The Dive Watch Connection

Cool watch- never tried a ploprof and at that price probably never will.. The Diver 300 model is $6300 on bracelet.

Slightly used at $4250? Seems possible and pretty attractive at that price.

Did anyone post this yet? https://hodinkee.imgix.net/uploads/images/ab85d340-3c10-40b3-bb78-5a9a526dedfd/omega_seamaster_300_01.jpg?ixlib=rails-1.1.0&fm=jpg&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=crop&ch=Width%2CDPR%2CSave-Data&alt=&ar=16%3A9&w=2400 https://hodinkee.imgix.net/uploads/images/3959cc1c-bcb3-4ebb...

Which is a tougher and better designed watch?
Monobloc tuna Vs monobloc ploprof?

Tougher in what sense? If you mean "beat it to shit", then the Tuna has to win because you can always just replace the shroud.

From ‘dink: “the case and proportions. This watch, though visually quite new, is actually a return to classic form for the Ploprof. With its 55 x 45 mm case diameter it now features effectively the same case dimensions as the OG.” $14k GTFOH These have typically been a pretty good deal used. I bet ...

Lume on the new Ultra Deep. Kitschy but kinda kewl. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230627/36836fa0e41bc34ebd858db4375782f9.jpg Is this real? If so, that's the stupidest thing that I've seen in watches -- which is an achievement because there has been some total shit. Yes, it is real. Clearly, a...

^^^ $15,000 for a Seamaster oh hell no! I may only be able to collect micros soon. The prices are beyond silly at this point. Maybe it's not the same one: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52957397121_d41972b58b_b.jpg That’s a different one, but that price is way crazy over the $7,900 MSRP. Good ...

Wasn't the OG SM300 introduced in 64'? I have to wonder if they will finally do some sort of sword hand reference in 2024. The current SMP hands have grown on me and I now like them. Unique and they are nicely finished and work with the current glossy wave dial nicely. SMP is quirky and unique. Whe...

I just don’t understand why they won’t give us a modern 2254 style. I hate the skeleton hands. Agreed. I’d love solid sword hands and a different bracelet. I was just going to post this. I'm not sure why they're so stuck on the bond version of the SMP -- the version that nobody liked back in the da...

Isn’t this technically theft by UPS even if it was unintentional? Can’t you take them to small claims court?

That’s what I was going to post. I’d call the police and report a theft. Then UPS can either leave the driver out to dry or actually figure out what happened.

Someone sued Shreve in San Francisco, which was an AD I really liked back in the day, but now has a pretty shit reputation, because they spent about 200 grand on watches, with the promise of getting some highly desirable piece allocated. When it came time for the allocation, Shreve couldn’t deliver ...

I have the first scheduled visitation with my daughter today. It’s being supervised and facilitated by a therapist. I’m sitting in the car down the street from the therapist’s office waiting for her to give me the OK to come in. It’s surreal how fucked up custody fights can be for men. One day, afte...

I avoided this one in real time. As some of you know, I'm going through a divorce. Given the ongoing litigation, I can't say much besides I definitely didn't see or talk to my daughter on father's day! Bummer to hear Jacob. Indeed. Spent my 44th birthday without her as well. Gearing up for not doin...

Yes, that is the model. Very helpful. In the future, when you get a new pair of leather dress shoes or boots you should use a pen to set the crease. It won't always be perfect, but it will be a lot better. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1163/3390/files/2016-06-07_11.08.14_copy_copy_8aee3924-f0d0...

I understand explorers taking risks to make monumental discoveries and I understand military personnel taking risks in their missions. I don’t understand unnecessary risks taken by rich people with more money than common sense. He should have just built a cock rocket like the Amazon guy. Funny you ...

Didn't Moser do a one off similar to this as a joke?

Juneteenth is national watch day? I had no idea. The erasure of watch fans continues.

Asking for help here fellas. I bought a pair of the Wolverine 1000 mile in September last year, and bizarrely in January they developed a painful crease across the top of my foot. They were perfect for 4 months and then right during a long walk from one end of midway to the other, it started. No am...
