By-Tor Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Not referring to the watch looks in that case but to the name and function. Not that it's the only one though. I just picked it up "randomly". "Sky Dweller". Yeah right. Read Explorer II function... "tool watch", yeah. Let's be honest... GMT is cool, a basic dive watch is cool, chonograph is cool... but rest of these "functions" are nothing but pretentious bullshit. The watch is powered by a 26-jewel, caliber 1575 movement, and features a number of characteristics aimed specifically at cave exploring. Among these are a date function, a stationary bezel with 24-markings, a 100 meters depth rating, and a large, brightly colored 24-hour hand. The idea behind these features was to provide a watch for speleologists, who Rolex claimed, “soon lose all notion of time: morning, afternoon, day, or night.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sogeha Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 As customs go, that's rather nice @Nanuq. Got any info on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 @Sogeha, I took that one off a dead guy down in Tuntutuliaq so I have no idea its provenance. I think it's safe to say it was spotty at best. But the idea of a contemporary dial with gold surrounds, combined with that cheeky triple red ink, all in a NCG case... it was too edgy, too... daring to pass up.I toyed with the idea of turning it into a Milgauss, and ultimately gave it away to a guy that told me the name of an antelope. Long story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 My God!!!!!!!!!! Right there, in the flesh..... I've heard the rumors but discarded them as nothing more than schoolboy fantasies. A 5-liner black dial Yacht-tona? I would have scoffed that you were joking, but the photographic proof is indisputable. All Hail the Yacht-tona! Your Great-grandfather was a man of means and discernment. Thank you for sharing! Sorry, I'm feeling a bit emotional........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm open for trades. Send me $5K to my Swiss bank account and that 1675 and you'll get the Yacht-tuna. Ah well... let's be generous among friends and let's make it $6K. Waddya say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 You mean this nasty old beat up 1675? No way... I can't take advantage of an old friend like that. The Yacht-Tona is irreplaceable and almost infinitely valuable. My 1675? Not so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
