The Dive Watch Connection

Nice thread and great writeup. I like a guy who puts good thought into a thread he creates!

SMG is a beautiful watch.

A lot of folks recommend curved springbars to fit a zulu on a watch without much clearance between the case and spring bar. Not sure what the lug width is, but they sell a bunch of aftermarket curved spring bars all over the internet.

I think Omega made this one specifically for my wrist. It's such a natural fit:

A couple thoughts after wearing it for awhile. It's still a bit heavier than I remember the 1000T being. I'm going to have to fiddle with the fit and micro adjustments a bit to try to get the fit right - it's not quite comfortable on my wrist yet. For reference, my tastes have gradually been shiftin...

Glad to have you here, Geoff. Sounds like a great bit of diversity in the collection - your experience will be appreciated here. Hope you find this place to your liking.

Nice sized storage chest for a great price. I just have a dedicated drawer in the dresser next to the bed in conjunction with a watchbox on top for watch stuff.

Their offerings never did much for me, but like those here, I haven't heard anything but good things about the company CS.

For a dress watch, the DJ is a classic choice. I wouldn't worry too much about wrist presence for a dress watch - in fact, you probably want it without much presence. You've got some larger watches, so the DJ isn't going to have any wrist presence compared to those. For the money, I think Rolex is a...

That's a good trade. Love the orange dial.

Your wife will be excited by the idea of dumping the death machine; should be easy to spin it in a favorable light. :thumbsup: You are right about that. She has already given the go ahead for the proceeds to be spent on a watch. The only thing she hates more than my watches is my motorcycle. That i...

No doubt my favorite video showing how a watch works. Good Sticky material. :whistle: +10000 Best video I've seen in terms of explaining the inner workings of a watch. Thanks for sharing, Graeme. That was definitely helpful for me - I usually don't know too much about how the darn things actually w...

I'm pretty sure I'll be loving vintage watches when today's modern watches are vintage. But for now, I'm not a huge fan other than maybe a birth year watch for a dresser.

But to have a watch that's got a story behind it, that's great. Nice watches in this thread.

Definitely hot. With that watch, you cover your midsize watch needs, so I'll take the Explorer off your hands.

Well now I'm embarrassed to post a wrist shot since Kenneth's invaded the thread, but here you guys go. I took a few and this was the best I could manage with my point and shoot without a tripod. :oops: For reference my wrists are as massive as Kenneth's. It wears very comfortably and almost on the ...

I thought that word was banned from the English language in 2010?

I actually am double-wristing today since another watch came in. On one wrist, of course, the 1200T Pro :love: http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p258/mattjwu/watches/doxa%201200t%20pro/doxa_1200t_pro_00Large.jpg http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p258/mattjwu/watches/doxa%201200t%20pro/doxa_1200t_p...

Thanks fellas!

I'll try to get a wrist shot in tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll just edit the first post with my thoughts as I compile them. But this is a beautiful watch and right at home on my wrist.

Congrats Matt... how does it wear compared to the 1000T? Heavier for sure. Not quite sure if the flatter caseback makes that much of a difference. Bracelet is definitely thicker, and that's a nice change. Don't really notice the difference in dials at all. HRV on this guy is a little dinky and hone...

Hate these first few days with a new watch. Can't get any work done because I keep staring at my wrist.

Hey... 12 weeks is a long time. I've only had my Soarway Diver for about 16 weeks and it feels like a childhood friend.

I'm reunited! :love: Many months after foolishly sending my 1000T Pro over to a couple of Vikings, I've finally been reunited with one that I shouldn't have let go of in the first place (okay, not the exact same one). My 1200T has arrived! The thicker bracelet is a nice addition. It's a bit heavier,...
