The Dive Watch Connection

love the 356. my stepmother had a red '63 256 when i was a kid in the early 70s. that car was fun.

pass on all of them.

that's the real BWITW, Roger.

this is where i ended up.



figured indiglo might be a fun feature. 38mm.

it also has the breaking bad connection, if that matters to you.

unfortunately, that one is 40mm, which might be a little big for an 11 yr old.

there's a 38mm one that's $68. that's on my short list for now.

thanks for all the suggestions, guys. The Kids' Timex Camper watch used to be available from J. Crew. Not sure if they’re still available but that’d be a great starter watch. https://www.jcrew.com/s7-img-facade/43965_GR7824?hei=2000&crop=0,0,1600,0 Also maybe check eBay and Amazon and you might find...

my office is doing a salvation army angel tree gift drive for less fortunate kids. and, of course, I picked the kid who asked for a watch. I don't know much about him, other than name, age, and a few clothing sizes. and that he likes ninja turtles (but i don't want to do that for a watch). so not go...

yikes.

there's a ***lot*** going on there. way way too busy and messy for me.

16 years, 160k here. I have a 7 mile commute. And have almost exclusively worked from home the last 3.5 yrs.

we hit that on both of our cars. nissan frontier and volvo s60 (16 years on each). just sold the s60 to buy the rav4 prime. hope to keep it for 10-15 years again.

i still have my maratac mid pilot, although i almost never wear it. it was the first automatic watch i received (i ordered two at the same time and the maratac came first).

one thing i will say about them, the lume is like a klieg light. bright as fuck.

Didn’t Kobold buy a farm….?

i'm guessing some people who wish he'd "buy the farm."

nope. that's a niche watch for a niche i don't like.

if someone really wants something like this that doesn't cost that much, buy a simple leather strap, send it to me, and tell me what you want on it and i'll engrave it for you.
