I had it lying around from another watch...could have been from my Tiger Concept? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

An auto should fit. A colleague of mine and I were in a meeting this week and I noticed his new watch...it had a blue dial and blueberry bezel. It had to be the Davosa! Nope. It was a Mathey-Tissot but...it wasn’t a GMT(?) However it had the bezel and same mid-case as the Davosa. M-T used the same dial but print circles versus squares, same mid case, similar crystal but with a cyclops...and it comes on a heavy version of an oyster (didn’t care for it myself...). It runs Sellita SW200 or a quartz. His had the auto with the exhibition caseback (it becomes thicker) and had a longer crown. It’s 649 CHF! https://www.matheytissot.com/b2b/gent-watches/942-rolly-vintage-automatic-40mm.html So...an auto with a GMT function could possibly fit with the right caseback.

The bracelet is marked 70216 at the end links are marked 455B. I also like this bracelet is that it’s generic and it has the shorter clasp like The original GMT. One thing to note about the Davosa Vintage Diver Is the incredibly Glossy dial and lack of text. The glossy dial is really difficult to photograph properly Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I’m sure someone can make something work but is it worth it? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

You need a more domed case back a-la original as it’s quite flat being a quartz. The ETA 2893-2 might be a bit thick.... I have to say it wears really nice on the oyster and honestly, it’s ok for me that it’s not an auto. Plus its a homage, not a replica....none of them look right. That’s how this thread started, right? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Here’s mine. Originally I got the black because I got a big discount, then ordered the Pepsi and also a blue insert. Still cheaper than full price. When I got it, I added the an oyster bracelet and end links I had...perfect fit. Mid-case is spot on (thin) and the CGs are cool too. 120 click bezel (would prefer bi-direct) and thin. No cyclops, Tudor-style dial with aged lume (a bit too much IMO). Wear it all the time.... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -

Great advice by long time members who have had past experiences to reflect on. I too really want this watch to be the real-deal (ok, a replicated one) but alas, it’s probably not. If it existed, a trusted dealer would have one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

But if someone starts making them, let us know. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
