Hi all, just joined today so thought I'd introduce myself. I'm from Britain, 39yo and always accumulated watches. Until recently I didn't see myself as a watch collector; these things creep up on you.
I enjoy swimming and snorkelling, I've never scuba'd so I set my personal dive watch threshold lower than the accepted 20atm. Recently a big penny has dropped when I realised I just don't like "Dress watches"- tool watches all the way!
Here's the rundown of the ones from my collection that I see as "Divers", with the proviso that the Breil is a two pusher chrono so three holes to seal. I don't even wear it for washing up.
In descending order:
Breil Manta chronograph 10atm 8A054
Animal Zephyr 20atm WWSV06
Invicta Pro Diver 20atm 8926

Re: New member
Welcome! I'd say lefties are weird as well, but with my reputation it could be taken out of context.
