Deep Blue watches

[Thrill]

Looking for any feedback on Deep Blue watches. I ordered the AP Chronograph as a birthday gift for myself; it seemed to get good reviews from what I found. Anyone have experiences they want to share? Good, bad or indifferent.

I have this watch

Sun Diver 1k Orange Sunray Dial

1000 Meters AISI 316L stainless steel divers watch

Miyota Japanese 8205 21 Jewel D/D automatic movement,45 Hour Power Reserve,Bilingual weekday (Eng/Spanish)

SAPPHIRE crystal, superluminous filled hands and dial marking

triple o-ring crown and double o-ring case back

Manual helium valve (For Saturation Diving), 316L full solid steel band with Diver extension clasp

Watch width is 46.00mm (crown and extension not measured) Length is 52.50mm, Rotating bezel is 43.00mm Total Height is 14.00mm Weight is 220gm

This watch has taken a little getting used to. It is a little heavier than what I am accustomed as well as a little bigger. I have been wearing it daily now for the past 9 months.
Keeps good time, I lose about 3 minutes per month.
It feels indestructible and is wearing very well, Lume is great and Sapphire crystal is Unblemished.
I have no complaints and would recommend a Deep Blue watch.

That AP Chrono looks like a great watch and a steal at the price.
Best of luck

I used to have an AP Royal Oak chrono. I loved it. Awesome piece of horology. It has a superior movement than more iconic Offshore chrono, as well.

I have the base model T25. The first one quit within days of arrival. Deep Blue quickly and apologetically replaced it, suspecting a bad battery. I have had the replacement for 5 months with no issues. It loses about 5 -8 seconds per month. More importantly for me, I don't plan to ever have another watch without tritium hands.

That is the biggest issue with Tritium watches - not being happy with other watches that don't have tritium.
Every time my Traser goes in for a new battery I go nuts for the week it's away, then wonder why all watches don't have tritium when it comes back

Mine should be here today. I'll post some thoughts later.

Got the AP Chronograph today....pretty impressed so far. Feels solid and fit/finish seem spot on. Size is good for me; don't think I would want anything much bigger.

That looks pretty sweet. Is the face actually textured, or just printed with a textured pattern? Whats the WR? Does the chrono work under water?

Nice looking watch

The face does have slight texturing and the WR is 200m. Not sure about the chrono working under water; haven't tried. I buy watches with chrono more for the looks anyhow.

what is a tachymeter for and how does it work on a watch

 

[rycen]

a tachymeter is used to measure speed when used with the chronograph
