The Dive Watch Connection

Both are great, however, apples and oranges....

different classes

The largest rolex to date, and IMO what they should look like. the only complaint is the bracelet, which seems too small for the watch head. My guess, they will redesign/upgrade it in next couple of years.
It needs redesigned

YIKES! I thought the breitling bracelets were high!

You have to think of it as an investment...probably done better than any 401K plan

Lots of work to make a crystal, amazing that they dont cost more (shhh dont tell the vendors that)

The blue stitched strap really (REALLY) makes the watch!

not to over-generalize....
Women are more fashion conscious so they need watches that match. (think shoes) therefore, they need many watches, and in different colors, so they dont want to spend as much money on them...it is a fashion accessory, not a cool tool

so I am told

I got milk.....

Way cool Dive watch. What are the price points on these...reminds me a bit of a zinex or what ever they are called now

It may be the angle of the picture, but seems to have too much taper from head to bracelet???
need more shots

That is one of the BEST re-issues i have seen..most re-issues make too many changes...Awesome

All is cool ....but the name "Fireman Racer" isnt that an oxymoron....

The Oris diver is a great watch. They are big. they come out with a new version every year it seems..playing the limited game.
they have had both SS and Ti in this model. I have had both. the ti is nice as it is not too heavy.

Keep in mind the resale is not great....fwiw

Nice watches, not sure about the wrists

How about some females modeling those great dive watches

Angle shots accepted

Yeah, i think Breitling is becoming overpriced, especially when you consider most are ETA movement based....and already over priced. Nice marketing company though.

Prices going up Monday ~10%

This is my number one Doxa...the one that is a must for a Doxa fan

Thanks for the welcome note. Absolutely i have some K's in my collection. I will be posting one or two when i get around to it Endurance B (prototype) and a rare, no longer in production Rose Gold Polar Surveyor .... Also, i need to clean out some parts stuff...bracelets and straps. I am trying to n...

+1 on creatitivty!
Very Funky. IMO, it would be cool to look at for a while...but could grow old and Fad-ish fast..(to me)

to each his own.

As a newbie to the site (but by no means to Watch collecting...its an addition), i was referred by another member. I was told "good conversation" on watches took place on this forum. Some of the (un-named) other sites are becoming a bit less useful (being nice) looking forward to being a contributin...

Check references
Get name and address (will need this to do the trade anyways)-make sure it is not a PO box
Phone number-Talk to the other guy
Google, google, google

actually check his references out


There is always a leap of faith if trade is not local

a day buying a watch(es) is better than a day working any day of the week

Depends on intent. For posting to a site, i have had luck with Digital point and shoot with a MACRO setting. no flash. Lighting is critical!!!! cant stress that enough. I use a combo of LED and the spiral florescent lighting. Avoid reflection. Dont use camera flash ...ever! You can make a cheap and ...

Using guys hairy wrist shots for a banner?? Surely, we can come up with a more compelling visual.....

We need a marketing person...stat!

about three years ago i talked to Michael at Kobold (back when he would talk to us lowly customers) and proposed he teach the Seal a new trick. many of us actual divers would like a yellow and orange dial version. He said he would consider it....apparently he did not like the idea as still no color....
