Exceptional watches. I've worn a DeepSea. I know I can wear it, but not all the time. I think it's a watch that would be worn, but seldomly. I've never handled that particular Seiko.

Breitling Super Ocean. I have a Steelfish. You can find these used for about 1500.00 or so. Robust watches and I like the designs personally. I don't see too many Breitlings in the wild. One thing: they are highly polished wich may not suit your taste. The other alternative is a Sea Wolf [44mm x 18m...

I've had a PO since 2006 [late in the year]>>

no issues.

On a side note: I did speak once with Roger Smith who worked with George Daniels. I mentioned people on internet forums had posted issues with the co-axial movements.

His answer was improper lubrication. The Co-axial movement is very finicky in this regard.

U1, in a heartbeat>>>

alot of watch for the money.

I like Kobolds, but they are pricey. Soarway is nice, but I prefer the SEAL.

I've handled both U1 and Soarway, I would prefer a U1.

I really like the looks of it [clean simple dial]. I passed. My thinking was save up some more $$ and get another Sub. I was thinking a nice 5512 or 14060. I pulled the trigger eventually on a pre-owned Rolex Sub no date instead. Took me awhile, but I went ahead and pulled the trigger. It's actually...
