The Dive Watch Connection

Hmm. Well, are there any non-mesh alternatives?

....can you guys think of a more...budget-friendly version? I love the Omega Mesh, but I think I'm looking for a non-mesh kind of thing.

So, as much as I dig the mesh bracelet, it's mowing my arm hair.

Would a 24mm watchadoo be cool for the DSR500? Anyone have suggestions for cool 24mm aftermarket bracelets? (Does not have drilled lugs, so I need that little space in the straight endlinks to put the strap tool.

Thanks!!

I love that. Once I'm working again, I'm hitting the big trail again: CSAR, PO 45 or that one.

Thanks!!

Have to say, I've gotten more compliments from non-WIS (i.e. EVERYBODY ELSE) on this one than any other. Period.

A winner!!

The watch distinctly makes me think I've entered my TV, and I'm in the show "Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea", which has flying subs and fricking sea monsters every episode. It's pure awesome escapism.

It hits all the right buttons. I mean, Joe NAILED this one. It's not thick as most, looks amazing day/night, and is just damn unique.

....I said ONE WATCH for NOW, right? Hehehe

HAHAHA. Wait!! This is how DON sent it.

I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Yes, they suck, but the watch is AWESOME.

I LOVE HIS STUFF!!!

Ok, there's one here in Louisville. At Macy's. This one they have, the new Gx56 KING? Nope. I didn't buy it. I just couldn't. That thing is crazy. "Outing" is right. :bootyshake: Seriously, it looks fun. I'm just not sure I could pull it off. (I say this with an Adventure Time avatar AND animated GI...

So, my first experience in WISdom was Mitch at O7. Horrible.

Reeling, I ran into Enzo. Who made up for it in SPADES. Easily the nicest, most generous guy in the biz.

Ridiculous. You're NEVER being weird or aggressive. Not cool, WUS.

+1

I know that's how my brain works. The damn thing...

I've got a 24mm Enzo that might fit the bill there!! Great idea!

I know it sounds silly, but Zixen's new DSR500 fits the bill for me. And brand new on rubber, it's under a grand.

OK, quick update.

DSR500 is still awesome. Thank you.

Honestly, I love this thing. And the orange zulu is a GREAT idea. Thanks!! (Didn't think about that one.)

And Paul, of course, I'll keep you in mind... (But somehow I think this one might stay awhile.)

Quick Update!! DMH's NATOs are in! Wow. I know where I'm going to get my NATOs now. They look amazing. I'll get pics when I get back home tomorrow. I'm on mesh right now. But the Blue is a deep blue that matches the dial MUCH better than the Maratac Elite that I just got in yesterday. That one is mo...

Ok, THAT looks AWESOME!!!

Nice snag, Don!!

Sorry, Adam. Didn't catch part of that. Sounded like your gold teef fell outcha mouf.

Hmm....

24mm Blue Plain and Blue Bond NATO ordered from dmh. CHECK!
24mm Maratac Blue stitch from Broadarrow. CHECK!
24mm Desert Tan 3-ring ZULU from Countycomm (and a flashlight and a bunch of gadgets). CHECK!

Will post pics when they arrive.

Ooh, now THAT I like....

Would dmh's TAN NATO do ok with this dial?

I ask, because I've never really had a blue dial watch that I wanted to try other straps with.
