The Dive Watch Connection

Definitely not something that I'd usually go for, but saw one of these at an AD today and liked it a lot. Pictures don't really do the rich dial justice. I've been mostly good this year - maybe Santa will surprise me. I also like the silver dial version... https://imageshack.com/a/img924/7687/3zXkYF...

Australian Heeler? (the dog, not the watch. ) Both nice looking.

Man, good DWC people are just eating crap right now. Here’s hoping that December turns around... :fro: Yeah 2018 hasn't been one of the best years upon reflection. But I'm generally the optimist. Thanks J Sorry to hear about your truck. Yeah, for me 2018 has just flat out sucked for many reasons. O...

Solid gold isn't often associated with serious dive watches, but these two are the exception. So very cool... First is a solid gold Scubapro 500 Chronometer shown in these two ads from the early '80's. I have never seen one either online or in person. I would imagine that very few were made and sold...

Older pic, but this one today...

Looks great. Hard to find these in good condition.

Gloves aren't going to help that watch.

Nice. Love DPWs.

Dan Henry's been around for a while now. Nice, well made watches at a reasonable price point. My favorites are the 1970 Compressor style diver and the vintage look 1963 chrono.

Even the brand name isn't original...

Wow. I cannot wait till these start getting flipped in a few months.

Me too. To me, this is the reissue to have. The price makes it even better.
Not the exact reissue version, but still kicking myself in the ass for selling this one...

Oh that’s weird.
I hope I didn’t offend him.

IMO, dude was excited and proud of his incoming watches. Not sure about the whole "Seiko Guru himself, Spencer Klein" thing though. Maybe he figured you pissed in his Cheerios, but hell, HTFU.

Owned several of the originals. Think I paid $800. for the last one that I had. Of course that was nearly ten years ago. Can't believe what they're going for now. Almost $6K for a reissue? GTF outa' here!

Have read about this before. Pretty interesting. Thanks for posting.

Seamaster Mariner I c. 1976...

Great straps for sure. For some reason though, I just can't get past the "Uncle" branding stamped on them.

Barely wear it, but still enjoy it when I do.

So nice. Gone, but not forgotten...

Cheap vintage fun...

Nice one. Quartz version on original Isofrane.

Thanks for the pics and report Terry. Man, I'm really liking that Baltic Aquascaphe.
