The Dive Watch Connection

Nice strap.

But seriously those Hirsch extreme rubber straps are extremely comfortable. Remember when we all first tried them on the korsbek ocean explorer?

So there are actually two different cases on the original models. One is a little more boxy (left) and the other a little longer (right). I was lucky enough to get one of each from an old timer that used to be a SCUBA instructor in the 70’s. Here is a picture that kind of shows the difference, incl...

Crap.

I ordered.

Love the benthos. They should just call Sinn and get the EZM1.1 movement. But it would probably be a $5K watch. It's better than the vintage at this point. The chromo is temperamental and hard to service. When it works it is great. Im on the fence with this one. The only saving grace is the croon ha...

I’m in the 36 camp. There is a reason Rolex brought it back and usually once they move on they never go back. The 36 rocks on nato also. rolex can’t make up their mind with 39/40/41/42/43. Datejusts work 40. Completely different dial and hands (I rock the wimbeldon on jubilee). The explorer looks od...

Ranger on uncle seiko jubilee.

It’s Tudor tuesday

IMG_0766.jpeg Nice. I havent had a chance to see one in person. What are your impressions of it so far? It’s not bad and frankly looks and feels like the blancpain. Lots of blancpain dna - even the water detector at 6. Easy to change straps (0.9mm hex key), good lume, decent bezel action. NATO isn’...

I have been using Wandrd backpacks and really like them. Lots of way to store things. Just got a sling but have not tried yet.

It was inevitable.

this thread did need actual pics.

I grab them both for different reasons…but damn both are the best in the category.

But there is something about the 36 that says “I’m even more versatile and the classic Rolex size.”

There is a reason they brought it back.
