Dive Watches

I know it's the dive watch thread..but that an otf there? details? looks pretty darn awesome. thank ya Sir.
Vallotton Viper, predates the Microtech single action OTFs.
 
I bought this one last fall. I already have one Deep Blue, more of a tool watch style, and wanted another one. I like to wear them when I'm out camping because they are so legible at any time of night. I wear some old Luminox every night while I'm at home but the small old tubes are not very bright, the wide flat tubes of the Deep Blue are very much brighter. This new one has a Seiko NH35 in it which I've had some problems with, I may just send it out and have the entire movement switched out. I think this is about 45mm diameter and the case is thicker than it needs to be so all of that combines to make it fairly heavy, right at my limit for weight. I may switch it to an oyster bracelet which I think would handle the weight a little better.

cricketdave cricketdave : Doxa and that Ocean 7! You and I have similar tastes (although I haven't managed to get either of those).
I WILL likely have a Doxa in the next year or so. I got on a tear recently with Seiko Turtles (I have a bit of a weakness for those), but I'm done now. I picked up a SRPH57, and that has definitely scratched that itch to its end.

I wore a king turtle today, they are nice watches, Doxa watches are spectacular one of my favorite brands.

DOXA are very nice. I wish I had a vintage one. This is my only DOXA, if you don't count my Aquadive that is also owned by Synchron like DOXA. I have the beads of rice bracelets for both of these. I think Synchron also owns ISOfrane watch straps.

My King Turtle has been in the watch shop for quite a while waiting on a new movement under warranty. very frustrating...

synchron doesn't own doxa anymore, back to the Jenny family now. The diving star is on my list of next to buy, I love that yellow dial.

Those look fantastic {drools}. Also, great pics!

Is the Aquadive a GMT?

Those are NICE Doxas! And the King Turtle! Shame about the Turtle movement. I suppose it was outside the adjustment specs? Or did it die?
