Friends,

We all know there is some uncommonly seen Sea-life at the bottom of the ocean.

But I encountered some really strange Sea-creatures at the bottom of Junior’s bath tub!

Just have a look…

An orange crab…

A green crab…

A pink clam…

A blue fish…

And a green, whatever that is!

Hope you all will have a great week and a smile!

Best

Blomman

Key Points from the Discussion

The GP Deep Diver Ref. 8953 is a ladies' diver watch from 1968, with only 500 pieces made. Its 30mm case size, while small for a men's watch, is perfect for a child.
The Deep Diver is an underrated vintage watch, offering a cool look and modern perks while retaining its vintage charm.
The original post features a yellow 'thingy' (watch) that was initially excluded because it was only pictured with a dolphin, adding to the playful theme.
The green-bezeled GP Deep Diver is a favorite among the 'sea creatures' presented.
The 30mm size of the Deep Diver 8953 is deceiving, as it wears larger than expected, but the lack of a larger men's version is a missed opportunity.

A underrated watch, IMO... Cool look, many of the purks of a modern watch, but still play in the vintage field! :) Best Blomman
