Horological Meandering

I do like divers ! They are fun,robust and perfectly suited for a more active and casual life style (as I have since my retirement...). Although not a real diver myself (just pool diving ...) I enjoy these watches for all of my outdoor activities and when...  

Hope you are enjoying your weekend Gerard. ...  

You can't go wrong with a Rolex Sub.

...  

I may add one of these also to my collection.

...  

Indeed nice selection of divers, and very nice pics too, well done Hagwe

I try to do my best with the pictures !

That Breitling is somehow growing on me 😍

...  

Is that 7 or 8 dive pieces?

Thanks for sharing them!

The hardcore tool watches. Then I have watches that are more for snorkeling. Made for the pool or beach. Cheers. 🍻 Geross. ...  

The Tudor compliments the Rolex perfectly.

All the best, Alex ...  

A couple more Breitlings to add to the mix... Avenger Seawolf: Superocean Heritage Chronograph 44: And, a Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver: ...  

I would welcome any of your three divers in my collection.

But for some reason, I only have one in my collection these days, this 5512. I generally do not regret the watches I end up selling, but the exception would be the Sea-Dweller 16660 I used to own a few years back. I really wish I had kept that one. I real...  

On the last point, if the sporting activities involve exposure to shocks / heavy vibration, then it should really be a quartz watch, no? ;-) On the other hand, if the concern is more about scratches and general wear, then the Sinn is a very good option. B... 

...  

Anyone of these would be a highlight for every collection !!!

I really like the a piece on the 2nd pic, at the top horizontal position - Jaeger label and a big 12 numeral. Which model is this?

French market. Quite a rare one. Early 70's. ...  

I like it so much. I wish JLC releases something like that again. Thanks a lot Nic.

This design is something different, something about this piece screams high auction value!

For $3500 USD on the pre-owned shop.

Beautiful diving watch dear Nicolas!! Gracias por mostrarlo amigo mio!

... to view and read that post soon!! Best! Abel

Versatility, bezel function for cooking pasta aldente, during holidays I love to swim. On the wishlist: a watch I recently discovered. Thoughts? ...  

Especially the Doxa is a favorite of mine.

... you share here!! Never seen the Wempe though. I like it! Cheers! Abel

... but I feel it always happens among the Watch aficionados community that controversy arises with many watches and the inspiration some models may have on others. In any case this Wempe looks very nice and with its own character. As usual best thing is ... 

I've to see it in the metal to decide. Maybe later, because a Wempe store is a 2,5 hr drive by car. Keep you posted when I pull the trigger. Ciao, Bobbe

... of any controversy. It will be interesting to know your own point of view if you decide to get it finally. Good luck with your hunt my friend! Best! Abel

... this is the watch which inspired the design of what we consider a diving watch today) (even if some other brands/models can dispute the title of "the first dive watch" e.g. Blancpai FF or Panerai Radiomir). But your point is a pre buying strategy I al... 

You have very excellent divers and great photos. Here are some of mine. Best regards. ...  

Superb idea for a thread !

... and a great array of diving watches as well!! Best! Abel

Here's one of my favorite modern dive watches. Not much to add or subtract, nothing superfluous in the design - well, save for a few lines too much text on the dial, perhaps. ...  

An iconic design that works, therefore so often copied or borrowed from. Of course the earlier (now vintage) references are even better in this regard, but would not take them for diving any more. : ) Also, really like your JLC divers!

The modern Bathyscape is also cool with its 'luxury' diver vibe. And I quite like that Oris Aquis!

... they are sturdy, reliable and always ready to be used in any conditions and environments. Since the mid 1960’s I’ve been using several of mine for many decades in sport scuba diving even if in my last years of practicing this sport dive computer ruled...  

... so diving watches are some kind of "natural" object of devotion to me. Diving watches are also a most practical type of timepiece in any circumstances... may be with the only exception of a very formal attire event (except if our name is Bond, James B...
