The Dive Watch Connection

?

Picked up a Suzuki 4WD for getting to some of the more remote shore dives :-)

What dive table is it referencing on the bezel? Whatever it is its even more conservative than PADI recreational tables. Strange

I was curious how a watch like the Breitling Avenger Seawolf has a water resistance to an insane 10,000 feet? Does it not require a helium escape valve as well? All that WR and they put knobbly bits on top of the bezel so its as easy as possible for things to knock it off-setting. Seiko did the sam...

Community service notice: if you have issues and manage to kill an iphone Apple will tell you any data not backed up is lost. Its true they don't offer a data recovery service but there are people who do (iPad Rehab, etc). Apple currently won't acknowledge these services (or even admit they exist). ...

Did pretty well...though I think ToxicNATO's business is still pretty safe ;-)

Ideally watch lugs curve or angle down to be near as possible to level with the case back. Otherwise you have these issues and the thing perches precariously on the wrist and straps like NATO's just don't work.

Exciting. Now to stay away from any geek commentary which will likely zap all the fun out of using science and logic. Totally agree. I just want to walk into the cinema with my popcorn and no real info about what happens in the movie so I can be surprised and thrilled with a couple hours of fun and...

Nice looking re-edition, but my enthusiasm was dampened a little when I found out that it has a Miyota movement. I'd much rather own an original. Did you expect something else given that Citizen owns both Bulova and Miyota? Yes, I'm aware Citizen owns both Bulova and Miyotya. I had assumed that bot...

I have not owned one, but heard there some issues with them. I have heard of bezels popping off and lume triangles popping out on their own...

It can only be done to raise some sort of cache, which seems odd for a company with a rich history.

Sure but the company with the rich history and the company making these decisions have no real connection. They just bought the name.

Yeah, that's hot.

Did they remember to put lume on the bezel pip this time?

I thought it was just Android that updated endlessly.

Between all the phones, computers, and tablets I world love to go a week where nothing needed an update of any kind

GS is a worthy rival to Rolex. Probably better in objective quality if you ask me. But this “unregulated” and “unfinished” business in the non-GS line doesn’t make sense to me if you’re going to ask for equivalent money. Agreed. Though show me an unfinished GS movement? (the 8L in the MM300 was dec...

That dial font is tragic. Great looking watch otherwise.

Went hunting for Dragons this morning...

It’s nice, but I just don’t get internal bezels on “diving” watches. Internal bezels work well when diving. What don't you like? Unscrewing and turning a crown to set the bezel, then having to screw it back down. Im assuming this is done right before jumping in the water. I don’t dive (hardly ever)...

Not a fan of the orange minute hand, otherwise I really like it
