The Dive Watch Connection

http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt80/whitford_bucket/cf80d5-1444806013_1_640_zpsvjlog15b.jpg Just purchased this - in the mail. This is the reissue and bought for $160.00. The original is a spring drive and one went for around $50,000.00. The reissue is based on a Sieko 5. Good value for the buc...

So I've not had a pilot in some time and was considering adding one to the stable but can't afford to buy one of the big guys. I wanted to stay under 1000$ and even closer to 500-600. I usually don't do Steinhart anymore but always liked their bronze Nav B uhr. It was just crazy big at 47mm and lik...

Merry Christmas from the isle of Guam, we are a day ahead of the mainland. The best for all of you at DWC. Come visit us - we have beaches and very warm weather.

It is a big watch, but should be very comfortable - about 47mm case size - Tried to purchase in Japan, but was told not available - for ex...

Not my pic, but thought it awesome.

Some days are really better than others! Argue this. No watch content.

Do not know of any watch stores in Lake Geneva, but grew up there and the Lake is awesome.

The BMW dealer ship is where they put the new top on. Dave@Guam

Looks like a BMW GTG, nice autos though.

BMW, watches, DWC, neon sneaks -- love it!

Need to replace the batteries in the sneaks every couple months so they can keep their glow.

Unless your wearing crocs this group won't approve the sneakers....lol

It is the re-issue black dial model. Dave@Guam

The hat and sneaks can be forgive because you're retired.

Better to ask for forgiveness, than ask for approval.

On sale on Amazon for less than $2,000.00 - last one. Eat your heart out! Jumped on it. What an icon and new. Dave@Guam :...

Sometimes the car overdrafts the watch. New top for the Z3 and that is a Hammy Pan Europ recently acquired. Love both!

Hey guys, Now that my Speedy is truly gone, and I'm having doubts about dropping $4K on a Bremont, I've been looking for a good, reasonably priced pilot chronograph and came across the Steinhart Nav-B Chrono 44. Anyone have experience/opinions on this watch or the company? Thanks! :thumbsup: I have...

Will do, but the watch may be smarter than I! Dave

http://i599.photobucket.com/albums/tt80/whitford_bucket/_57_zpsccfb1a0c.jpg Could not resist this one - incoming. This is the 1970s version supposedly in mint condition. That makes it over 40 years old. Cannot put this one in the water, but should be able to use it as a formal watch to take to part...

The point is DWC asked for watch reviews and it proves that watch snobs exist.

But isn't this post a joke?

YES! Humuoooooooor lacking at DWC.

Compliments my Officer Master Aircrewmember Badge 2. Goes with my Space Badge 3. No Batteries - whenever it flaps it's wings it recharg...

ok - Here is a PIC of my 2003 BMW Z-4 and a fairly new stealth UBOAT. The car and watch are presented due to a request by forum member.
