I can never get enough of these old divers. 


And boy oh boy has this one seen some serious action. No plans to do any restoration. This one is like Abel’s which has a uniform patina on the index markers. My other one had a different hue on 3 6 9 and 12.

... my example which I got last February. These old diving watches have such a string personality!! I agree with you that it is better to leave them as found with those marks which speak of an adventurous past life. Most of these watches were used as they...  

The Cousteau era was a special time ...

Such lollipop markers!

That was the time when you really needed a watch for diving. And it was the time when dive watches didn't cost you the price of a compact car, even those from today's luxury manufacturers. You just paid for what was apparently the best tool.
