collectible, I don't know, but it is a pointless watch, functionwise

Nowadays, people don't really buy watches for practical reasons / functional qualities.

This watch is completely pointless from a functional point of view - as are 90% of all the so-called "divers watches" priced above 2000$ IMHO.

The watch has absolutely no practical use for diving (as pointed by others already), and its size (which could be justified IF the watch had a practical functionality), makes it inpromer for everyday use - be it casual or formal.

Not to mention the 2nd timezone is useless and distracting in the context of a so-called diving watch.

That being said, I don't think you should not buy the watch if its look and marketing appeals to you (we buy watches mostly for the fun it gives us), but if you are looking for any rational to buy it, I afraid there aren't many !

Bottom line: Buy it if you like it, and if you don't care of wearing a really oversized watch with no purpose in every day life....

After all, life is about having fun, and there are people out ther buying Hummers to drive in only town, so, why not......

I reverse the question:

What do you think of it? Are you mad about it? Much interested y it? You should, indeed. All I can say, but this is my personal opinion, is that the Amvox II, DBS or not, is a very original Chrono, because of the lack of the pushers, and becasue of its ve...

What could be better?

I agree totally with what Nicolas and David have said above. Collectibility and value retention should not be a question for such a watch. There are now a number of versions of the AMVOX2, and a relatively large number of pieces in the collection, so that...

No, no Respo...

I am more passionate about the DBS than you are, although I have nothing whatsoever to base this opinion on!! I have shifted from EWC to Amvox 2 recently, question is which one to set my sights on. I recently tried the A2 in titanium and the black version...

Ok, friendly competition

Let's see who among us gets one first. One time I got to try on a prototype of the A2 DBS (not for sale), and I almost ran out of the store with it. And I foolishly passed on one offered by my AD due to bad timing. I intend not to repeat that mistake. Goo...

I gotta admit I'm a sucker for the DBS

Forgive me but I'm relatively new here and this is my first attempt at taking and posting pictures...Clearly I have a long way to go to get to the caliber of the pros here. Such a great watch, Dave...

I really like this watch. Oh the car ain't bad either. Section View of DBS...

Well, after a good service, certainly YES. :)))
