Reminiscence of summer
Hi Damjan,
the last few days with more than 20°C have been a nice foretaste of summer after an endless seeming winter in Germany. Currently we are going back to normal, which is more rain, less warmth :-(.
These pics are from our last summer vacation in France which we hope to repeat this september.
I like the wave pattern on the dial and the sandy undulations.
KInd regards

Maritime connection
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...
This one is hard to beat...

one of Chinas great watches.
i've got one, but i've never seen an original one. where are they all? G
Tough Qns
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...
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...
You knew . . .
. . . this was coming! :-) Sorry, Damjan - no proper dive watches here, only this vintage Seamaster . . . . . . albeit with a most interesting tale to tell. ...
Indeed my dear Art...

This one may not have much to do with water...
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...?!...

Thank you ...
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...

Killer Shots once again
Your weekly shots have been weekly staple n inspiration. Thank you.
The most pedestrian watch on the right photograph...
...will look absolutely superb! Great looking watch and incredible shots, Nilo!
Will never be used deeper than 1.6m!
but what the heck, liked the look so much, i got this last week. ...
who cares how deep you go as long as you like whats on your wrist
and you cant go far wrong with an Omega :) best G
Thanks very much gentlemen!
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
Doxa diver Conquistador 300 T
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 am happy to see you exploring such original horological landscapes!
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.
Don't get to excited
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
No need to apologise for the sunburn 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 :)
Cousteau and his whole team

Cousteau's own . . .

i have my eye on a Glycine Airman as we speak.
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
Well there are 2 of...
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...
As i live next to the home of the Royal Navy i'd better do something good
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. ...
and the FIRST 1000m dive watch.
rarely seen and not a huge amount of information, but i did post it last year. G. ...
A fine looking watch
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...
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...

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...
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, ...
