Never met a UTS I didn't like...

As far as tool divers go, UTS competes with the best of the best, IMO. From your list, I own two Rolexes (a 16800 matte-dial and DSSD), GO (Sport Evo GMT) and Kobold (stainless steel SEAL), and in no way, shape or form does my UTS 3000M suffer in comparison. In fact, as far as divers go, it's my favorite, besting such pieces as the JLC NSA Incursion and MCDC, PAM 243, Seiko "Emperor" Tuna, and the Eterna KonTiki Concept Diver. True, the 3000M and 1000M v2 GMT are different watches, but one thing that's a constant with UTS is the build quality and craftsmanship that Herr Spinner exhibits with each watch that he single-handedly designs, machines and assembles in his shop in Munich.

(Boy, do I regret selling my 600M...)

Anyway, I wouldn't trade your 1000M for any of the divers you've listed above, though I will say that the Sinn U1000 chronograph and Bremont Supermarine 500 are both watches that I'm looking to add to my collection down the road.

Regards,
Adam

My Dive Watch Quest

By: db darien : September 19th, 2010-14:08

While most of my collection is pretty much set, I've always been on a somewhat quixotic quest for the "perfect mechanical dive watch". It has taken me through Seiko, Rolex, several Omega Seamasters and Planet Oceans, Ball and Glashutte Original. These day...

Congratulations, 300 posts.

I love my diving watches but am not really interested about watches with ETA movement. However, I think that LLD is the diving watch with the best value for the money if one appreciates the history of the watch and that the Sinn diving watches (U1 & U...

seems to be a popular dive watch, or is this too common as well? I know nothing about the movement, but it is an attractive watch. The watch you are showing is very nice: great pictures. My only differing comment is that I prefer a fabric or rubber strap,...

It comes with a rubber strap. I just don't use it. [nt]

...and have flirted with various models (U1, U2, EZM-3), and figure I'll buy one someday as a fun tooling-around piece, so I have to give a nod to the brand for offering IMO attractive, functional (from reports from trusted WIS), casual watches. I'm not a...
