The Dive Watch Connection

Wife decided to try an EV for her commute. Been a good little car so far. Was $20k off MSRP with only 2,000 miles on the odo. Used EV's are the best deal going right now. Has literally 4x the horsepower of my wife's old hybrid. https://i.imgur.com/OKBGeYE.jpg I like these a lot and I tend to dislik...

from last night's date night - same watch today

That one gives me more of the SBDX MarineMaster than I thought. I might need that.

I hope he's doing ok. I've been stalking the site to see Tunas come back, but his inventory just keeps dropping as if he's working his way out of the business.

I have two extremely accurate Turtles at +5 s/d or less, and my MM300 is very consistent at +8 s/d. As far as most of my 6R's go it depends on what direction the wind is blowing that day. [emoji16] I've found they can drift from + s/d one week, and then a month later when I wear it again it's - s/d...

I love the obnoxious gold Turtle. I wish I would have kept it. The sunburst dial just laid on the extra hairy chest charm. I always undid and extra shirt button when I wore it. :lol: Fuck yeah!! I sold my first one and they are no longer in production so it took some time to find my current one pri...

All have been horrible timekeepers and even the ones have had adjusted eventually drift anyway. My Willard (purchased new) started out great. It was nearly quartz accurate. Then it started slowing down, losing like 40 s/d. I sent it in for warranty service, and it came back running great. It's been...

I really like the two LE versions of the 62MAS, but I also think that Seiko could have decided to NOT make them LE and thus sold them cheaper. In any case, I just bought an SPB143 (for the second time). Maybe I should sell all my Seikos and try to grab one of the LE’s, just not sure if I’ll enjoy i...

We're still doing "aged" lume in 2023?

I don't think it's as apparent on the black or blue dial. I'd still rather have whiter lume, but the white dial looks like a bag of smashed buttholes with the faux old lume.

If you decide to pick up some new “man heels” to match the man purse, Wario Mike has some really unique ones; Timberland uppers, but with 4” acrylic stripper heels.

Sexy

I can't quite figure out exactly why, but I really don't like that bracelet. Maybe it is too standard looking, but it looks like something off a Fossil or Relic watch to me.

Tom Bihn makes some really good stuff. I love their bags and they have tons of accessories, pouches, etc. Most of it is ballistic nylon or halcyon ripstop nylon. It's all made in the USA and they have a pretty good return policy where you can order a bunch of stuff and check it out in person and th...

Ok, seriously though I have a bit of a Filson obsession and I want to get a dopp kit, but I don't know that I love their options. I definitely want it to be less than $100, but I don't feel like this is something I need to spend a bunch of money on. I just got the medium duffle dry bag, but I'm tire...

Stock/production seems to fluctuate during certain times of the year. As a side note, anybody else notice that Seiya’s inventory is pretty thin. Yeah, I noticed that too. It was the first place I looked since I've bought so many watches from him over the years. I just bought a GW5000 from him a few...

Off for a weekend of off road riding at the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy event in Wales today.

I may well fall off, so wearing something robust

A classic! I think I'll bust mine out for work today.

Sakura says they can ship in 2-4 days. I've never bought from them, but a lot of the Seiko guys do.

That's a good price. I may try contacting them.

They still produce them

I thought so, I just can't seem to find one in stock anywhere.

Are these not a thing anymore? I thought the SBBN045 came out just a couple of years ago. I'm getting an itch for another Seiko and for around the $1k mark the 300m Tuna is a watch I've owned multiple times and I can rely on the quartz a lot better than their hit and miss autos. I can't find a new 3...

I’m enjoying my BB58 on both bracelet and leather Comfortable and versatile - it’s a great everyday all arounder https://i.ibb.co/427H7Xj/Penultimate-Full-Size-Render.jpg https://i.ibb.co/nfjPJz0/94-F41-E3-A-489-E-43-D6-8-CAD-E48368-E05242.jpg https://i.ibb.co/HKvvq0p/IMG-6091.jpg This is literally...

I will say that Vulcain looks spectacular.

I’m partial to the Ball Skin Diver on name alone.

I had a pre sapphire crystal Mako years ago. I really liked it. I should take a look. I like the red one but it seems a bit too similar for colors as my Spinnaker. I could go for a blue dial, that was always a classic with this one.

It's for Mary Kay top producers (or power bottom producers).

I'm definitely a power bottom then. No BS, I really like how they executed the color. It reminds me of bronze if they cut any brown or orange elements.

I would buy that watch if it were just a little larger. I can’t wrap my head around a 37 mm watch, even if it has a relatively normal lug to lug measurement. I think the color is perfect Agree. At around 40mm I would consider it. It's definitely pink, but subtle. I like the subtleness with the sunb...
