The Dive Watch Connection

Thanks for posting these Tom. I never owned a Hamilton before but I can see making the 41 my first. A question for those who have had watches with the crown protector thing: does it make setting the time a PITA? It all depends on way it’s designed but if it’s got a good clearance i find it easier a...

Those 41mm frogmen are now on my list. I love the watch but can’t do 46mm at all anymore unless it’s a G.
41mm is perfect!

Shh. It’s better than any other logo they have ever had. Hush or they will change it again. Lol. They have always had trouble with logos. I still think it’s better than CW or Chr. Ward etc .

I’ve never had to deal with scurfa for anything but I can’t imagine Paul wouldn’t take care of it Lumtec is in Ohio, they assemble all their watches (and countless others for other brands) and regulate movements etc, you’ll have no issue with them if you ever need anything. Ares you’ll probably wait...

I’m the odd man out. These do absolutely nothing for me at all.

Just lighting.

I wish my wife liked hers long enough to need the battery replaced.... re-selling womens watches is tough sledding. All of the watches she currently owns I bought for her, either just because or birthday or Christmas gifts and she does love all of them. But doesn’t store them like we do. Just throw...

So three of my wife’s watches need batteries and I’m taking them to the jeweler today. A cheap Casio, a Tissot and a Momentum. After our late breakfast today I see her grabbing a small ziploc bag and walking into the living room. I yelled at her, “are you planning on taking your 3 watches and throwi...

The date window is just inexcusable. I hate watches with a date placement like this and this is one of the worst I have seen. The price is also crazy but marathon watches just aren’t cheap anymore.

I was totally in for a black C3 10th anniversary till I saw polished case sides. I’ll wait for a titanium.

Heres the best part. It is an original seiko strap. Check out the pic below. The guy i bought it from mentioned he bought it as is in japan, however i just came to know that its not a J model. It doesnt say "WP japan" behind on the caseback and "made in japan" on the dial. So its either a singapore...

My wife loves candles. I know nothing about them. What’s a soy candle?

Don’t these come with the new Nodus adjustable clasp too?

Yes they will be. Hoping it will be the revised version. I wasn’t overly impressed with the first one.

Can’t they just, you know, order one?

I have one of these in hand for review. Couple weeks out on it, but it’s a beautiful piece in person.

......and every time I see that brand I think of the old WUS thread Paul started ----- Show Your Tasticals

How much quality control can you really expect on a Chinese ripoff with a frog. You get what your paying for with these.

Even for $200, that fucking frog on the dial is horrid.

The name is less than ideal, curious who he came up with that. This is perhaps for future plans for that company to offer other products beyond watches? My wife tells me that cargo pants are coming back into style... so maybe they will capitalize on all of the crazy shit that the EDC crowd brings t...

I like this one a lot. Should I go yellow or finally give in to my strange desire for something two-tone? I’ve had that strange desire as well but what always holds me back is it’s not real gold (obviously) and it always stops me. Something kind of like women’s fashion jewelry to me. Sent from my i...

I’ll throw my review up here for those that haven’t seen it. It’s a great watch for the price but I do discuss the bezel action, the quick change pins and the lume.

I had the OG model. Wasn’t anything special. They let watches with typo on the dial thru QC out to customers. I remember that. I reviewed the original about 8 years ago now. In fairness though, Christopher Ward put out that super compressor with the words being off center on the dial, and that was ...

I don’t believe there is a no date option in the works. The original was day/date so that’s what they went with. I know they have a few ideas for others but I didn’t hear no date.

$28,000. I just can’t. Obviously only the elite can afford it and i beyond articles and videos done by the brand and their ambassadors, this thing will never see water. It will sit in a collectors case and some posh annoying collector will pull it out occasionally to impress his friends. Beyond that...
