The Dive Watch Connection

I don't think I've bought a new piece in well over a year. Last one was GGD's Kobold. So the state of my collection has not changed much; this is what I got: Breitling Avenger Skyland | Breitling Emergency | Kobold SMG-1 | TAG Aquagraph Chrono | TAG Super Pro | TAG Pro 200M Quartz | Auricoste Spiro...

Beautiful Dave. I have been holding off because I wasn't sure I needed a second SAS but your real world pictures just about sealed the deal.

Perfect Jay.

It's all about being Thin or Slim these days. Oh well.

Anyone know the price on this?

No clue, but Jason's watches are always surprisingly affordable.

If it was the larger (42mm?)Thin O Matic I would buy it myself.

Too small for me at 38mm but this is hot and cheap as hell.

Seeing that this is turning into a "micro bashing thread" ...... I think it is possible for any watch brand to make the occasional lemon. Shit happens. Some watches are just cursed and can never be "made right" whether it is regulation, pressure testing, winding, etc. I didn't mean to imply that al...

I love that watch, and it is perfect on the Isofrane. Post as many pictures of it as you like.

Well the ones I have that are over forty years old are well known brands and did well and most are still in business and will be around forty years from now.Can you say that for Boutique watches here one minute gone the next.Some mite last who knows.But if a well known brand will last for 40 years ...

Well thought out response Mike. All 40 year old dive watches good and all boutique divers bad. Brilliant.

That looks fantastic. Nice leather choice and as usual, beautiful job by Micah.

No you just regurgitated someone else's statement as a fact, which it may or may not be.

So did Jasons IWC, which cost many thousands of dollars more.

Have any of you heard that saying there is a sucker born every minute :popcorn: Now just think about that. There was one Boutique brand famous for flooding cases and those cases were made in China like most of them. Mike, I assume you are referring to Helson with this statement. One lunatic with an...

I would love to know which brands you have had negative experience with.

As mentioned, the resale sucks on these. That one is cheap enough that you should be able to break even when it is flipping time.

Next thing you know he'll be looking to complete the set by buying a black one.

I like the dial but the thin strap throws off the proportions for me.

Welcome. That Royce Marine is so cool it might be the first vintage I liked enough to wear. How rare are these?

I love the font they used on the case back of the P-51.
