The Dive Watch Connection

I’m liking that it’s a “traveler” GMT. More of those seem to be coming out.

My vote would be MM300. Mostly because I can’t see upmarket/expensive micros. I’m sure the Monta is a very good watch, but this is just how my head is wired.

Didn’t those used to have all polished numbers? I have to admit the lumed numbers kinda work for me.

Yawn. Nothing original. Reminds me of a Seiko Sumo.

My take was Orient diver.

Sub standard

Per CNN: Nargeolet, the French diver, was accompanying the mission as a content expert intimately familiar with the Titanic wreckage, according to OceanGate’s archived website. He served as the director of underwater research at RMS Titanic Inc., the company that holds exclusive rights to salvage ar...

Latest news says a “debris field” was found in the search area. If it is the submersible, that suggests catastrophic hull failure and implosion.

A few random thoughts. I don’t get that worked up over using a Logitech game controller, those things are designed to stand up to gamer kids. What does bother me is the descriptions of how much stuff was operated automatically or electronics. One design feature of military boats is that you can do w...

I see a fewpossible outcomes 1. They’re hung up on something like the Russians a few years back. They may, or may not, be able to get free and come back up before they run out of air and power. If they do come up, that bolted down from the outside hatch is gonna look kinda stupid. 2. They simply los...

Also, you asked why I thought this was AI generated -- it's because you did such a good job on the formatting. It was definitely a high quality contribution, but the highly structured nature of the post was similar to what the AI attempts to do. It’s pretty sad that the ability to write a clear and...

Jay and Kay adapters with Barton canvas. Comfy.

Just arrived. https://i.imgur.com/bT1Lxpg.jpg Definitely will wear smaller than dimensions; more like 41/40mm. That's a good thing; I've been looking to move to smaller cases (without dipping below 40mm). I still have to get plastic off and wear it around a bit before sharing impressions, but initi...

Every time I think about selling off my Seikos, one of them falls out of my watch box. Hard to argue with a classic.

I’ve gotten back into the Joseph Wambaugh books I first read 20-30 years ago.

The Seiko 5M42 movement has a cock block that is used to move the hands. I only want to measure the vibration generated by the micropenis due to the movement of the ass and I do it by measuring the foreskin, but my system does not have the cock block, it does give me a squishy feeling, but how erot...

I like Doxa, I even had a few pages in Diving With Legends, I’ve owned a few over the years. But this one? I think they went full Gandofini on this.

I’m two weeks into my experiment of living with a no date watch. Yes, I’m an over thinking nerd. Anyway, it’s going easier than I thought it would, no problems adjusting or finding the date when I need it. This opens up a whole new list of watches to consider as my one retirement watch, so yay.

Buy low, sell high.

So, I bought this as an inexpensive test for living without a date. About a week in and it’s going pretty good. I always thought I was a must have date guy, but maybe not.

This little guy today. Can’t find anything besides the Seiko bracelet (which I don’t like) with fitted end links. Island Watches has a decent 20mm x 16mm bracelet that’s pretty comfy.
