The Dive Watch Connection

In the rental rig.

The best modern Omega as far as I'm concerned. Looks killer on the NATO too.

Black case looks good with that combo.

Heavy watches usually get them sold pretty quick, especially since I rarely wear big watches.

Just a great looking watch. I’ve never handled one and I’ve always been drawn to the Black Bay, but I think I would pick the Pelagos these days. It seems more modern yet somehow cleaner at the same time.

Love the Shogun but the 6r15 movement sucks!

Roger that. I really dislike that movement. I don’t mind it in the $300 SARB and it’s a bit more consistent than previous ones I’ve owned, but not at that price.

I think this looks better than the regular quartz Tuna. These hands are much better, closer to the original version.

Not sure I like all the lume dots, but this does look nicely done.

It’s very obviously a prostate scratcher.

Not sure this belongs on a NATO, but if I’m trying it on one, it’s got to be a Toxic. I think the charcoal grey color works well at least.

I like it, though I’ve never actually bought a two tone.

Going to wear the Explorer again. After two days I haven't quite bonded with it, maybe today's the day? https://i.imgur.com/UF9qukR.jpg What about it feels off? I think it's probably just that it's not a diver, any time I've tried wearing anything else it doesn't stick. I want to love it, it seems ...

I’ve seen it because there’s a lot of times I’m still working, though I couldn’t tell you the exact time it happens on my watches.

...but is it selvedge?

I hate to say it, but a red line selvedge stitched edge without that stupid leather might have looked like a more normal NATO.

My SARB has the 6R15D. It’s a bit more consistent when worn than my previous ones, but it still loses time like crazy until it gets to full wind. I love Seiko’s style at this price point, but I’d buy another Hamilton with the 80 Hr power reserve over another 6R15. Really want another Khaki and ever...

Although I was tempted by the new 41s, I do not like the big clasp on a DJ and they mess up easily (have one on my GMT and it has looked like shit since day one with the scratches on the polished center) I always wanted a classic 36 in white or black, with the WG bezel and jubilee bracelet with the...

Man that case looks spectacular.

Dammit you guys, was half expecting/hoping this crowd to be more like "if watches were sex positions, the DJ would be missionary style" or something to that effect. I truly feel it’s a hidden gem in the watch collector world. It’s all Submariner, Sea Dweller, and Explorer line, pretty much in that ...

I love the Datejust. I would have never given one a thought a couple of years ago, but recently I’d prefer one even to the Explorer. I love the blue with smooth bezel. Used to think I wanted an Explorer 1, but given the new movement in the DJ it seems like a far more interesting watch. Agreed. Appe...

I must be new but what's wrong with 6r15 anyway? I've had shogun for a few months and other Seiko watches with that movement and didn't notice anything They are hit or miss on reliability and accuracy. The newer D versions are improved if I recall. My SARB has the 6R15D. It’s a bit more consistent ...

Lots of rain.

301 looks excellent. Perfect balance of vintage looks and modern touches. Not much on divers lately and this one appeals to me.
