The Dive Watch Connection

Won’t find hate from me. I’ve been on a gold kick for awhile, and vintage Omega style is so uniquely cool.

Buddy has a Seiko 6139-6012 that he wants serviced (and a date wheel swap, which he has already purchased). Nothing major wrong with it, just a basic tune-up and date wheel swap. He brought it into Grand Central Watch Station in NY and got a pretty pricey quote ($1600). I can't imagine that's the go...

No. It’s the SD4k that was only made for two or three years 2017 to 19 or something like that. He had the bezel matte blasted. That's sharp. :cheers: LA Watc...

It’s the same model but not the sam exact watch. I sold that one pretty shortly after that, picked up the Ti/blue one even...

My first Sub was a 2-liner no-date 14060M, so it's definitely a special watch to me. That said, if you've been accustomed to the quality of modern watches for awhile, many aspects of it will be underwhelming (the bracelet especially). Unless there is a romantic sense of nostalgia you're chasing abou...

TR!!

Sup brotha.

I'll prob be in Dallas for a conference mid next month. Should see if schedules allow...

I liked it a lot. Great actors playing great characters.

Jorge wants to set up something official with DWC. Thanks to Jeff for continuing to keep the relationship warm. I’ll report back.

Sell the BP to me, of course.

They went all in at the top and got caught with their pants down.

Good warning, T. Someone’s gonna be left holding the bag if they go belly up.

Haven’t taken one of these in awhile

Just to add… The more I think about it, I believe pretty much all watches fall into two categories: “practical” (i.e. quartz / smart watches) and “statement” (everything else). In the “statement” category, I’d say there are four sub categories: 1) Luxury (focus on affluence/ success) 2) Premium (fo...

Brand vs. brand is always a subjective argument. It's clarifying to establish criteria by which you're comparing, otherwise, it's apples vs. oranges around and around without end. There are so many reasons you might value a particular watch. Sentimental, material composition, engineering, history, a...

Agreed - totally run like a company organized in silos. That's exactly the right way to describe it. It's like GS doesn't even know that these weird random watches have a feature that GS sorely lacks relative to Rolex and other similar alternatives. Worse that they have the product designed and imp...
