Deep Diver 7897 – one reference, four versions
Friends,
We all know that once we start to look more closely on a watch we love we find reasons to get more than one of the same…
Here is an example the Deep Diver 7897: four different versions.
OK one is not mine but it is just a matter of time before I find one…
Days, months, years…. Doesn’t matter, sooner or later I will find the one I miss!
(BTW, these are the four versions I have found so far, not sure if more exists)
Have a great weekend and please don’t forget to join our WristScan – this Friday the theme is crowns!
