georgegrasser Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Life is funny huh. If I were given that watch, I would throw it away. If I had to wear it everyday of my life and were not permitted to wear another watch, I'd blow my head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Lani- Nice pick-up but you are a mad man. And someday when you get tired of those Doxa's I'll be there. Just ask Ubi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this "mishigas" from one who has more projects than NASA and National Geographic combined.. He who has enough parts and watches up North to open a jewelry store, maybe 2 even.. I hear "your" bin takes up 90% of the safe. but the jury has already convened, and yes.. I am MAD , after all, we are on the same page .. Nice one R! Thats a pretty exclusive club you just joined.

offshore Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 In in ?? Me? Nah, I wish! I do remember in the early days, when I was operating a dive shop, that the US Divers reps were frugally handing these out to their better accounts! Unfortunately I wasn't on that list.

Nanuq Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Sorry for chiming in late, I'm just back from the gym! (yes I want to be like Lani) That's a looker for sure! The replacement crown looks great, it's easy to paint the bezel, an aftermarket Beads bracelet is likely smarter than an original wimpy one, and you ought to be able to work through the GS catalog and find a replacement crystal for it. What a score! With the "sailboat" back... a GORGEOUS "USD" Pro. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Great pick up Lani! It's a beauty! A little TLC and it will be good as new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I do remember in the early days, when I was operating a dive shop, that the US Divers reps were frugally handing these out to their better accounts! My friend that died a couple weekends ago... he helped start up SeaLab (Man in the Sea) off La Jolla and as a thank-you for all his work Doxa gave him a USD Pro just like this one. These are a piece of dive history for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident that I can restore the crystal.. good enough to leave some character with the History of the watch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Lani, If you can locate a specific GS number you need, (or model X dia), let me know it. I have around 20,000 GS crystals sitting here. O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
