The Dive Watch Connection

That watch is so fake, it is fascinating...

It's all about condition, this one is mint. You can also say it reflects the going rate for a pre-moon Speedmaster; e.g. the price for a ref. 105.012 with or without DO90 would probably be close to the price for this bezel, earlier references even more.

Thanks! Didn't find that article when googling. Same lighter based on the descriptions.

No prob, bro. Thought someone out there would find it interesting.

Love the 6105s! Yeah, still want yours Tommy. :) Breitling Unitime, ref. 1765 today: http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w419/ArneHR/2143d6cc-62e8-4496-9402-1c1d51088011_zpsptjsnwxs.jpg Original owner was a helicopter pilot who bought it in Vietnam.

I know a lady who is one of those people who frequents yard sales and always seems to make money on reselling those items. Anyway one time she bought a Zippo lighter for a $1 that had a petroleum emblem on it. Can't remember the gas brand name, but may have been Sinclair. Anyway she sold it on ebay...

Yeah, I know. All his buddies are experts.

No idea on value, but that's way cool. Here's the Wikipedia page on Gen. Westmoreland. His Vietnam service was very controversial here in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Westmoreland Yes, his visit to Norway was controversial as well. It was supposed to be an official visit, meeting ...

Vintage, but not watch-related. But maybe some of you guys might be interested anyway? Also, I have som questions I hope some of you guys might be able to answer.

Congrats! Nice Enicar V72. Been looking for one for a while, but usually they are in a pretty bad shape. This one though...

Kind of miss mine one of the watches I sold before I moved to Montana to have some moving money. Any problems getting it serviced? Being a tuning fork watch and all? I've got a 1960 that needs some work. There's, like, one old dude back east who has a lifetime accumulated stash of old 214 parts and...

Did you guys catch the first episode of season 7? Love this pitch for Accutron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSNVy7FeL3g Here's a brief presentation of the watch, really like the Astronaut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf_fn3IgawY Damn! Not often you get stuff like that in a TV show. :fro:

Well, Breitling ALMOST had it with this one. Very much inspired by the ref. 788 (Premier) from the 40s and 50s:



No date. 36 mm though, probably too small for most dive watch people. But what a beauty!

'33 Rubis' :banghead: :shrug: :snooty: Hate this.. reminds me of cars in the 80's that had stupid badges all over the tail.. 3.2L GTX LSi 24 valve Delux Sportback :banghead: Oh Rubis, don't take your love to town. :rimshot: http://gv-musikk.no/media/k2/items/cache/9189082f4804c1ab16e77d2cfe8d09d4_X...

Shit. I have to get one. Damn you Peter!

Wow Peter! Nice. How is the part and service situation on one of these?

Minefield allright. Had to give up the hunt myself. But on the bright side: Stumbled across the valjoux 72 Marinemaster while hunting (Stewart got one I think, ref picture). Thinking of getting one, but they are quite pricey:

Great stuff Rene! Hope to see more in the future, serious vintage love is always appreciated here at DWC.

This watch seized to be a Milsub a long time ago.

Nope. That doesn't work well with a suit and/or shirt. Just my $0.02. And forget the Pelagos as well. Certainly not dressier. Then you are just as well off with that Aero if you ask me. I would go for a JLC Memovox or maybe a VC as a dressy watch. And if you twisted my arm and said it HAD to be a di...
