Horological Meandering

Let's go very deep and show us your Diving watches which can go 500m or lower... Like the Sea Hawk I, 7100 rated at 500m Or even further with the Sea Hawk III, rated 1000m with helium escape valve. What do you have if you feel like walking the bottom of t...

My Linde Werdelin but thats has only a water resistance of 300m To go to the bottom i will bring the DSSD ...

It would be interesting to see if anyone here has the crazy 5000m version! Cheers, pplater.

I have, but I was stupid and don't do that again. In that kind of depth, I have lost two friends. Best, Kari, DM

In real life a 300 m Submariner or 200 m Tudor is enough even for all technical diving. These top depth ratings are for desk divers. Best, Kari

😀😀

and I agree with you about the sensible max depth. In 40 meters it starts to be dark and there is not much to see excluding wrecks. Best, Kari

which I why I decided I didn't need this watch any longer Cazalea ...  

and indeed, a diving watch is not needed. Like I have said many times in the past, a diving watch is pretty much history and good modern watches like all Rolex, Patek 5711, 5167, etc. are all good for the maximum depths of scuba diving. A watch with 50 me... 

No message body

But still, even a Rolex Oyster would be enough for all of your diving. I took this matter up because it irritates me how non-divers are manipulated with the depth ratings. Furthermore, in real life we rely on dive computer plus all other instruments we ta... 

But I still have a sea dweller and I don’t do saturation diving at all. What can I say.

you probably chose well. Best Kari

If one would have a reason to come fast to the surface from such a depth, it can become the last voyage. Best Kari

yes, this definitely works!

I’ll wear something like this an turn on National Geographic 😉 ...  

...so naturally it's perfect at dishwashing time: Cheers, pplater. ...  

(so they say!) Cheers, pplater. ...  

And not only 1220 meters from the beach! Best, Nicolas ...  

Huge congrats! Now you are really going deep into the GP divers theme... Best Blomman

...  

Although written "For XtreMe condition use" but so far it has met only green but not ocean depth of even 10m ! Cheers ! ...  

But I have 'only' taken it to -284m... so not really pushed it close to its limits! Cheers Andrew ...

This EZM3 has been my daily beater for a couple of years. Rated as a dive watch to 500m, it also has other interesting features: anti-magnetic to 80,000 A/m, argon-filled, copper sulphate moisture absorbing capsule, and low-temp oils good down to -45C/-49...  

very cool Sinn!

... to read with the comments of our friends, specially those who show being experienced divers. In my personal case I started diving with the old two hose Scuba rigs and a depth gauge and my trusty ref 5513 Rolex Submariner on my wrists. My last dive was...
