The Dive Watch Connection

another year gone past when they miss the stormtrooper white dial/grey bezel option. still happy to have a reasonably unique watch, but it's crazy that they haven't figured that out yet.

man, this doxa has seen some things.

The new watch smell has not worn off of this one.

8 years later, same.

love the meister line, all of them.

Coulda been a lot worse.

i was watching that scene and wondering how many times were they following a fighter and shooting in from the waist/turrets and hit other B17s with friendly fire? it's so chaotic.

hey, at least the dial isn't covered with the pattern of the hot mess that is the maryland flag. i see that crap everywhere and it's fugly.

love it. one of the biggest negatives (to me) of my grandfather's deville is that it's a gold watch. wish it was steel so i could find a BOR to go on it. but even if i could find a gold BOR, i wouldn't wear that much gold.

yeah, i thought full lume might be interesting, but the markers/hands make it look really heavy handed and clunky, imnsvho.

I think it depends on the brand, model, and intended use. Both my best friend and my daughter bought Jeep Grand Cherokees and both bought the (no longer available) Lifetime Mopar Warranty. Both have more than doubled the spend in warranty claims, which happened outside the regular warranty period. ...

i got the whole, "these new cars have so many computers and electronics, you can't afford *NOT* to have the extended warranty" line many times.

shouldn't they release enough of the originals that you could buy them online before adding new versions? I think the hype is the point. the hype has me ignoring the watches. let me know when they're easily available and i might buy one. but i ain't playing games trying to score a kitsch watch. thi...

yeah, i'll take "remakes that didn't need to happen" for $500, alex.

"also?"

i never did make it to the atlanta aquarium when my dad lived there, still regret that. part of me was thinking about paying to dive with the whale sharks there.

FWIW, it's probably cheaper to buy a ticket to the game than it is to subscribe to peacock for a month.

i'll reiterate that Roku is a big part of why we'd consider it. they have so much programming on their free live TV. i need to build the spreadsheet and decide exactly which services we'd want/need to cover most of what we'd lose on DTV. I guess I should have mentioned that I only added it to watch ...

i'm looking at getting an antenna for local channels, making some individual streaming service decisions, and ditching directv sreaming. i don't have patience for all the "negotiating by holding customers hostage" that's going on with the big streamers/cable. we've discovered we watch the free roku ...
