Not to thread-jack, but I figure this is as good a place as any to post this. Love the Doxa style, and was looking for a more casual, weekend watch for under $1,000. Found this vintage Searambler being sold by Mark Tannenbaum (drster), so I picked it up. Mark gave me a great deal - highly recommended.

No BOR bracelet, but the watch itself was just serviced and is all original save for the generic crown. Think I'll try to paint the numbers on the bezel.

Thanks!

Its diving days are definitely behind it, but I thought the original gasket was a nice touch. I read from Dr. Pete's website that having a dial with both the U.S. Divers and Synchron logos was kind of rare, so I like that, too. He also says that the Searambler dials are prone to discoloration, but this one seems to have held up pretty well.

I was thinking about that, but I'm not sure I'm up to the modding. What would I have to do?

Like the new signature pic, despite myself. :lol:
