Dear friends It has been long and cold winter. Luckily it has come to end finally (at least in this part of Globe) so it is time to start...... Over the years it was hard not to notice that lot of PuristS enjoy sea and seaside. There has been many marvelo...  

The UN Boat: But there are others which come to my tortured mind: And another one which should speak to you: ;) Best, Nikurac. ...  

well winning shot too early in thread... last picture speaks volumes to me.. ahhhh... the good old times... Yours Damjan

...but no the ship, the other one...

or Cousteau's ... :p I particularly like the Nato AND the little static water drop taken during the shot! Cheers Nicolas, Mark

Your second pic is a killer! :) Next time it should be in a cockpit of a PanAm plane...! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

Wish I was near the sea but ...... Meetings all Friday and all weekend ! So had to go dreSEA ! LOL Going with Chinese Horology this weekend ! ...  

i've got one, but i've never seen an original one. where are they all? G

but a valid one. I'd be surprised any survived till this day, perhaps in the Tianjin Factory Watch Museum. It will be quite a feat to lay your hands on a original piece. But hey its 1963 ! Worn Year ! Or is that expoanded to +/- 1 yr now ;)

No expansion, its just one of those bargain watches i took a liking too. Knowing that the chinese bought the venus production equipment makes it more interesting as it is really a venus 170(?) a movement you wont find in anything else without searching ha... 

. . . this was coming! :-) Sorry, Damjan - no proper dive watches here, only this vintage Seamaster . . . . . . albeit with a most interesting tale to tell. ...  

you are... ;) moreover word only had it's biggest understatement in context of your vintage Seamaster Wishing you all 3 bank shots this weekend I remain yours...

Maybe the Red Sea...? ;) But I was fortunet to meet a friend this week that brought his Reverso Red! Never saw it in real until this week - WOW! Even better that in pics! Guess I am in trouble now... Not really sure if I should thank him or curse him...?!...  

because water is coming to mouth every time I see WS of it :) Explorer in sand is so cool but you should reload it ;) Cheers my friend Hope to see you on my seaside once Damjan

This is what happens to a JLC freak when meeting up with a Rolex Moderator! ;) Best Blomman ...  

specially if they are for me ;) Best my friend Damjan

Or in his case - King of Black! ;) Best Blomman

The red dial version is a watch I would consider. Looks superb! GEO

After seeing this one in person... My wish list has been re-arranged! :) Best Blomman

my antipodean friend for making this thread what it should be...a cool thread... although I think that Kermit would fit better rubber glove for glass scrubbing ;) Cheer D

Being 100 km (62 miles) from the ocean. The shell traveled a bit more: 12772 km (7937 miles) from here to the Persian Gulf (Dubai). My wife and I got this shell in Dubai during a short stay there long time ago (2007). The watch is my very sturdy (and pede...

Thank you for input Best Damjan

and you cant go far wrong with an Omega :) best G

...although this was a very land-based event... ...  

...  

I am in the wrong industry. At least one of us is warm!

Today I was as cold as you, in Beijing... :(

But still a bit too cold in Europe. ...  

It was a fun shot to do, while the watch was indeed in the water, it was not easy to keep the camera dry. Thanks for looking! GEO

Best, Laurent ...  

I take the wonder watch. Cheers, Nilo

for the nice joke ;-) Best, L ...  

Another legend from the deep from late 1967 / 1968. A model that collaborated with Rolex on friendly terms. 300 meter 1000 feet T "Taucher" A lot to be said about this one but you will have to do a little research until I have a chance to write a full exp...  

I will read you with a lot of interest... As you know, I am big fan of vintage diving watches, but I know quite onthing about these Doxas! Best, Nicolas.

...  

This is not an original just a photo. You have to contact the book owner who will write you a letter of confirmation. The book stays with him. The conquistador is not MN. but Doxa was used a lot in MN thanks to the popularity of Cousteau. a+ Bill

Its just nice to see that some lucky persons are getting the sun :) Up until this week, the only thing that was peeling off my skin was ice! LOL ;) Everybody HAGWE :)

The hard core divers. Cousteau below wearing the Doxa 300t with Black face and no decompression bezel. Bill ...  

. . . Doxa, gifted to an acquaintance (and, not incidentally, a retired US Navy diver) . . . . . . by Cousteau's son . . . ...  

I will post the same model but not as abused. Great looking nice history. Best Bill

Hi art Here is the same model just a little cleaner. Best Bill Doxa 300T searambler from 1968 ...

... not like the Sea... ...Like the Sky! Best Doug ...  

Very nice vintage. Bill

A real tool watch this Airman. ...  

too difficult to date exactly, but i have identified the model made from 64-67 and am looking at 2 of them. i've owned one before, but as usual i let it go. Great watches G

I wish you to find her as soon as possible ! Best Doug

Well there are 2 of them available. 1 seller i dont trust too much. Too many listed, bid on then auctions ended early only to find them listed again. A dealer after a big price. The other, not quite as good condition, but honest. What i like about the Gly... 

You know I love this theme. Best Bill ...  

A couple of icons in their correct settings. If the weather stays nice i'll take some dive watches down to the beach this weekend and do some more up to date pics. lets prey for some sunshine. G. ...  

rarely seen and not a huge amount of information, but i did post it last year. G. ...  

Was it a screw down crown? Just curious to learn more as there is not much out there. I do have a watch dive review from the the mid 60's I need to dig out and see what there is to learn about OW. Thanks Bill ...  

Thanks Bill, Its a screwdown crown, screwdown very thick plexi, monocoque case. I think i sent you some details last year when i did the post. Jenny got the patent, but had no manufacturing facility so O&W made them for Jenny, Philip and themselves. There...

Thanks Matt, very hard to photograph due to the 8mm plexi, but worth the effort. G On 19 Apr 2013 10:12, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* MattS (registered) on April 19th, 2013 - 02:12 > > *Title: that's a cool one Graham! ... 

The Submariner Museum a couple of years ago and it was lovely to find yourself inside an old WW2 Sub. Things must have been pretty hairy being inside one of them when they were under attack!! Love the suit, perhaps you could wear it out on a Saturday nigh... 

Its a great museum, but we also have the explosion museum(naval weapons) and a dive museum which i have yet to go too. If weather is as good sunday morning as it is today then i have something special lined up so watch this space. G On 19 Apr 2013 12:39, ... 

Looks like something from a sci-fi movie! :) Best Blomman
