The Dive Watch Connection

This. The U1P is the Mother Earth of U1s, actually

Great to see you here, Jeremy, and awesome job with this watch!

Nicely done, Eric. The texture on that dial is killer.

Love the Z199. Have my PADI NAFT on one now.

Looks awesome, especially on the Smurf and Daytona.

Welcome! Nice collection of dive watches.

Use a Capresso as well. I like the concept of the pour over and sometimes do it (just did it this morning as a matter of fact), but think I like our Cuisinart drip machine more than anything else

Nice job, Eric. Man, you don't waste any time--he sees it, he likes it, he buys it

These are very cool. I just think that a) they're not real Speedmasters and b) not sure they would make a good substitute for a Daytona C for me. I still want that white one, though.

I think this is my new favorite cheap-ish watch. I think I like it better than the Hamilton khaki field mechanical and the NAFTs. The hesalite crystal really works for me.

SBDC051 wears like an absolute dream. Sinks into the wrist, which the MM300 does not.

These guys are killing it. Making affordable, high-quality pieces, with lots of originality to boot. Good stuff.

The is also something to be said for not being completely stupid. If you get nabbed doing 100 mph in a 35, you deserve to get what's coming up you.

Do people still buy car alarms? Serious question. I thought those and radar detectors went the way of the Dodo bird.

I believe it's about a half mm thicker. This despite the fact that the crystal is now totally flat on top.

Around $2300. Seems like a lot when I bought and sold an SBDX001 for about $1100 a couple of years ago.

Anyone tempted? I've told myself I can own only one chunky dive watch, and the U1 Professional isn't going anywhere. My previous MM300 didn't last long, and this one likely wouldn't either. Too thick and wears unbalanced to me, and never worked well on NATOs, which was a deal-breaker for me, and evi...

I want to buy a Strapcode jubilee, but I hear they're all over the place in fit and finish. Bought an Uncle Seiko Z199 instead. Figure it's basically an all-brushed jubilee. Bonus is that I believe I can use the end links with an OEM SKX jubilee if I want.

Damn, I never gave this one a second thought but it looks so good.
