The Dive Watch Connection

I wanted to buy this, but was too afraid of getting stuck in the worm hole with a never-ending wait for delivery. I am glad to see he's delivering on these. It looks like a stunner.

the green dial is a stunner

Had the same issue years ago. I kept the funds, goods were returned and never heard from the buyer. Since I received the item back and never heard from the buyer, I didn’t file for a credit. Let things pan out and don’t stress it. I ended up donating the sold goods in the end.

Yes and yes....but this is the way of the future! To be fair - I want a Rivian, but that is merely because they look cool, I like the idea of wheeling in general silence and the range will fit well with my commuting patterns. However, I'll be waiting until I have some solar on my house to charge it ...

Its interesting to watch from afar for sure, as I'm not in this market. Same deal with cars. The BMWs (e30s) I love used to be $4500 for a primo example. The exact same car is $12-15k today. Clown world. I keep wondering what will happen when to the car market, particularly with the older collectib...

I agree with a lot of what he said in that video, but although I understand NFTs on a basic level, I don’t get it.

Honestly? Put a quartz movement in it. Sell it via women's fashion outlets. You'll make loads of cash. But its probably a million miles from the kind of watches most people here go for. (IMO) Wrong demographic here but as mentioned above quartz movement and women’s watches you’ll make a fortune. Se...

They have some cool variations on their site. I like these a lot.

I see a few that I’d not call important.

You mean like the Daytona?

More like the Dominos Air King that used to be hard to sell at $2k and is now selling for $10k+

Does it at least come with a side of garlic bread?

Garlic flakes in the movement a la Bremont style.

Price?

If you have to ask...

Watching the Alpinist now. Better flick. Unfortunately, like many of these push the envelope type athletes, he's already died.

Happy bday to DWC. So many here have helped me and my family in some serious time of need. Can’t thank this group enough. You all are amazing peeps! You realize I live here now and we haven't had a drink in years :tap: That’s true!! We need to get together and catch up one of these days! Any time d...

Many non WUS look to Omega when they can't get a Sub.... and since you can't walk into Rolex and buy a sub I don't blame Omega for taking advantage of having actual stock....

Indeed. That's why I largely tapped out of watches. The fun:value ratio went lopsided in the wrong direction for me.

Lol

I don't know, breaking that 5K price point is somewhat significant.

I thought the price was too much at 4k (without discount). 5k+ is just ridiculous, but if people pay it, might as well charge it.

Lol

They spent less than a minute covering some of the climbs. It would’ve been better as a short series. The accomplishment is unreal, but I was disappointed with the presentation when I finished it.

Finished it. That documentary doesn't display how badass this accomplishment was. These guys are absolute crushers. Mad props. Yes. It’s hard to comprehend the physical endurance and conditioning required to climb even one of these, let alone all 14 in such a short period of time. That being said, ...

Been around 10+ years. As the one who provoked Mike's "Band of Dickheads" designation, I feel I've cemented my place in D Dub history.

Just started watching this and 13 minutes in I recognized the crown of a Bremont on the main climber. Anyone else catching this on Netflix? The task was nuts and the cinematography is terrific - as expected from Jimmy Chin. Seems solid so far.

I like the design, but it's going to be hard to push these out at 4k euros. Since you appear to be the owner/designer, now's a good time to introduce yourself.

Exactly my same thoughts.

He appears to be the silent type.
