My kind of set.... That was the military diver's equipment, at that time... Best, Nicolas ...

That’s quite a collection; forgive the pun!

Quite a collection! You would think they would use rubber straps back then. I can only surmise the effect of seawater and leather

That's the charm and the magic of these tools and watches.

Interesting they used leather, indeed. What an exciting time back then!

Well, at that time, there was not much more to choose.

That wrist compass is also beyond cool! Thanks for sharing this.

The only drawback is that is enormous...

What is that tool in the middle with the black sheath?

By: ArmisE : December 27th, 2020-16:28

I can’t tell if it’s a pressure gauge of some sort, or a wrench, or a knife? Or all three in one? Thanks.

A knife.

A rerelease of that set

By: dhendolan : December 27th, 2020-16:33

Manufactured with fully modern materials and tolerances, would be quite attractive. I'm certain it would sell well if they didn't go too crazy with the price.

I would be in.

I'm thinking of a flashlight that looks identical

By: dhendolan : December 27th, 2020-16:35

Made with tight tolerances from titanium, stainless, sapphire, LED and Lithium ion batteries. Ditto for the compass and depth guage. Those would be great.
