...Lovely watch, though I do prefer the no date. One on the list for sure. When you get it wet, could you check something for me? How easy/difficult is it to adjust the crown underwater/all set up? The screwdown on the bezel crown....don't know what to th...
I suspect..

the crown can only be operated when dry. Surely, it will have water intrusion on adjusting the internal bezel underwater. Therefore, will only adjust it on the boat, before backrolling into a dive. Will definitely take this on my next trip in a few months...
As I recall...

...The IWC Aquatimer, with an internal bezel, is designed to be used underwater to a certain depth and then disconnects after that depth. The disconnect mechanism is based on the pressure on the bezel crown. I can't at the moment recall whether this is to...
Definitely?

What makes you say that? I completely agree that it is probably unwise, but unless the sealing arrangement is understood, it's hard to say. In fact, if it cannot be adjusted wet (not submerged), Longines hasn't thought too deeply about the seals. The orig...

...did you still get al dente spaghetti with the Aquatimer? Thanks for the reply. I think the moisture being forced into the watch will depend on the sealing design (axial or double axial vs face seal). But all good points. My understanding of not using t...

Hello Cookies, I have both the U1 and LLD. These watches are not together with my "collector's watches" but in the equipment bag together with other diving gear. In my opinion the LLD is a nicer watch for every day use but U1 is unbeatable for tough divin...
Woot!

Glad to see you joining the club, Cookies! Kong has been goading me to take my LLD into the water more (I did...briefly.), but I rinsed it off right after I dunked it into the ocean. What can I say? I'm a girl. I love my LLD! You'll love yours! Cheers, Da...

I don't have the specs of the 2 watches on hand, and I am a "soft core" collector, who wont go diving with these watches, but I suspect they will both serve their purposes very well. Sinn is more "robust" looking and arguably is sportier, at least sea-spo...
