The Dive Watch Connection

Just received it yesterday. Looks showroom new! Love it!

Ha! Got you all beat! Well, for age anyway. It's my "new" old Speedy Mark II. This watch is making me infinitely happy. Purchased by a fellow DWCer on steel, but I had to see how she looked on a rally...noooice! http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e273/Dan7Pines/DSCN4521_1.jpg http://i41.photobucket.c...

I'm not exactly sure, but I think this might be the sexiest watch & strap combo in the history of Watchdom...
Thanks, Matt!!!

That's a helluva picture right there!

I enjoyed my Sharkmaster for a time. Built quality was awesome. I sold it because its lines and dial were way too close to the Omega. Same reason I sold my sub homages. Now I'm with my beloved Seikos (that I never strayed from) and am now wearing a Doxa 1200 Professional. I guess in the end I'm ulti...

Oh my...that white sharkie is the BOMB!!!

Hobby paint or...crayon. Believe it or not, crayon does a great job! Just be sure the paint doesn't get on the brushed inner bezel. Tape that off. It's super easy to just take a pin head and drip a gob of paint in the number(s), then let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, then simply wipe off the excess...

$3,150 is crazy. The buyer was stupid to go that high. GREAT looking watch, but I wouldn't bet that kind of money that the thing is exactly as advertised. The lume looks perfect...maybe too perfect. After 35 years, would lume look perfect? I don't know, but I kind of doubt it. And the guy wore it fi...

Yeah, there isn't a bunch of newer stuff out there that trips my trigger, but that is one bad-ass beauty there!!!
I love the way the case is built, and that internal bezel is outstanding. Retro-looking, but modern.
That is a very handsome piece indeed.

My 1200 Pro is so sexy I don't even know what to do sometimes. And yes, chicks and old dudes and even children dig the orange. Is it for everyone? Are waffles for everyone? Wait, that makes no friggin' sense...you know what I mean though. If you've dropped a set and can walk around with an orange wa...

Great looking watch in many respects, but it doesn't do it for me. The bezel, dial, and hands are too much like so many other boutique offerings as of late. And the sides of the cases have too many nooks and crannies and harsh angles. I like knowing that if I whack the side of my watch case, I can h...

You are so right! Worthless without some pics!!! I've always said that a dive watch on leather is a bit...different...but I like to change up the look from time to time and gave this a whirl. It works for me! :cheers: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e273/Dan7Pines/IMG_3608_1.jpg http://i41.photobu...

Oooooofda...ya done well for yerself!!!

Gulp...holy crap!!!! That is about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!!!!
Wow...thanks for sharing that.
Dan

I think I'm officially on the prowl for this watch!!!
BTW, there was NOBODY cooler than McQueen...

Okay, I might've spoken prematurely...I'm looking at the McQueen Monaco and I've been bitten...hard. Holy moley, that is a good looking piece!!!
Dan

I absolutely love my 1200T Pro. It is very classic looking and I like its smaller size. Plenty of pop with that 27mm dial!
I currently have it on a Jurgens tropical strap in dark brown and it looks outstanding.

Dokay...ya busted me! I'm a troll!
(Uhhhh, what's a troll?)

Okay, I'll just participate and get the feel for the DWC site. I do like the banter, the far-less-than-oppressive moderation, and, admittedly, even though I own a Doxa, I like the honesty and freedom of the Doxa forum here far better than at WUS. Some really good guys there too, but ya gotta watch y...

Okay, how do I join the team? I'll be a free agent in August. I throw a pretty good slider and a wicked curveball. The fastball touches 90 on occasion... :lol: I'm a Doxa and Seiko guy primarily, but have owned everything from Omega to Tauchme...Tausch...Taushmei...that piece of shit watch I sent ba...

I've never written a post that got hog-piled before...sweeeeet! No, I hear you all about Tags - low-end stuff... eeeeeeh ...high-end stuff is nice. I do like the chronos, and the vintage Heuers are sweet. Visiting their website, I see that Tag Heuer now makes a smart phone...really? How's about stic...

I was poking around online, looking at the different Tag Heuers out there and sort of arrived at the conclusion that Tags suck. :bird: What I mean is, what's with the plastic crown guards 'n' sh*t? Plastic bezels too. :scratch: And is there really a watch equipped with a $20 quartz movement that's w...

Hoooeeeey! Matt, that is one beautiful piece! I have the 1200 pro, but seeing that SR with its sunburst dial has me drooling on this end... Hey, my only rip is that you took pics of your lovely SR at the wrong time of day. Ya gotta snap shots at, like, 2:40ish, so we can see the script on the dial.....

GREAT point about Seiko abandoning such a cool case design. I don't get it either. If they came out with the 6105 or 6309 again, could you imagine? Man, they couldn't keep up with production!!! Those pristine 6105s are just too expensive for me, so my 6309-7040 with the 6105 dial is a pretty nice wa...

I even tried to slip a few words in like "Cheerio," "Mate," and "Kit," but they didn't buy it and exposed me for the Midwest dope I truly am...haha!!! Seriously though...if you're going to put out limited runs of a particular watch, the bezel alignment is something you simply assume will be right. I...
