The Dive Watch Connection

While not like something that I typically wear, I can appreciate the design and features of this watch. Always good to have a sense of humor around here.

18 months? by that time I would have sold it 4 times. congrats on it. Seiko looks great. Love those vintage Rally divers. My watchmaker has had a vintage Super Squale I sent in for a dial and hands relume about that same length of time. Driving me nuts. Screw that. I would find another watchmaker. ...

The subdial picture sucks, but I’m sure some will like it.

Agree. I've never cared for any of the special edition Speedies with pictures in the sub-dials.

Ha! That's great. Haven't heard the term "Texas Timex" since, well, I lived in Texas. Beautiful watch.

^^that^^ Vintage ...good vintage...has become unreachable for many now as well. I guess it’s a sign on a stronger economy. I’m definitely not spending like I used too on the hobby. You're absolutely right Mike - good vintage prices are at a level that I wouldn't have thought possible a few years ag...

Reading thru this just confirms to me I'm happy to not be a part of any of the social media toilet bowl.

Followers, influencers, paid shout outs, what BS!

Agree. Couldn't care less.

My OCD is kicking in. I'm not sure why they did it but if you look at the inner scale the numbers 20 and 25 are following the pattern but 35 and 40 are the other way around. If you turn 35 and 40 around to be "the right way up" then would you not have 20 and 25 turned around too? It just looks off ...

Really impressed with this Spinnaker...

Grey day in the ATL...

Very insightful post. I've been down the same road many times, and have spent a fair amount of money coming full circle back to something that I should have never let go in the first place.

Me too. Older pic...

Thanks Mike. I'd love to have another too.

My favorite vintage Movado. Only 500 each made (Movado/Zenith). Sold my last Movado Pilot with box and papers for $3,195. in 2007 - easily worth double that now. Sorry for the crappy small image. It was the best I could find from twelve years ago: https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img921/7355/9f0wq5.j...

Can never get used to seeing the date with the month second in the sequence. Thought this was old news when I opened the post. Before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I'm just saying it's different than from what I'm used to. As for the watch, I generally like CWs, but not what I see of this on...

You're right. There's very little information on Zenith divers from that era. I collected vintage Movado watches almost exclusively for a few years (mainly from the '60s, and '70's) and would sometimes pick-up the Zenith version of the same model. Lots more info from the Movado/Zenith era. Interesti...

So cool. Especially on the MN.

I have a couple too. Nice straps. Haven't tried the single pass yet though.
