The Dive Watch Connection

Aegir CD-1/CD 2 seems very close to the Seal. I owned the latter at one point and was really a terrific model. It was their very early variant/production. I just saw Roger’s post from WRUW Saturday (yesterday) and someone at their G2G had a black dial Aegir CD 1 …I think haha. I believe these may b...

Not a fan of Nodus design in general, but this one looks good.

Didn’t WestCoastTime do a run with the original Seal case, but sterile dial? I’m pretty sure they aren’t available new, but it’s something to watch for. Yes. They are exactly the same other than a different dial and bezel font. Totally interchangeable. I have one of the wct seals. It’s identical. F...

Laco and Dievas made several watches using identical cases. Some of the Lacos are particularly nice.

Good suggestions. I like the Dievas Focal.

Looks like the Laco Seven Seas is still in stock. Tempted.

Is West Coast Time still in business? They had the 1:1 “homage” a while back using the same case.

I think he retired and sold off his stock. I can't find where the rest of the watches went.

I've considered a patriot. They're on the list.

To add to this....Does anyone know who made the Soarway/Seal case after Fricker?

Hey guys, It's been forever since I've been here. I got bit by the ugly tool watch bug again recently when I saw a kobold in the wild. Does anyone know of any micros or ANY watch brand making a seal or Soarway look a like watch? The past ones that come to mind are the TC1 from Tactico/Crepas (long s...

It's gotten worse over the last few years. Many of the theme forums are just gigantic 500 page circle jerks for micro brands (a ronda movement and yellow dial SO COOL!!!!). Literally so few are posting original stuff anymore. Not to mention the used market is soft. So the "deeper pool" of buyers isn...

Wow....What a thread. I've got three U1's and to my knowledge they all have the plastic spacer ring. I've also known this for a while and didn't think it was scandalous. On occasion not too long ago I opened up my U1-D out of curiosity and noticed the plastic ring. I thought it was cheap, but then I...

I wonder how this will affect release schedules for new models.

Wilson watch works already has some of their stuff. Not bad except for the mineral crystal.

I think Rolex strangling some of it's AD's and limiting supply to the ones it wants to keep around have something to do with this. Grey market guys are selling new SS sport models ABOVE their skin price.

Is the "plus minus" supposed to show you where the batteries go?

57. Looks great!

I actually don't think it looks that bad. Steinhart's logo is the worst part on this one.

Ha, no it's just the picture. It looks pretty reasonable in terms of size. The official diameter is 41.5mm.

Well, the U1-BN is sold out. http://www.unimaticwatches.com/u1-bn/ So I'll say I'm in for the SS version, but I went back and forth on it for a while before I decided to give it a try. The dlc is roughly 650 shipped, which I found hard to stomach with only an nh35. These watches are pretty pricey r...

Really looking hard at one of the new Unimatic subs. They looks great, but I wish they had kept their original "model 1" going a little longer. I think they sold the rest of their stock to some shady fashion shop (Luisviaroma) that's charging $767 without the bracelet. I even emailed them about the...

It's a great looking watch. You should get it back from your kid and wear it yourself

It's just the angle. I promise!
