The Dive Watch Connection

Damasko is one of the best makers going, IMHO. They have their own unique look, and the technology / innovation you get is crazy given the reasonable prices. I love my Damasko - one of the only modern watches I still have.

Hi. I just sent you a DM regarding your question.

Thanks.

Darren

Seeing as the watches look to be garbage, I was wondering how they had the funds to run a national television advertising campaign. Just goes to show you that savvy marketing and brand positioning can go a long way. There are dozens of newer brands / micros making far superior watches at this price ...

Will purchase a few one of these days.

Darren

.... very much indeed.

A turn in the wrong direction for ML.

Darren

Great looking watch, and engineered like no other. Just an overall winner.

Well done.

Darren

Nobody else is doing what these guys are doing anywhere near their price point. Love their watches.

Congratulations.

Darren

A ton of innovation packed into that timepiece, and also just flat out great-looking.

Well done.

Darren

and it's not particularly close. Bremont, at least to me, is a lot of fluff, marketing, silly historical tie-ins and expense and very little substance. No interest in their watches whatsoever.

The Pelagos is just the opposite.

My 2 cents.

Darren

GS has so much potential, but they just continue to put out uninspired designs. I would love to see some of Seiko's interesting heritage in their modern watches. Movements are great, finishing is great, history is there, but just meh on the watches.

Darren

would be preferable IMHO.

Nice diver though.

Darren

One would be hard-pressed to ruin a dial any more than this one is ruined by the date function. I suppose they could have enlarged it to cover half the dial or something like that.

Big pass.......

Darren

The destro would prevent me from acquiring one, but overall a great effort from Tudor.

Darren

I don't like it at 7k, and I wouldn't like it at $1k.

Not for me.

Darren

Steinhart is at their best when they create interesting vintage-inspired designs. Their craftmanship and movements "punch well above their weight class", as I think they are some of the best bargains available anywhere.

When they copy Rolex, I find them a lot less interesting.

Darren

can't. Don't like the logo, date or hands. I agree the Aegir would be the way to go if you wanted this look.

Darren

but that's just one person's opinion.

Darren

a bit large for my wrist, so will enjoy from the sidelines.

Darren

the date is abysmal. I still can't figure out why these watch companies feel compelled to add date functions to hommage timepieces such as this one. Longines also can't seem to help themselves.

Without the date would be an interesting modern option.

Darren

kills it.

Should have no date all. Otherwise, a looker.

Darren

A decent looking retro diver. Price is 2x what it should be with a Miyota, but pretty nice overall.

Darren

I'm not sure I understand why this one is worse than any of the others. Take Bremont, for example. How many watches have they launched with ho-hum, pedestrian movements that include a piece of an airplane, an airplane seat, etc.? Others are "inspired" by random aviators or vintage airplanes. The wat...

would have much preferred it with the Sellita movement? Will pass on the Miyota, but overall love the design and remaining specs of this one.

Darren

Extremely well done. IMHO, the best Nomos yet, and the best of your limited editions. Size, dial color and, especially, the lack of the date, make this a huge winner.

Nothing I would change on this one.

Darren

Would love to join you guys next time.
