. . . is now underway. (And not a moment too soon for Padj!) Divers: love 'em, never had one. For me, they're in the same category as chronos and military - watches that trigger machismo . Just about everyone likes divers, even though only a fraction of u...
What a provenance, Art! I was a bit late to the (vintage diver) game, but have collected more than a few over the years. My favorite is this Favre Leuba. Cheers, Tony C. ...
. . . although, if my recollection is correct, the background story has a sad tinge. Jean Michel gifted the Doxa to Bobby after he parted ways with his renowned father, possibly implying he no longer wanted it.
My experience in the world of vintage is time stamped, so my contribution here limited. However, I do have a special Submersible that was purchased years ago and will never leave the collection. A special La Bomba to me 😀 ...
It´s a cenote called Jardín del Edén, located between Tulum and Playa del Carmen in the Mayan Riviera. By looking at those pictures, I am just dreaming of going back soon. Hoping all is well in your neck of the woods, Art, Alex
Hard core cave diving, free diving, and recreational swimming are all to be had in the great spot in the Mayan riviera. Maybe next time I will engage in all 3! All the best, Alex
... make for an interesting dive anywere!! May be a xenote dive nearby? The double rigs would explain it as safety meassure in cave diving. Tell us more please! Great shots and great diving companion on your wrist! Buen fin de semana mi amigo! Abel.
It is always a pleasure to read you! Yes, you are correct. Picture was taken at a cenote called Jadín del Edén south of Playa del Carmen. Water was cool, the day sunny, and the experience fantastic! I did not partake in cave diving during this visit, but ...
... Scuba diving in Mexico offers some thrilling experiences indeed. People is very nice and places are terrific. I had the chance of visiting Mexico several times, diving in Cozumel, Cancun, Acapulco, etc.. Waters and sea life are superb in the Mexican C...
Here are some live action dive watches while diving. A nice old Vintage Seiko 6105 that has no fear of depth. Vintage and diving don't usually mix. Trusty old Rolex 16660 the Triple 6 loves the ocean. This is the Doxa 50th Anniversary re edition Professio...
... get bored of viewing them?? I specially love to view vintage watches being actually used underwater!! Lovely! Thank you for sharing these great pictures!! All the best dear Bill! Abel

... so nice to view these old workhorses from your friend. They have a very interesting story behind which add to their desirability! Are you considering to add a diving watch to your collection now? Your favorite brand Omega made and makes wodnerful diiv...
because it was my first scuba course and the fullfilment of a long long dream: to dive with an aqua lung. It was around January 1964 at Mar del Plata, Argentina some 300 miles south of Buenos Aires at the pool where lessons were given before the later sea...
The photo gives a real sense of your confidence and pride on that that day. Growing up, I was fascinated with diving pioneers of the era but had to wait until my teens to learn to dive. I still haven’t lost the passion for the things that I have seen and ...
... and absolutely agree that memories, places and people met in different places are a big part of the fun of sport diving. I have introduced to diving many members of my family and most of them are certified divers now enjoying the activity. I’m happy t...
I like the intro to this thread, glad you thought of it. Bobby's watches should be preserved here on the forum for eternity. Here is my contribution to this great thread. Seiko Marine Master at the Marina today, ...

every time I visit. Really comfortable in and out of the water. It has had a few longboard beers spilled on it and survived nicely. Best to all, Tim ...
. . . has the very same PO. He's not a collector . . . it's the only watch he owns. And he goes spearfishing with it, too. Good to see an Omega in the mix today! Thanks, Tim. Art
Where the sea was a mere stone’s throw away and not much else to do during the weekends, I decided to take on recreational diving. Not knowing if I would like the sports and with limited funds then, I got this as my first dive watch. Nothing spectacular b...
...acquired some time ago for aesthetics rather than diving function but maybe but this has seen a lot of water---gifted by a dive master friend a few years ago years ago---may yet see more water if i can get a rubber strap best henry ...
2 of my favourite divers... My tool watch... the Pelagos... has dived everywhere with me from the Arctic Circle to 1,000ft Submarine dives (obviously me inside and the watch outside)... Or my beautiful Sarpaneva diver... warm and tropical diving to cold w...
Sorry for the late entry Art but it was the first time in a long while the kids really got to see me, and as I have only one diver, which wasn’t at home, an archive picture is the best I can do, I guess. My Seiko Prospex SRPA21, PADI Turtle: Have a great ...
