Re: ND Sub or PAM 112

I'm confused (but then I'm not very bright :lol: )! I thought you were keeping the PP. Or, are you keeping it and the Sub is an addition? Both would be ideal, as an historic classic and new classic together in the same collection. I agree with what others say about wearing the PP wherever: regardles...

Re: Watches you just don't "get".

I started this thread as kind of an experiment and to prove a point. With just the small percentage of our membership that responded, we've managed to find some hate for just about every watch manufacturer out there, as well as straps, bracelets, crystals, etc. However, this thread did NOT get lock...

Re: Watches you just don't "get".

There are so many watches i just dont get, watches that the majority rave about sometimes make me think "am i missing something here?" Same here. The Omega Speedmaster and all UTS models simply don't move me, but I was never willing to admit it publicly. This thread has been therapeutic, kinda like...

Re: Watches you just don't "get".

Nothing relating to an actual brand, though I've seen no Tags I like. I'm always saying I only like divers and what I really don't get is the Omega Speedmaster. Great watch, but can't see the attraction. Oh, and UTS. Again, probably a great watch, but really don't like the case design. Horses for co...

seal change intervals

Guys, for those of you who dive with their watches, how often do you get the seals changed? I've been getting my Omegas' and Breitlings' changed every year. However, when I went to my AD about getting this done for my Seadweller, the onsite Rolex technician, said it would only need doing every two t...

Re: Dark Horse

I don't have a "dark horse" like you guys, since I don't sell or trade my watches. However, I only have divers, and I prefer chunky ones. I bought a SD a couple of years ago and chose it because it's chunkier than the Sub'. Then, and I can't explain why, I bought a Sub as well. For the last couple o...

Looks great mate. Is it the same rubber as the old one? I hardly ever use the Omega one for my PO as it's a bit stiff, whereas the Breitling I have is much more flexible.

All that nice stuff makes me want a new watch. I ALWAYS want a new watch.. :banghead: quote] Me too. Problem is, the next one is always a bit more expensive than the last.
