The Dive Watch Connection

Some people (on Instagram)...

I have to buy this for the husband, otherwise the relationship breaks. Please DM me as soon as it's back up.

Still can’t decide between blue or yellow dive bezel?

I saw them in person at Worn & Wound NYC.

The yellow is VERY yellow, and glossy. If you wouldn't buy a Doxa Orange then you wouldn't buy the Seaforth Yellow.

The Blue can be worn with anything.

The yellow looks awesome in photos. Not a Doxa Yellow, seems to have some orange hue to it.
Love these shots.
I do like Doxa orange but not Doxa yellow.




I’d do the dive bezel though.

Or Abyss shapphire blue bezel or fixed.

Yellow was cool. I took this shot at Wind Up.

Pastel with five bezel is my choice.

It’s a bit more true Yellow in your shot it seems.
Not sure it goes well with the sapphire bezel tho. I prefer it with dive or fixed bezel.

Maybe I’ll try ordering both yellow and blue, then déicide which to keep since I can’t really afford both

Pre-order cancelled until tomorrow

I'll be on a plane. Oh well...

So many butthurt nerds. Gotta love the comments.

Jason really needs to rethink his ordering process

Seems like he needs to upgrade his web site's infrastructure. I get that his watches are popular but, in reality, how many people are accessing his site trying to pre-order? A few thousand at most? Any reasonable web server should be able to handle a load like that.

I feel bad for Jason and whoever wasn’t able to get in and can’t try tomorrow. Hopefully he had convos with his host before today about the expected heavy traffic. And they’ve figured something out for tomorrow. This is a growing pain he has not handled as well.

I agree. It’s non-sense imo that as a business, they can’t handle that. But it’s not a big deal to me in the end. I wish him the best

This used to happen with Hinderer all the time.

It's true. Then they expanded production, produced a bunch of ugly shit, and the problem went away.

Wasn’t Hinderer the stolen valor guy?

I think that was Strider.

But yeah, the IG comments are very funny. One guy was pissed because he took a vacation day for the preorder.

Yea, Strider. Thanks

From the pre-order webpage...

"DUE TO A SERVER CRASH, THE PRE-ORDER HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR 8 AM PACiFIC ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 19TH. SINCERE APOLOGIES TO ALL WHO TOOK TIME OUT OF THEIR SCHEDULE TODAY BUT WERE UNABLE TO PLACE AN ORDER! "

Yes...I totally forgot about the preorder this morning. Now I got a second chance at it. Has anyone ordered from Helios pre-order before? I want to get two but i wonder how the cart system is gonna work. If you can add one should you check out right away or add two then checkout?

What an idiot. No $800 watch is worth a day of leave.

probably took a day off from surfing the web in a coffee shop

Anyone got a paraphrased version of that story? Anything I ever tried to read was really long and drawn out.

Claimed he was a ranger and combat veteran. Came out that he went to jail for stealing a car or something like during the period he said he was deployed. Dates don’t add up and the admin of bladeforums really hates him for some reason, so he dug up a lot of dirt that doesn’t make him look the greatest.

I don’t particularly like it, but he has done and continues to do a lot of work with veterans, etc. and I don’t think anyone could doubt his love and support of the military and veterans. He also happens to make a very good knife.

Thanks. I guess I knew the gist of it. I sure wouldn’t mind finding a used PT.
