The Dive Watch Connection

Thanks guys. Awesome Squales Peter!

Love me some vintage quartz divers from the '70s and '80s. They were often more expensive new than their mechanical counterparts. Now they fly under the radar and good deals can be had. Still have most, but a couple are gone... https://imageshack.com/a/img924/3667/OCQL6S.jpg https://imageshack.com/a...

That situation sucks. What's even worse are dealers that hind behind collector facades. There are a couple that I've dealt with in the past. Of course it wouldn't be expected that a purchase or trade should be one-sided, but don't BS me by acting interested in a possible equitable deal and then lowb...

"The Longines Skin Diver Watch". Glad they cleared that up.

Damn. That's interesting.
I haven't had any issues with the 3 models I have had (still have 1)
Makes me curious about having a look inside though.

I will interested to see what (if anything) Unimatic has to say about this..

No issues with mine either. All very interesting.

Sounds cool Terry. This is the only type of Bee that I know anything about...




Not my car - wish.

Starting the weekend early today. Going with the Nethuns Lava.

Like that a lot. Been considering one myself.

Had a vintage 34mm Ebel that at first I thought was too small. Started wearing it and loved it. It's all in what you get used to. Wish I hadn't sold it.

Good looking watches. I almost bought a stainless version that was listed cheap on WUS a while back, but read some poor reviews and decided not to.

Below is an interesting comment I found at the end of a seller's post: Please look at my previous sales threads and feedback prior to messaging me as I do not have time to prove myself to new or skittish buyers. To that I would say that I do not have time to message you for your PayPal or wire info...

Good points all around. It’s mostly not an issue of his posts. Just kind of a gut feeling. I could be wrong and hope I am!

I've learned to always trust my gut feeling. If something about a deal or buyer makes me even a little uncomfortable, I pass.

Scurfa Bell Diver 1 (maybe). Just in, and it's so new and shiny I'm reluctant to remove the protective plastic. Weird, I know...

I owned a Dino Zei back in the day along with a couple of Anonimos. Liked them back then because they were unique. This new collection is a f'ing train wreck, especially the models with the giant "DZ" logos.

Ridiculous.

What's up with those fat ass hands?

Reminds me of back in the day when I sold watches for a living. More often than not, people would judge the quality of a watch by it's weight. I'd always get a kick out watching some neophyte jiggle a watch up and down, then proclaim that because it wasn't heavy enough, that it must be cheap.

Just what Movado needs - another "Lifestyle Watch and Accessories Brand."

I tried this type of strap (MN variant)- just didn't work for me. Agree about the buckle.

I'm a big fan of vintage quartz divers. I sold this 40mm Squale Technisub last year. Wish I had held onto it. When I bought it, it came with its original box and sales receipt dated 8/23/85. It originally sold in Buenos Aries. I've not seen a one like yours before - very cool. The bracelet appears t...

Cool unimatic; You like??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Thanks. Like it a lot. Instantly regretted selling it a couple of months ago. Luckily, the guy I sold it to offered to sell it back to me before he posted it on any forums. I was considering buying one of the new releases, but don't ...
