The Dive Watch Connection

Jack worked on mine, too. It was in rough shape when I got it, but new lime, crystal, and a movement service brought it back from the dead.

Vintage, on a snowy day.

Haha, I like your subtle hint at underwear elastic

Come on. You know the dress code at ToxicNatos is underwear only, and optional in Friday.

That is pretty nice. Thanks, Tom.

I've always wondered how that combo would look. Based on that photo, I still can't decide if I like it.

First time I've ever had Presidents Day off.

Sweet!

I traded my last Squale at the AD when I got my Speedy, and have kinda regretted it since. All is good now.

I have to say at 42mm though this is a big damn watch. Exactly. I once had a Zeno with the Unitas handwind movement. I thought that since I could pull off a 42mm diver that it would be fine.

Hands are wrong. They need to be better differentiated.

Agreed. It is otherwise a pretty decent look.

My advice, if you are serious, is to avoid this forum. I did a big watch fast around this time last year, which amounted to clearing my browser/cache and deleting every watch-related app on my phone. I lasted, like four months, which is more or less a personal record. Good luck OP. I didn't buy for...

Baltic Shield specs, from the website, but height at 13.5. So this one is only 0.5mm shorter, it seems.

Is the case the same as the Baltic Shield?

No. Completely different case and size proportions.

I'm interested. Any more you can share regarding dimensions?
