Honymooning with this used BNIB 50th anniversary....

My first Rolex....comfortable...great looking and green.

I peeled the celophane off the case on this "Box Queen" and took her to 127 feet on the German U853 Uboat here in RI the second day I got it....no leaks

Nice one. An LV has been on and off my radar for a while, just not sure whether I could rock the green full time.
Love the maxi dial though

Thanx Guys...Dive season has kept me too busy to have a forum presence but it's winding down as the cold sets in. I got out to The Andrea Doria this August and got some hand painted china.....
The 3 colorful peices on the right are mine, the 2 plates were hand painted in Greece and the cheese platter in Italy:

This was the gear I took:

The watch that was my redundant in case my Shearwater failed.

Awesome. Great dive report too - it's not too often you get to go treasure hunting anymore.

Red, good to see you back around. Looks like some time well spent on the bottom this summer.

And nice pickup on the LV. Old skool case and maxi dial - that's the ticket right there.

You give respect, you'll get respect - you just don't know your place.

Yea I hear ya, but I am actually on a mission towards a smaller collection of 'true loves'.
So far I have bought a lot and sold nothing. Focus focus focus

Red, I see from your picture you were on open circuit? I assumed for that kind of depth people mostly used re-breathers. Excuse the basic question - I dive quite a bit but only shallow.
Regards
Steve
