    What Watch You Are Wearing...Right Now!

    A project of sorts, victim of flooding and neglect, I’ve replaced the movement and looking for a stem and crown but for now it’s running so long as I wear it, can’t wind it or set the time without taking it apart.

    It has a perfect bezel action, as a dive watch, this from a diver not someone who plays with the bezel, it performed perfectly in the water. The bezel never got bumped off of set like looser bezels do, any looser and I would have sold it the same day it arrived.

    My old drysuit had shorter sleeves so I could wear my watch on my wrist below the seal, my new suit has longer sleeves and quick replacement seal system so if I wear it on the wrist it is hidden by the seal rings.

    Good catch Narc'd, something only a cold water diver is likely to notice It's my home made version of the Omega extension offer back in the day. With a drysuit, no regular strap will reach around the suit and all of the insulation I have all of my normal cold use watches on seatbelt type...

    I've had mine on my wrist since I picked it up last Saturday night, looks like it's running at +1 per day. I I have it on Omega mesh with the seat belt clasp, this is what works with my extension so I can wear it on my drysuit, the plan is to dive with it Saturday. I really appreciate the slow...

    I always avoid fedex on international shipments, they are fast and have great tracking but if they screw up the duties they are horrible to work with. Slow mail, registered is very slow but very secure. I don't expect any scans on the tracking number until it hits my post office, they are very...

    That gives me a link to the postal site but I haven't a number to search. Not really an issue other than curiosity, it may not have shipped yet.

    I would prefer a no strap option! Even $5 spent on something I don't want is $5 wasted.

    Congratulation on your son. Prototypes look perfect, if you need someone to run them through the paces as actual dive watches I would be happy to help Also would like to report that the 22mm straps are great, I'm not really a strap fan, abhor nato's but these are actually comfortable and much...

    Looks good so l'm in, blk big triangle date ordered. Still would have preferred a ceramic insert and non drilled lugs (it just looks wrong on this case) those aren't enough for me to skip the deal.

    I would rather they sit on the strap and send it with the watch, why pay $10 for shipping a strap when you can have the whole thing shipped for $10?
