WristScan

. . . 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...

. . . and glad to see happy hour was not wasted ;-) . . .

Mermaids ?

I can't tell the story as it turns out. I was unsubtly reminded of a NDA I signed.

Arequipa; Lake Titicaca; cinchona bark; and Calcutta. And EIC. sorry. I'll be sued.

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. ...  

. . . 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.

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 😀 ...  

. . . yours would be the one. ;-) . . .

14060 Happy Weekend to all, Alex ...  

. . . you must be on vacation. Whereabouts, Alex?

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

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

So many beautiful places to discover one is only left wishing for more time and opportunities to enjoy them. Abrazo, hermano! Alejandro

... 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.

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 ... 

... 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... 

Looks great in your environment...or any other!

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. ...  

. . . and I don't even have a diver!

Since I'm PADI trained, I may be just a little biased.

The blue of the dial is superb & the contrasting minute hand is a winner. Cheers JML

. . . when it comes to rubble for the ruble, that's for sure! ;-)

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...  

. . . are in pool halls. Btw, how far away is the shark in your second photo? I'd be swimming back to the boat! Art

... 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

Doxa Orange dial is very cool

I'm old school and though I dive a computer, a watch is NEVER truly obsolete.

at the moment my companion on my way to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. ...  

But yes will send

and have a blast 🍻

. . . first the Seychelles, now Papua New Guinea? . . .
