Titanium Resco

[Chocodove]

I want to love the watch, and maybe I’m the outlier here, but I had such a bad experience with Resco when I bought the original. Mine went back 3 times for warranty repair, they wanted me to pay shipping both ways (from an APO no less), and the last time it came back scratched. Again. Still great looking watches.

Had 2 Korsbek’s and wish I still had them; was in on the first pre-buy of the OE and it was such a steal. Dealt with Paul a few times and he was great.

Sorry to hear that. Has not been my experience at all over the past many years, but obviously it happens.

The original Resco’s used a Russian movement, I believe called a Val-24 and it was problematic. I believe it took a while for them to realize it was just a bad movement overall, but Smitty eventually replaced those with ETA’s and they stopped using the Val.

Love that Ti Resco Todd!

Yeah, he replaced that one (Slava) twice, then put a 2824 in. It died. The watch was just snakebite.

Resco is the reincarnation of what everyone loved about Kobold in the early days. So much SEAL vibe in the piece. I'll have one someday.

DWC special edition group buy, like that 44mm Ennebi group buy years ago?

I would 100% be in for a DWC Resco. No-date, of course.

Case looks like a Korsbek. Remember them?

Wow, memory lane!
Korsbek oceaneer was my “grail” watch when I first started on Dwc. It was my first dive watch besides the few Seiko I had. Poul was awesome, he helped me a few times with issues i had. I wish I still owned it. This is one of my first ever watch pics:

$2500??? Damn the sharks out there…
I think mine was under $1000.

The VAL24 was such a shitter. I believe I got called out a few times in the past when I stated that.

that blue dial looks really good. what is the L2L on it?

I had one in a LumTec back in the day. Mine was fine, but I know it was problematic for them too.

50mm. Wears a bit smaller IMO.

I believe so. Which sucks because Resco was a new brand when that occurred. But I have heard (besides Michael) that they did make it right for a lot of owners. And that speaks volumes imo.

Don't know where else to put this, but I hadn't realized Smitty and Nicole were featured on TV a few months ago.

I saw that. Pretty cool and some great exposure.

A couple questions for anyone who might know:

1. Does Resco still offer the UDT in steel?
2. Do they sell a bracelet that is compatible (same finish) with the Ti UDT?

I’d be shocked if they didn’t have some steel cases still available. Reach out to Nicole at info@rescoinstruments.com and she’ll take care of you.

I do not believe they offer a Ti bracket at this time.

They don’t offer a Ti bracelet, but the steel chainmail was recommended by Nicole is a great match for a Ti UDT.

Thanks for the advice. I got in touch with Nicole, and she was a sweetheart to deal with. I have a steel UDT on steel bracelet on its way to me next week. Best part is that Resco has their remaining steel cases for the UDT on a nearly 35% discount off the regular price. So Merry Christmas to me!

Nicole and Smitty are the best. Congrats.
