Well it's the first piece on here in many moons where I've been excited to wake up the next morning so I could learn more about it.  Dang it's purty.

Looks like you got it right to the point where I topped out my first Big Crown build, then was faced with a big financial step up to the next plateau if I wanted to keep going.  What you've accomplished is amazing. 

If it was me and I was going to keep developing, I'd do this:

1) reduce the case diameter so bezel slightly overhangs the case both sides

2) do a real 8mm crown

3) better hands with LONG hours hand (good luck)

4) superdome crystal to replace the tophat

and that's it.  You're down to the fine details now. 

Whoooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

DETAILS man, details!!

Well hello there my lovely, I don't believe we've been properly introduced.

Here’s what mine looked like when I got it, after I’d been rubbing it on my tshirt nonstop for a week. Gouges upon gouges and bleached bone white indexes from years in the sun on dive boats.

Yeah that brings us to another topic, I’m scared of bashing mine because of Larry’s memory so it lives in the safe. If I had an old school MBW Sea Dweller it would be another story.

Very nice, yours looks like it could be the same watch in the video. And thanks for the video! It’s a nice discussion of the early days of sat diving and mixed gases. That’s where this one came from, my buddy was there in those early days and this one spent months with him outgassing in chambers.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If you buy based on what speaks to YOU, rather than a price point, you may find enlightenment.......& contentment.

Magnificent, down to the smallest detail.

Very interesting. The only problem is, after spending a couple decades here my tastes have refined themselves into a deep corner.

Now, I want 4-digit DRSDs and Big Crowns and No CGs and RCO “Sotto”s and Pre-COMEX Subs, and the bloody things cost more than a Cessna. A NICE Cessna.

It’s either Christies or I learn how to make them myself.

Solid endlinks??? For this kind of money you’d think it would come with a nice band.

Serious hunk of dead beast demands a Tactical response

Welcome aboard!! Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.

18” of new snow today, this calls for something Tactical

Oh my, yes please!!!!

Et voila’ mix and match. Harold will sell any combination you like (white not shown)

Sirens will go off if I see a good Caribbean. 

Here ya go, this Yobokies dial is made for that NH36 movement.  Add some white hands and Bob's yer uncle.

Almost a Caribbean...

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice!!  Wow!!  Thanks for the writeup.  I've already got the orange "300T" from Maranez and Tactical Frog and I'm trying hard not to be "that guy" who buys the Seestern too.  But wow your photos make it hard to resist.  So far I like the Froggie best, the bezel is ultra low profile and the crystal is ever so slightly domed, so it puts the dial and hands much closer to the surface.

How's the bezel on the Seestern?  Sticks up pretty high, and bead blasted on the sides?  How's the band?  Is it a real Beads Of Rice or is it a fake-o piece like that Tactical Frog?

A FedEx delivery ye say? Arrrrrrrrr and what be thine fresh bauble mate? Can it be a Seestern? A Tactical Amphibian maybe??????

Bristol ye say? Be that the bay what lies 400 miles west of here’n matey?? Why yer a mere hop skip an jump from me door!!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!  Finally a creative answer!!!!!

Hmmmmm, and I have two more watches coming in the mail, due to arrive this week.  

So you HAVEN’T seen his hot pink shorts?

Speaking of insanity and cling film, a little birdy tells me Mike On A Bike was just in Wildwood NJ again. Are the rumors true??? MOAB was that YOU sporting those hot pink swim shorts?!?

Yep I saw a Seestern in orange posted over on RWG.jr and it looks mighty good. So let’s see that would make 3 orange ones (Maranez, Tactical Frog and Seestern) not to mention the orange Seiko Soxa I built. Plus a yellow Maranez and yellow Tactical Frog plus (of course) another yellow Seiko Soxa. Oh and a blue Maranez V2. And a black Tactical Frog with orange minutes hand. YES DAMMIT, BECAUSE IT NEEDED TO HAPPEN! (pant pant twitch twitch)

Deep end? Was that what I jumped off of? Anyone want to buy a Doxa clone?
