The Dive Watch Connection

I really enjoyed the one I had, but two things got me to flip it. The finishing on the bezel, and the noisy movement. I think those both got addressed in this version. Could be a real winner. Just got my pair yesterday and unfortunately the movt noise has not been resolved. These are very noisy. No...

Nope

2006 Toyota Matrix. I got one that survived my son, and almost survived my daughter. It's only downfall was handling in the snow without snow tires.

Hybrid mod

MTF'er I haven't seen one of them in a while.

I love mine, and wear it frequently.

I might need to switch this one to a shiznit.

Awesome! I've got one myself, also on NATO. Great grab-n-go, and also my favorite travel watch because of the independent hour hand. I had no idea it had this function, or how to access it. :oops: I asked secretly, but will share the the answer. Pull the crown out to the first position, and you are...

Nice! I've long thought about looking for an Aqua Terra quartz with the teak dial.

Nice. I hope to see one of those crystals in person some day. How proud does it stand from the bezel?

Do these have a screw-down crown, or rotating bezel? I'm guessing not at this price, but pretty nice looking anyway. Couldn't find any info on that from the site Mike, but they are water resistant to 100 meters so guess they are. Or should be. :thumbsup: ..Cant be sure about the bezel rotating thou...

The trend with the 4:00 date window is going the wrong way. Please, make it stop!

I love quartz these days. Thanks Tom it is a good looking watch.

I hear you. Seems like some folks gotta hate on them. As long as the build quality is there, I'm good.

I don't have one, but have always wanted one.

Has anyone done a white dial Mil Spec watch? Acrylic or sapphire done and white aluminum insert.

This would be something different and unique, IMO.

Looks good otherwise, but hoping the lug hole position be closer towards the case.

^^^ Bamford has your white dial.

Yes, no date versions as well. The insert is aluminum. I like them both. A matte ceramic insert would make it perfect. While I certainly understand the allure of the ceramic insert, I want to keep the design specs more inline with the original style. Appreciate your input though! :thumbsup: I'm fai...

So, the moral of the story is to avoid deposits and preorders? What about Yao?

I’ll start ‘officially’ posting some stuff up in a few weeks. My intent is to make certain that everything is already well into t&e before I start communicating about the product specs and particulars. Everything is in place, just wanting to wring it out more before bringing it out. When I hand you...

You are building a lot of anticipation here. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.

How do you know for certain that a completed watch doesn't suffer water ingress during the test?

Why a name that sounds like a venereal disease?

Nice find Terry. Must. Resist.

^^^ Yup, that's it. If they were serious about the design symmetry, they could get a date wheel printed that would align at 4:00, but I'm guessing that is more than most brands want to invest.

Anywhere near 4:00 just looks wrong to me (poor symmetry), but I do like a 6:00 placement.

Glad to see the number of people with more than 25 watches creeping up; makes me feel better about how many I have - 16. Don't feel bad. I'm over 30 with Seiko alone. :oops: Here is what I could find tonight. One is with Duarte, and there is at least one more quartz dress model somewhere. https://i...
