To be more precise, the issue is that with the original Deep Sea Alarm, you can't swim, likeother Vintage watch.

And as for the Tribute, you can have some water activities, but it cannot compete ( does it have to, by the way? ) in terms of soul, as it didn't have the weighof the time passing, being a new watch.

So how can we solve this dilemma?

The answer is very simple: Getting both is THE solution.

you can always enjoy the Vintage when you don't have to swim, and you can bring the Tribute when you plan some water activities.

The demonstration by the pictures:

The Vintage:



In all its beauty, here:



The Tribute, just after a good swim:



Drying under the strong Croatian Sun:



And resting after all these efforts on some pebbles:



We often smile when we read that the best is to get both, when trying to decide between one or another watch, but in this case, it is so true!

No more fear nor frustration, just pleasure!

...often the best and worst advice offered on this forum.  ;-)

But you are right, you have foudn the perfect solution.  No one has to tell you to enjoy your watches, my firend.

No wonder why they are so captivating, they are.

For different reasons: The Two Vintage have a lot of soul. The Tribute is fearless.

Thanks for your input, Respo.

Thanks for the share (and the idea) Nicolas.

...back in the days my challenge was which one to wear, the European or the US DSA.

Fund a perfect solution: sold both! Haha.

If only one could find the original DSA...

Glad to see you and the DSA's enjoying some sun .

All the best,

Alex

But it can happen. It is a question of patience.

Don't forget that on the circa 1000 made, it is said that maye 800 were in this US version!

The truth is also that these Vintage DSA are most often kept by the collectors who own them... Too.

Best, my dear friend.

A good life indeed and the pics. says it all. I need to visit Croatia one day.

I think I'll wear my Euro Tribute today after seeing this post. BTW does the tribute come with curved pins? I'm still on the OEM strap.

Cheers & looking forward to the Polaris post!

I feel more confident and secure with bigger straight bars. ( You'll need 20 mm bars, by the way ).

Yes, my friend, these are watches to enjoy!

Not sure if I should do it myself or take it to the AD. Is it tough to remove the original ones?

And train on a Rolex, first.
