This is a theme which is still " work in progress ", as I have to find a few other pieces, such as a Tudor 7922, a Blancpain 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 Fifty Fathoms Rotomatic Incabloc,  Rolex, 6536, and so on... 

But hey, how can I complain? 





Here we are speaking about vintage divers from the FIFTIES, only. As for the Sixties, it is even worse, I have  more watches to find. 

So, we have two Tudor Big Crowns Ref 7924, a Rolex 5508, a Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm ( the JLC is missing, on the picture, not in the real life ), 2 Blancpain Fifty Fathoms ( Rotomatic Incabloc and Milspec ), the Omega CK 2913/3, and the Breitling Superocean Ref 1004. 

Compared to the Divers from the 60's, they are more elegant, while the divers from the 60's are sometimes more innovative. 

I am working for more than one year on a huge article about vintage divers. I don't know when I will be able to put it on line, but it is a lot of fun, a passionate topic, too. 

Best,

Nicolas

This stuff is what dreams are made of! I was going to give a favorite but I can't, all are so special, great condition and their design so attractive. I am very keen in seeing them in the flesh! That rare bird Breitling is super cool. Congrats mon ami, wear them in the best of health. Cheers, Alex
