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 :salute:

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..... :headbang:
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.

Thats why I have 60 or so watches :lol: ....A.D.D. or A.D.H.D. not sure which :think: ....I can never seem to stay interested long enough to comprehend the difference between the 2. :scratch:

Red, good to see you back around. Looks like some time well spent on the bottom this summer. :thumbsup: And nice pickup on the LV. Old skool case and maxi dial - that's the ticket right there. :clap:

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 :scratch:

Now my wife says to me, " I really like that green one" :scream:

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.
