I've always considered them the antithesis of Panerai. Bulky, with busy dials and only for mucho-macho men. I was a keen diver myself but I've never used a diving watch. I've used a number of diving computers, which I consider a lot more useful under water That being said, I think that "the Swiss", did something very clever, by creating a "professional" Submersible Line and giving the chance to the divers that like to do it with watches. In that sense, they have produced some real..beauties..and your "love" for them it's a proof of the fact that they did a very good job. Keep enjoying your "brutes"
