Deep Sea Alarm, the finest vintage diving watch? In the universe of vintage diving watches, there are some holy monsters. Some are cool, some are nice, some others are original, or technical, but few of them are what we can call fine. I am strongly convin...
is growing on me. Lot of charm. For sur the Polaris in my humble opinion is above the other, but I can deny the charm of all of them. The Longines is really really cool too.
