More divers. I like that Sector DT1000. Have gotten hooked on the Oris TT1 Master Diver, probably the best Ti bracelet around. And here's some others that are attractive:

1) Oris TT1 Master Diver (titanium)

5) AngularMomentum Illum/V (actually a GMT)

6) Invicta Lupah Diver (less expensive end of the spectrum)

7) Leonard Swiss (not a diver, but cool dome profile)

Since I haven't owned any of these watches, would be interested to hear from anyone who has, and what their thoughts were... good or bad.

i looooooove dive watches, especially the dreadnought. tough to get one, as there where only 200 made, sold out almost instantly. german watchmaker Jacques Etoile offer a very similar model, pretty much a copy of the dreadnought. sells for around 1,800 USD.

my favorite is currently the Rasmus by Nautische Instrumente Mühle Glashütte:

I love diving watches. Only problem is there are far too many out there that I want to add to my collection.

With the introduction of wrist size dive computers, the future of proper diving watches is more than dubious. PAM, Sub, Seamaster are all produced for the wrist of the rich and will never see the bottom of the sea.

A flair of ridiculous (like in 4x4 cars) is sneaking in

My trio of seiko`s

Some of dive watches available now are stunning but I think I could only

justify the money if I was diving profesionally,

ie treating the watch as a tool required to do the job rather than

an expensive fashion accessory.

Not that I would say no if one was to drop into my lap :lol:

Great thread, surprised more members have`nt posted here though

I appear to be winning too many Seiko divers watches on ebay, so may have to offload a couple here soon. :D

Looking forward to your selection

Some day, this 300gram+, 12000 foot rated Swiss Millitary Diver will be mine!!!!!!!

http://www.rruegger.ch/cx_swiss_military_1...mages_large.htm

That thing is sweet looking and no one can't say it's not a real dive watch. I know I'll never got 12000' below the water, I rarely hit 120'. :) I didn't see a model number or anything, so I can't find a price, but I'll keep looking. :)

Speaking of deep dives and tool watches, I have a friend who was a commercial diver for 20 years and taught diving. He wore a 1665 Sea-dweller for all that work, and said his deepest ever was 1,800 feet. Right to the limit of what a 1665 is rated for.

He said he's seen a domed plexi crystal crush under too much pressure at depth and it's a spectacular thing. A micro-explosion, or more correctly, implosion. CRACK and it's all over. :o

At that depth he was in an Atmospheric Diving Suit though, right? Would his watch even need to be rated to paddling pool depth?

There are a few fugly watches I'm sure we'd all like to receive the full micro-implosion experience! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

My problem with expensive watches and diving is simply the expense. If it gets bashed or it falls off underwater (my tank fell off once without me noticing - I just looked around and assumed that my dive buddy was epileptic), it's really expensive. And everyone is using their dive computer for essential tasks these days anyway.

That said, I know some folk do wear expensive watches for scuba diving - it's just a bit risky for my tastes. (I just wouldn't want to be worrying about it the whole time).
