. . . 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...

I can't tell the story as it turns out. I was unsubtly reminded of a NDA I signed.
Wow!

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. ...
I thought that would be an attention grabber! . . .

. . . 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.
Very cool history Art. Thank you for sharing.

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
Something for everybody at this cenote, Bill...
By: AlexSunrise : June 11th, 2018-07:52
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
Gracias, Nico!

So many beautiful places to discover one is only left wishing for more time and opportunities to enjoy them. Abrazo, hermano! Alejandro
Thank you for your kind comments, 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 ...

Even though the deepest I've ever gone with it is only the bottom of a swimming pool! Great fun on the wrist, and I just love that blue dial. ...

I love dive watches but do want to bore you too much
By: Bill : June 7th, 2018-18:59
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...

Hoping to get better at the UW photography. Andrew is the master at that!
Most appreciated!

A great subject really inspires the photography.
More? Oh yeah...

Thanks a lot Captain! Oh yes! I well remember the location...
By: Subexplorer : June 9th, 2018-12:34
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...
Amazing !
By: Cpt Scarlet : June 9th, 2018-14:58
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 ...
My big pleasure to share these memories here dear Captain! ...
By: Subexplorer : June 9th, 2018-15:21

. . . 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
Blomman or CC will know for sure . . .
By: Dr No : June 8th, 2018-18:44
. . . but, generally speaking, chronos without screwed-down pushers wouldn't be the first choice of many divers ;-) . . .

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...
