The Dive Watch Connection

Thanks guys, b'bye DirecTV...

Based on the title I was expecting something very different.

I think I'm finally ready to cut the cord. Our DirecTV HD DVR/receiver just bit the dust and they want to upgrade me to a Genie 2 that I've heard is still having a lot of teething problems. We're paying a lot each month for a ton of channels that we never watch, and that's after downgrading our pack...

Very cool piece, congrats.

Not my bag, but at 80 pcs each they obviously aren't going for wide appeal. Maybe there's a big enough market in Japan to sell them out

I'm getting the distinct feeling that the guy's a bit of a dick wad...

I'm still baffled that there's a market for all of these micros. It seems like a new brand comes into existence on a daily basis

They sure love that shade of blue. It's on everything now.

Yeah, maybe a little overdone.

It's a decent looking watch, but for $21K I'd be looking elsewhere.

Should have kept these two...

Nice!

https://i.imgur.com/CKNUrQy.jpg The 5002 - so nice. Or is that the Safari? One of these days... Love the 5002, but I'd kill for a version with no date and without the power reserver indicator on the dial - just a reasonable facsimile of the original. Will probably never happen but a guy can dream...

New strap just arrived for the Hamilton... https://i.imgur.com/ieCf0d4.jpg That looks sharp. Where did the strap come from? That looks awesome! :thumbsup: Thanks guys. The strap is the 'Wesley' from Bas and Lokes http://www.basandlokes.com/wesley-chocolate-brown-leather-nato-watch-strap/

Andrew is the best thing that has happened to this forum. Do you know how long you guys would have to live with the forum down if I was the only one managing it? It'd likely still be down now.

He has better taste in cars than you, too!

Bumping as a reminder.

I'm a big fan of the BP in all of it's guises, but every time I try it on I'm reminded of how BIG it really is - and this is coming from someone who wears 47mm Panerais. The ceramic model is cool but the watch is just too thick for me to find comfortable and I'm sure it would see it's fair share of ...

DWC = Red tag lol. Cool video.

I think that was 'rag tag'

Hodinkee is reporting that the Bronze Spitfire will retail for $6250 and the Top Gun for $15K.

I like both, but I wonder about price.

I don't expect them to be cheap. The entire Spitfire line has moved to in-house movements and the new case materials are sure to come at a premium.
