The Dive Watch Connection

Looks v good to me. I think the odd gear colour is to do with the photo setup rather than reality. Bracelet seems to be in incredible good nick. Very little stretch. Price reflects the highly polished case I'd say. Eg left top lug. So case not v crisp as they say. That's the big differential with pr...

I don't own the sub anymore so really it's a HULK and a Speedie. And I feel very lucky to have that HULK. Alot of stuff came together for that to happen. I was looking at "classic threads" and though I could not read the thread, I found the note left for Nick on his windscreen. Now I get the "are yo...

nah more the jewellery rolex models and the TT. i haven't really seen much of these really strong looking dive watches before so it's new to me and interesting. things like GP sea hawk and kalmar etc.

For something I might be actually able to achieve it is the BP. and i really can't think about others right now because i'm so focussed on it and trying to get one. although every time i see a vintage one i wish i had a time machine or had been into this watch stuff 20 years earlier like that winean...

hi there and thanks for the great welcome. really liked this "It's my fault. I didn't have my glasses before and I thought your name was "m_gray"." we don't use the term much in australia but i do believe that is a zinger! enjoying digging around the threads. some of the opinions on watch aesthetics...

Took me ages to get that terpits. I'm clearly out of practice. Picked the wrong handle for this forum. Should have gone with my second choice.

Can anyone explain the nick reference? An inside joke relating to a light footed fellow perhaps?

I'm slow off the mark today.

Too much of it seemed real I thought. Like when he's drinking in a hotel room describing another failed interview for a job and seems genuinely on the edge. If it is parody he's pretty talented I reckon.

You bet. But one closer to the rr!

Oh and to clear I was apologizing for me being vague. I don't want to start on wrong foot round here.

Sorry. That was too vague given we're dealing with a wider community than my family Xmas get together. Just that kick is my son and I also have a best friend who's a nick.

Who is nick. Nick s or nick t?

i've never seen anything like it so can't help with the shipping etc. but may i say great looking dial/hand combo and what an OX of a watch! robust is not a robust enough word to describe the obvious heft of that watch. solid. very very solid. what is the weight i wonder?

seiko a great watch if i'd been prepared to spend more on servicing. day and date plus i could have day as "sun etc" or in roman. and the sunday was in red! cool feature i thought. biggest problem for me was i wanted really good time keeping and it didnt seem up to it. now i realise with some regula...

Did you try two screwdrivers? Better yet, two threads! You should definitely start another. funny. yes i'm a noob trying to get my post count up but seriously, i'm having best laugh i've had for awhile. although watching that downfall video is a great primer. watched it twice so far and it still wo...

pictures! you're right. didnt know what a mechanical watch was until i was about 35. (yes i am pretty honest about how stupid i am) polar was great and got me running. could even change writing at top of "dial" connected to computer by infra red as well. seiko great but got water in it and couldnt h...

this is cool idea.

my favourite and daily wearer for a year almost exactly.

Hi All, I just joined and watched the mandatory orientation and hitler videos. Very funny doesn't do it justice. Uncontrolled laughter isn't an every day occurrence these days so it was pretty special. Two odd years of being on slightly more restrained forums was released in ~ 10 mins. Felt great! V...

i wish archie had stayed involved. his youtube videos are funny and it was amazing to watch him melt down over time. although distressing at times also of course. he has natural humour but doesnt know it which is a good combo if you ask me. my favourite is the sitting in grass with a camera tight on...
