The Dive Watch Connection

That’s cool!

But it makes me feel old, since it is such a vintage piece……..and I got my first scuba card before it was published (1978).

Which is more rare - the feet first dial or the meters first dial on a 5513 200M Sub?

They’re all pink on the inside

Not joking around…

Sorry, I'm in the minority here. This doesn't seem to do anything new - big minutes, small hour hands; has a decomp on the bezel but no method to time it; 49mm; and obviously the price seems a bit aggressive...

Today with the EZM3 custom.

This watch is finer than the hair on the back of a frog!

Sunny but cold here -

The last true tool watch from IWC

16600 on Metta Caterina

Aside from being such a sturdy and utilitarian design, my experience with MG is that the movement s are tweaked beautifully to keep very very good time. Like 1-2 secs a day. Congrats on that score!

I saw this one for sale at a good price - too good really. Is there anything obviously wrong with it?

See above.

You can’t find it because it’s under Bond’s foot

They remind me of the Street Series Seiko made at around $450.

Looking around the site though, I see they are now making the iconic SAR in titanium which is tempting…

One of the best dive watches ever made Kudos!

A friend is selling this, let me borrow and try it out first. PAM025 on Metta Caterina leather

Another thing I don’t understand….. the Seiko movements aren’t very accurate and do seem cheap in a watch approaching a grand. I think a smarter move would be to use the thermo-compensated ETA quartz movement, as used in Marathon products. We’ve seen great seconds-hand alignment in Marathon, CWC, a...

I’ve been wearing Seiko dive watches since 1980, and have a soft spot for all of them. However, the SKX007 is most representative of the history in my opinion. It is the lineal descendant of the 62MAS, 6105, 6309, and the short lived 7002. Inexpensive, tough as nails, sized right, and - using an ove...

Let me preface this to say I abhor his business practices and I cringe deeply at the fan-boi obsequiousness of his military fantasies. However, I will admit that Bill Yao has come up with a decent watch this time, though sadly called the Blakjak. 42mm, 200M, Seiko 4R36, sapphire, choice of countup o...
