The Dive Watch Connection

Felt I had to open up today's proceedings as I have a new arrival...

Cosmonaute 809 circa 1965...

Cheers for the comments guys... most appreciated.

Just took arrival of this in the last week or so.. and am smitten. Quite a rare old bird apparently as there less of these produced than some other similar variants. Photos show the PVD to look very dinged.. but really, it's not so much noticeable in real time. Magnification doesn't help. On a lovel...

Lovely Worldtimer (hope I am right).

Lovely piece, lovely brand.


Great pick up mate.

Welcome.

I have been looking at Lum Tec myself only this last month.
A guy had a bronze one for sale on a UK forum here and the brand has piqued my interest.

Great to meet you.

I see no issue here.


However, I do not wish to be used as a yardstick for commonsense.

Many thanks.


Lovely collection

I do love these... the way the dial is divided up and grooved by the circle has a nice appeal.

It's not just another 'diver rehash.'

It's got individuality.

I particulary like the green with the ricebead elements on the bracelet.


Thanks for sharing Tom.

Classic watch... why don't they even make these any more? Must be a market still. I love that shape.

Great watch

Giving the old Pepsi Mako I an airing after the recent new colour Mako thread.

It's been a while.

Lovely pieces. I love my Pepsi mako. Indeed... these salmony / patel coloured dials are really becoming a thing. Normally I am not too enamoured with them but these suit the piece well. The price doesn't hurt that feeling too. I wouldn't wanna spend a fortune on something that feels a 'colour fad.' ...

https://i.imgur.com/qmPbOGWl.jpg Just got this back from having its stuck bezel released so it deserves an airing. :love: wowza - beautiful classic. so much nicer than their recent models. How do you like the hybrid bracelet? Thank you. Love the bracelet. Sometimes when advertised is states that th...

Just got this back from having its stuck bezel released so it deserves an airing.

Oh nice Greg, really nice, and I don’t know what is cooler about the watches, the styles, or the prices !! 8-) 8-) It’s my first time seeing them too sir. :) I think they look terrific, and can’t thank you enough for the report !!! No worries mate, you are welcome. Yeah I appreciate that they are a...

I am currently wearing my first ever Bulova too... and I must say I do like it.

I like this in the red on bracelet... and I love the round on hex look about it.

And at 40mm not too small and at £429 UK price not too expensive.

Nice piece.. thanks for the share.

Dunno if anyone ever seen these before... I haven't. Nice looking pieces at a STEAL of a price. https://rotatenorth.com/collections/all-watches?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwq4imBhBQEiwA9Nx1Bspdnu6KH3vyXEcgi3fSitsKp0n19TKt-RejnCDtiZ-rZ2U-GsURPRoCOzwQAvD_BwE The highest price click on the dropdown is £325.

I actually love that.

The cream indices / aspects does it for me.. along with the green and cloth strap.


Lovely piece.


Thanks as ever for sharing, Tom

Absolutely love this / these.

Beautiful watch.

I just put my speedie on a Uncle Seiko 1450 bracelet I sourced... happy as hell.





I think it makes the old lume pop nicely too.

Nice looking pieces indeed.


I do like a good Longines. I once had a legend diver. Somebody has one up for grabs on tz uk right now... in blue... and if I was buying the trigger would be absolutely pulled right now.


Thanks again for a good share Tom.

Just received this today from a fellow forum member on a UK forum... and he really looked after me with the deal. Ironic as it's an American piece and it is the 4th July. Happy Independence Day to all over you in America!!!! :salute: :salute: Bulova Accutron 2 Lobster..... https://i.imgur.com/fbjIav...

Man I have done well to abstain this week from pulling the trigger on more steel. There was a Sinn up on tz-uk for £650... it went in no time. There is a Manometro Mazzuoli Carbon on Selfridges website pre-loved for £1010. There is a brand new white dialled Manometro Mazzuoli on Jura here in the sal...
