Firstly, your opinion as a diver and a long term collector is invaluable in this conversation so thank you for sharing your thoughts on this subject.
As I said in my opening post, the Rolex Submariner is and was my idea of the ultimate tool watch. My definition was a watch that I could dive with during the day, game of beach volleyball late afternoon, shower and then arrive for a cocktail with Ursula Andress and then dinner all with the same watch on my wrist … Still looking appropriate !
Alternative's to the Submariner that I have tested recently are the following:
The Bianchi - Scores well on most of the criteria but slipping when we get to the cocktail hour..,
Omega Seamaster - Scores well with the diving, 300m Co-Axal chronometer and anti-magnetic.
Still works after beach volleyball and even withstood a hefty cocktail hour …
Synchron Military could be a contender especially if used for night diving and a black tie evening dinner
…
Tudor MN21 - Very capable and scored well in the water but less so in the cocktail bar, ultimately failing in the Ursula Andress round of this competition
!
The Rolex Sub probably still holds the best overall score in this competition !
