Anyone know where there might be one going? I've missed this watch since it left me.

Well...after nearly a year and having it on a rubber strap I managed to live with it. I couldn't get rid - it was something I always wanted. One arm is slightly longer than the other these days. However. Its time for a bit of tarting up so I purchased a new crystal (crystaltimes) and bezel insert (L...

Really helpful chaps. Thank you. I think have two options - put on weight quickly (not the worst thing in the world as I love curry and beer) or have a look at some alternatives. Gonna check out some turtles. Its such a shame. The design is perfect - but I really didn't think it would be this big on...

So I finally bought myself a Blumo SPDC 003.... Have wanted one forever. Started on the Sports 150 in 1996 then had baby tunas, Sportura and Kinetic Dives. All great watches. The sports 150 I still wear today from time to time The Blumo arrived this morning and I fell in love. Its beautiful. However...

Hi All

If anyone knows of someone seeking to purchase a CD 2 with Crystal back I am thinking of moving mine on to a good home (reluctantly I must add but needs must). Based in the UK. Cheers. Stu

If ever one come up for sale.....just saying...

Sorry to be the thickie here - but how to I upload images? it keeps saying the file is too big.

LOL!
Regrettably, I am from Essex. Polite isnt something my crowd are all that familiar with!
Nice to be here though.
Best
Stu

I am new here. and have just managed to get a CD2. For what its worth, I think its stunning. Sometimes less is more. But I also recognise the need to evolve.
