You always manage to capture the hefty built quality of Omega so well. Just superb. 👌🏻

Very nice watches and pics 👍🏻🌊

I wouldn't necessarily wear a dive watch to get into the water, but it's a solid and reliable watch. Does it feel like it will last longer than other models? Maybe, I haven't actually tested it.

Hi Art and friends ! Divers watches have always had a special place in my heart. As a kid, I always enjoyed watching the exploits of Jacques-Yves Cousteau and the crew of the Calypso on TV and The Bond film “Thunderball” is another vintage favourite. I th...  

First time I have seen you post this one I think. Real nice. 👌🏻

I have keep some surprises for WristScan 😉

However, I seem to like them on other peoples wrist rather than mine. I’ve tried a few and even Mrs Kurt approved on a Luminor. I just haven’t found that connection yet. For now I’ll keep on admiring everyone else’s 😉

And a couple of quite familiar landscapes! 😉

We share the inspiration of our fondness for diving and dive watches: J.Y. Cousteau´s films and Thunderball movie. You share some stunning shots here. I specially love the Doxa emerging from the sea!! And that one of the Bond watch shot too. I enjoyed the... 

If only we had a Time Machine and could travel back to somewhere between1966 and 1976, to spend a day with Cousteau aboard the Calypso.

I wish it could be done my dear friend. That was my dream when I was very young. Cousteau visited our Country several times and I had the opportunity of assisting to one of his conferences. I was very young and he was my absolute hero who I had been follo... 

How disappointing my dear friend. I feel he let himself down by treating you this way. This has happened to me on one memorable occasion when I meet a world famous skier and he acted in a similar manner. Very disappointing and forever memorable. This in c...  

... when meeting Mr. Vescobo was completely different. He must be a very interesting person to know and chat with and I would be delighted to meet him too. Have a nice week ahead my dear friend.

I think I know the place. Northern Spain Costa Brava??

Yes, it’s a beautiful place.

A Roxa? 😁 Superb shots, even if I have to say that the final one is my clear favorite 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Fantastic collection and great shots 👌🏻👍🏻

Thanks.

How much I like this weekend's thread. Thanks Art for making it possible! Well, I used a few watches for diving during my life, from a 6538, which was my father's dive watch, to Swatch Scubas (who remembers them?) through a Submariner 79090... Most are go...  

. . . until now.

. . . but the response is a bit overwhelming. Not to mention gratifying. 🙂

I could not find it! 🙏🏻 ...  

Hello dear friend, Your photos have feel good factor that is captured perfectly. HAGW 🥂

I liked the colour pattern, then I realised it was better for car races!

And we know they get used the way they’re supposed to be.

Beyond its economic value I imagine it had some unforgettable memories. So nice that you can share your diving activities with your family. That´s the best part of diving and diving watches. Keep enjoying that so much. I´m also enjoying this weekend Theme... 

Yes, every man needs a Diver. Or in my case 3 😂 ...  

. . . is deathly afraid of water. That's why it took twenty years before getting a dive watch.

It's the last time I used the rotating bezel. And they're overall more resistant than dress watches!

Happy to partake in this awesome wristscan! Great weekend to all, Alex ...
