Since you mentioned Cousteau, Cap, here's one of . . .
. . . his Doxas.
It belongs to an acquaintance who was a USN, and later commercial, diver. One of Jacques' sons gave it to him; I took the photo ~ 2010 while it was on his wrist.

Ok, divers! Let's rock 'n roll . . .
. . . with our favorite dive watches. And if you don't have one - I didn't for years! - share the diver you'd like to own. A few years ago one of our community members, Kevster, said in a somber tone, "Every man needs a chronograph." Instantly I knew he w...
Muchas gracias Michael!! So beautiful! It deserves to be shown…
… on surface!! Cheers! Abel
My project
Shot today The glass before I cleaned it up. A 1950’s/1960’s Avalon chronograph/ Diver looks to be a Valjoux 7730 I’ve got it working but need to get the winders to move the minute hand forward (I can only set backwards). I did clean up the crown and it’s...
I don't have the guts to work on my watches - kudos for moving up . . .
. . . to the next level of watch appreciation. 👍
Thanks Cap.
Thank you internet. I knew it was an ETA Valjoux and was able to match it to the 7730. I’ve watched the disassembly video but mostly to get out the winding stem (it’s pre button) as I diagnosed the setting problem as a crown that needs to be tightened dow...
Art, neither of which can I remember.
Refernce number 16610 rings a bell, but blank on the purchase date.
And I thought 3 divers in rotation was plenty
11 for you, and superbly chosen Mark! 👍🏻🌊
You are too kind Mark!
You have an unbelievably stacked rotation that would make any enthusiast envious! 👍🏻
Some cool divers! All work well with coffee:)
Really like your Seiko sla017 - one I really should have pulled the trigger on! Cheers JML
I actually missed the boat on the SLA017.
This is their SJE093, which may be still available!🥂
Aren’t they a tad large…
To be espressi? 😉 Fabulous shots - and the watches would all survive a spill without breaking a sweat 👌🏻👍🏻🤿
I call this post “ Contemplation “

Thanks Kurt, trying to bring my own sensibility to this awesome forum.
my wife is the real surfer , I bought that little sculpture for her and it Freaks her out…kinda funny
Hey, that's my high school buddy, Surfer Joe! . . .
. . . I always wondered what happened to him ;-) . . .
Hello Larry! Great shots and watches. I feel your surfer is looking these superb dive watches options and thinking in taking some scuba classes to put them in use. Love the statuette!
Keep enjoying and loving your dive watch collection! Hagwe, Abel
Various dive watches
Germano&Walter Richard Mille Eska Breitling Nivada Tudor Ulysse Nardin ZRC Panerai Blancpain ...
Just in case anyone's wondering, no, Brauner did . . .
. . . not suggest this theme. I did that all by myself. ...
Hello Brauner! Superb selection of dive watches you share here. I specially liked the Germano & Walter watch. A very impressive presence on the wrist!!
I´m happy to know that you own an U/N dive watch. I find mine a lovely watch with a vintage look I like so much. Keep enjoying your awesome dive watches! Best, Abel
Thank you Abel.
The U/N is a bit vintage but very nice. The Germano & Walter I could get some weeks ago. I think it is the last T-500 they produced. Very heavy and rough.
My pleasure Brauner. The G&W is stunning. I had never heard about it before but you inspired me to search in the web and found some interesting info.
It looks heavy and super strong. Enjoy it so much! Best cordial regards, Abel
This is my monster diver, deepsea.
I newly acquired the tudor, which i would like to posr here as well... ...
Hello @lberti! The DSSD is a real Sea Monster.
And the James Cameron gradient blue dial is awesome. A big watch for sure and an impressive presence on the wrist. Looks great on your wrist. Mine says Hello and Hagwe! Abel ...
You are welcome dear @lberti. Mine is the first generation version. Actually this my second DSSD as the first one was a black dial one which I gifted to my son almost unused.
Then I fell in love with this version dial and bought it. Looks like yours is the later version with a wider bracelet at the lugs isn´t it? Keep enjoying yours so much! Hagwe, Abel
