The Dive Watch Connection

I hear ya

All I care about is that that's my buddy, Danny, in the header image for the Hodinkee article. Not sure why they used him, considering that he's a Patek watchmaker, but whatever. Dude knows his shit. Regards, Adam Would appear that Danny is giving some presentation on an ETA escape wheel, so a fair...

First buckles will likely be ready in a couple of weeks. Terry is getting one of the prototypes soon, so you will all see that before hand

At $34 you're gonna be working round the clock to keep up with the demand. You won't need to make watches anymore lol That would be ok to a degree! But I am keen to actually make the watches, not just build from parts. That is my ideal situation for Aegir and I have always had that plan. Spectacula...

$34 USD shipped by regular slow mail

Yes same thing. Basically it is a belt buckle design. So a few people have done them now, thats why I decided to

Price should be at least $50 in my opinion..lesser buckles sell for more. Bronze would sell in my opinion. The fad if you will is still strong. Titanium should be an option.

1) agreed price is great (agreed, maybe too good?). i'd be in for a few in stainless in 22mm 2) i'd for sure be in for 2 iso tangs as well 3) no bronze watches and no plan to add one, so no you didn't specifically ask, but ti may be a potentially popular option assuming you could source raw materia...

ezcheese wrote:good news on the new movement. can you make me a buckle with a shark cutout on it?

2 sharks mating perhaps ?

So it does not get lost in the previous thread, I thought I would start a new one and ask a question, polling those you frequent the sub forum. It would be better to get an idea in the Main I suppose, but lets try here. So the Roller buckle takes some effort to hand finish, as that is how I am doing...

Very nice Todd, If it were possible to make something to fit the ISO it would rock to have an Aegir buckle to compliment the watch with its factory strap. Great work. So I will not be using the Isofrane after the last cases I have now, which is approx 12 more in total. Time for a change, I will be ...

(glad to see you intend to do both 24mm and 22mm, as I just had some straps made for my cd1s that taper to 22)

I caved in

I'd love to see that buckle with a tang wide enough for an Isofrane. Possible? Would that lug bar fit through an Isofrane? Of course it is easy to make the tang, but no, that 3mm bar would not fit an Isofrane. The Isofrane hole is too close to the top of the rubber as well, and you would weaken it ...

So I made this. I have a couple of samples made and will be sending out now (yes Terry, yours) and a couple of worse than thought cell phone pics. 24mm and 22mm roller buckles for the time being. Polished screws for contrast, but they can be anything, brushed . bead blasted etc. I am doing all this ...

Count me in for a buckle for damn sure. I can't wait to see where you take things, Todd. I got nothing but praise for your work so far. Its all a bit slow, costs too much money and becomes a little tiring doing things the way they are now. Making buckles certainly takes some time too, but I am maki...

Glad to see this Todd. Are you moving ahead with a new diver anytime soon? Trying, but I do not have the cash to do it anymore. The $AUD is like toilet paper. I am trying something out, that may or may not work and be a new direction. I am making my first buckle on my cnc mill now and will be selli...

You know that I'm a fan of your work and I wish you the best!

Please add me to the top of your list for any new model!!

And a buckle!

I am starting with the roller buckles. A few companies have them now, so I think it ok to make them.

So bigger in diameter ? Thinner ?

From memory (not cheating with Goggle) yes.
Same as the A10 as well

Thats the one

So I decided to use the new Sellita SW300-1 movement going forward. Soprod are getting hard to deal with and i cant get an answer to an email for 6 months of trying. (I need 6 winding stems extra) As an early adopter of the A10, I dont expect any special treatment, but I do expect an answer. I had i...

Ok, that would suit me #34 please
