On the 4 first pictures they are / were all mine. On the last picture, the ones which were not mine are the US NAVY, the Lip Blancpain on the left, and the second Pakistani Milspec ( bottom left ).
So, they are not all mine, sadly. And I let a few go to fund others...

The Dive Watch session of Wrist Scan . . .
. . . is now underway. (And not a moment too soon for Padj!) Divers: love 'em, never had one. For me, they're in the same category as chronos and military - watches that trigger machismo . Just about everyone likes divers, even though only a fraction of u...
A sharkhunter by another name, I take it! . . .
. . . and glad to see happy hour was not wasted ;-) . . .
No.
I can't tell the story as it turns out. I was unsubtly reminded of a NDA I signed.
I am bound not to tell about The Hudson Bay;
Arequipa; Lake Titicaca; cinchona bark; and Calcutta. And EIC. sorry. I'll be sued.
Wow!
What a provenance, Art! I was a bit late to the (vintage diver) game, but have collected more than a few over the years. My favorite is this Favre Leuba. Cheers, Tony C. ...
I thought that would be an attention grabber! . . .
. . . although, if my recollection is correct, the background story has a sad tinge. Jean Michel gifted the Doxa to Bobby after he parted ways with his renowned father, possibly implying he no longer wanted it.
Very cool history Art. Thank you for sharing.
My experience in the world of vintage is time stamped, so my contribution here limited. However, I do have a special Submersible that was purchased years ago and will never leave the collection. A special La Bomba to me 😀 ...
If any watch deserved its own soundtrack . . .
. . . yours would be the one. ;-) . . .
I have enjoyed a few dives and adventures with Old Faithful...
14060 Happy Weekend to all, Alex ...
This was taken a while back, Art, indeed while on holidays...
It´s a cenote called Jardín del Edén, located between Tulum and Playa del Carmen in the Mayan Riviera. By looking at those pictures, I am just dreaming of going back soon. Hoping all is well in your neck of the woods, Art, Alex
Something for everybody at this cenote, Bill...
Hard core cave diving, free diving, and recreational swimming are all to be had in the great spot in the Mayan riviera. Maybe next time I will engage in all 3! All the best, Alex
Gracias, Nico!
So many beautiful places to discover one is only left wishing for more time and opportunities to enjoy them. Abrazo, hermano! Alejandro
Wow mi amigo Alex! A 14060 is a good choice for diving indeed!! Where is this place: transparent waters and double tank rigs ...
... make for an interesting dive anywere!! May be a xenote dive nearby? The double rigs would explain it as safety meassure in cave diving. Tell us more please! Great shots and great diving companion on your wrist! Buen fin de semana mi amigo! Abel.
Thank you for your kind comments, Abel
It is always a pleasure to read you! Yes, you are correct. Picture was taken at a cenote called Jadín del Edén south of Playa del Carmen. Water was cool, the day sunny, and the experience fantastic! I did not partake in cave diving during this visit, but ...
Muchas gracias Alejandro por tus explicaciones! El placer es mio de leerte y comentar tus posts! ...
... Scuba diving in Mexico offers some thrilling experiences indeed. People is very nice and places are terrific. I had the chance of visiting Mexico several times, diving in Cozumel, Cancun, Acapulco, etc.. Waters and sea life are superb in the Mexican C...
One of my favourites for the weekends
Even though the deepest I've ever gone with it is only the bottom of a swimming pool! Great fun on the wrist, and I just love that blue dial. ...
You found my sweet spot for Seiko divers!
Since I'm PADI trained, I may be just a little biased.
For bang per buck - its an absolute winner
The blue of the dial is superb & the contrasting minute hand is a winner. Cheers JML
Can't beat Seiko . . .
. . . when it comes to rubble for the ruble, that's for sure! ;-)
I love dive watches but do want to bore you too much
Here are some live action dive watches while diving. A nice old Vintage Seiko 6105 that has no fear of depth. Vintage and diving don't usually mix. Trusty old Rolex 16660 the Triple 6 loves the ocean. This is the Doxa 50th Anniversary re edition Professio...
The only sharks I ever come across . . .
. . . are in pool halls. Btw, how far away is the shark in your second photo? I'd be swimming back to the boat! Art
Dive water en su salsa!! Wonderful shots of marvelous watches doing their intended job!! I was expecting these photographs dear Bill! How to ...
... get bored of viewing them?? I specially love to view vintage watches being actually used underwater!! Lovely! Thank you for sharing these great pictures!! All the best dear Bill! Abel
I love seeing dive watches...diving!
I'm old school and though I dive a computer, a watch is NEVER truly obsolete.
Here my ZRC Grands Fonds 300
at the moment my companion on my way to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. ...
Old divers
Hi all Sharing some pics of a very enjoyable meeting along the shores of lake Leman this week with another enthusiast... Matt ...
Thanks Nico
The Tornek is not mine. I suppose the bezel has been restored "all black"
Thanks for not putting one on the wrist.
You saved at least one category for the rest of us.
