Wow it is incredible
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?
Divers ! Who else likes them ?
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...
Thanks Gerard for diving in your chest and let us discover your treasure ;-)
Indeed nice selection of divers, and very nice pics too, well done Hagwe
Here are mine.
The hardcore tool watches. Then I have watches that are more for snorkeling. Made for the pool or beach. Cheers. 🍻 Geross. ...
Divers are all time darlings for me too. Wear them more than most
All the best, Alex ...
Great collection of divers there, Gerard -- and beautifully photographed!
A couple more Breitlings to add to the mix... Avenger Seawolf: Superocean Heritage Chronograph 44: And, a Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver: ...
I guess we like the same style of watches.
I would welcome any of your three divers in my collection.
I love them
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...
Nice, this 5512.
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...
Wow,these pictures are mouthwatering!
Anyone of these would be a highlight for every collection !!!
Wow it is incredible

It is so unique!
I like it so much. I wish JLC releases something like that again. Thanks a lot Nic.
I beg you for a post of this
This design is something different, something about this piece screams high auction value!
That’s rare among rares!! Wow!
Beautiful diving watch dear Nicolas!! Gracias por mostrarlo amigo mio!
That’s an amazing collection dear Nicolas!! Look forward...
... to view and read that post soon!! Best! Abel
Divers, probably my favorite watch, if I have to choose.
Versatility, bezel function for cooking pasta aldente, during holidays I love to swim. On the wishlist: a watch I recently discovered. Thoughts? ...
My favorite type too Bobbe! Great shots and watches...
... you share here!! Never seen the Wempe though. I like it! Cheers! Abel
Thank you so much for your comments about the Wempe diver Bobbe. Interesting to note. Yes, now that you mention this new watch has resemblances to the watches you mention...
... 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 ...
You are right about your observation of the watch community's reactions on some new watches. Because I love divers, this one attracted my attention, maybe because of all the 'style' elements
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
Thank you for your answer and thoughts Bobbe. The Wempe looks very nice and main thing (with this watch or any other) is that you like it enough to jump on it regardless...
... 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
You make an interesting point here Bobbe. (Of course the Submariner epitomizes what a Diver´s watch is. May be I´m biased about the Sub but I feel every one will agree that...
... 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...
Much to like about divers, J !
You have very excellent divers and great photos. Here are some of mine. Best regards. ...
Great photography as usual dear Seeks!! ...
... and a great array of diving watches as well!! Best! Abel
Who *doesn't* like divers? ;-))
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. ...
Agreed!
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!
Your Sea-Dweller as well, it is a real tool watch with its saturation diving capabilities (especially like the 5-digit version).
The modern Bathyscape is also cool with its 'luxury' diver vibe. And I quite like that Oris Aquis!
Hello Jlux!! I also love dive watches! They look cool and...
... 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...
Hello dear Tony! Thanks a lot my friend, you are very kind. Appreciate so much your compliments. Scuba diving and diving history has been a passion since I was very young...
... 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...
