Four Vintage Diving Watches.

We can take unlilmited examples, but I tried, here, to focuse on the Fifties Diving Watches, which can be considered as the (re ? ) birth of these special timekeepers, as Panerai could well be considered as a Pioneer regarding this topic ( Since 1936 ). A...
Love them all, but...

Nico, Great post and I love them all - particularly the Omega, great job on the restoration - but to be the voice of dissent, is the JLC really a diver's watch? With its non-rotating, ungraduated bezel? In those days you had a your tables and a j-valve on...

Ah, you know me, Nico. I see the DSA as an interesting, robust watch, with (when new) great lume (witness the bezel) for night-time function. Terrific watch, just not to dive with, new or old. So very interested in your new information. But all 4 have the...

....underwater. All the hits and scrapes and dropping happen during packing your gear, getting your gear out of the bag, putting on your gear, hanging around on the boat (optional), climbing back onto the boat (optional!) getting out of your gear, cleanin...
Concerto for Quatuor...

Beautiful quatuor Nico, watches in superlative state!...I think you should take a new shot more directly on top of the watches as this angle doesn't do justice to the Jaeger due to the glass. Do you want to do the same for the 60s and 70s!?..Trio, Quatuor...
Really nice!

What a quartet! Blancpain Ff, Rolex, Omega, JLC... probably, the most representative diver watches brands. Thanks for sharing and congrats for your "repoker de ases" Best, Hermano Emilio
As usual....

Great taste and "magnifique" collection Nico is the strap for JLC also nato? Where did you get the Nato strap for Rolex sub, if you dont mind please PM me, the strap looks elegant IMO thanks, Ed
Thanks, Ed.

On the JLC, the Strap is not a Nato, but a Tropic ( rubber ). I'm sorry, I don't know where the strap on the Rolex comes from, but I will investigate, as it absolutely rules. Best, Nicolas
they all are the same....

WOW, this is an excellent family photo. if you let other lay-person see this pic, i think they would said they look alike. but to us who are watch lovers, especially if you are "vintage" watch lovers, you would definitely know they are representing their ...
A divers treasure ...
By: bimbeano : May 10th, 2010-13:25
My vote goes to the SM300, that thin bezel is just soo sexy ..... The Fifty Fathoms remains the grail amongst vintage divers ... The Rolex .. is Rolex ... .... The JLC looks the most tech of them all ... ... didn't you forget one ??? ... Thanks for this p...
