Been kinda looking for a new watch lately and came across this watch. It looks pretty cool IMO, but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with one? I've owned an Officers' Watch for about 6 years with good luck, so I assume it's of equal build quality, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks:thumbup:
 
I bought my ex-wife a Swiss Army Officer's last Christmas, it was a special run done for the tv show SVU which she is addictted to...lol. It has performed flawlessly and I am sure the Dive Master would too, but is is worth the asking price? Not to me it isn't.
 
i have had a couple of cheaper SAK watches and had good luck with them, but i must agree with absintheur when he talks about the price, for that kinda $$ i would rather have a marathon TSAR but nothing wrong w/the divemaster if thats what ya like, i like the orange face 'masters myself FWIW........
 
Don't own one but I've handled a Dive Master at a jewelry shop, first impression is that the quality is on par with a Seamaster, no joke it looks/feels that well made, also has a sapphire crystal and divers extension. For 500 bucks its a heck of a watch and from what I've seen the higher-end Victorinox watch models are better made than the cheaper ones. Honestly you need to see it in person if you haven't internet photos don't do it justice. But I'd spend less money and get an Eco-drive.

On a side note you can pick up an Invicta Diver (I forget the model #) that looks a heck of a lot like a Submariner and is very well made for about 150 bucks.
 
Thanks guys. I've seen them floating around for less than the MSRP and they seemed to be worth looking into.
