The Dive Watch Connection

I want one, but price is out of my range.

You'll probably score a GMT next.

what a crappy thing to do.

I'm wearing mine. Been wearing it since Friday

wish I had the funds, I'd probably pick one up. Wear it in health....

I pm'd you on TZ. You have a fantastic collection....

Frank

I was at that show on Saturday with Kurt [mrsnak] and a few others. I saw some really nice pieces, including a few Subs [5513's].

Frank

I love your pictures. You have a way of taking pictures that tell a story. Your collection is to be admired as well.

Good to see you here.

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.

I'm a big fan of this watch. Pam's are not my taste (at least for now)

[quote="homathetes"]Yep I've been there a couple times. Great Breit and Tag selection. Pretty friendly people there too, they hosted WUS's breit forum members when the shop opened and the party sounded like a big hit, with busted out scotch and lots of fondling. :excited: And I didn't get that PM fy...

I PM'd you. Did you ever check out Jewelry Couture?

I'm east of you btw.

Frank

I don't see too many of those

I don't know much about Tudor. I've only handled a small sampling. The Sub section was pretty interesting.

Thanks for sharing.

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...

like you, I've been on other forums, but they are getting a bit stagnant.

Kudos to Tim for facilitating this transaction.

I'd have to say "Yes"

Although I still have a few pieces I'd like to get my hands on, I'm pretty happy with my current collection. Acutally, I've exceded my expectations.

Frank

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.

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.

Thanks for posting that.

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...

jubilee bracelet and the fluted bezel are my favorites.

any watch where there are multiple iterations [derivatives]: Submariner Navitimer Two Counter chronos [like the Tutima manual wind] along with alot of pilot watches Speedmaster Pro Datejust [jubilee bracelet has been copied so much] I'd have to say 'ExplorerI' as well. MkII has a watch very similair...

I don't think they are sold out. I checked with Ben Bridge and they don't have any shortage.
