though I'm not a declared fan of SD preferring the Sub, I couldn't resist catching this old warrior which looks like it had spent an interesting hard life with its original owner. This 1980 Mk 1 dial ref 16660 represents the best of two worlds: vintage lo...
... and we can enjoy its great condition as we view it. You say right, mine looks like its original owner really used it as a tool watch! I like to think he was a pro diver, but I must confess couldn´t find any info about him. Most important is that in sp...
What i am always searching is a what that has been kept out of the sun in a safe place vs a what that has been in the sun while it have a lighter or darker tritium. It seems some times the safe queen has darker yellow tritium but it is never consistant wi...

... Yes it looks in much better condition than mine! By coincidence, I am wearing mine today in a new set of vintage type leather straps very similar to yours! I´m just trying different options while I wait for my watchmaker to fix a rivet on the clasp of...
Beautiful 666 with nice patina!! I wait my opportunity to get one and form a "Three of a Kind". For the moment I have only "one pair" a nice DSSD and one 16600 from '96 one of the last with tritium. It's only a matter of time to catch one! Un fuerte Abraz...
