Contrast on tough
By: jml_watches : September 4th, 2020-06:57
Hi A pair of contrasting watches on the theme of tough. Firstly my Seiko diver - what most people would consider a tough watch. The left field choice Yes a Futurematic - probably thought of this as still enjoying it on return from spa. Not what most would...

There is a lot going on in that movement but I would also say it is a robust one.

Tough watch
By: Jay (Eire) : September 4th, 2020-15:28
Ok, tough watch. For the last 5+ years, this has been my daily. It has been on every trip Iβve taken, many far away places, many many time zones away. And some closer. Itβs always in the bag. Itβs been in oceans, lakes and rivers. Itβs gone up mountains s...
Wow - a Garmin!
By: K-Lo : September 4th, 2020-15:46
I remember having them as a navigation device. However, to go with you to many continents, bodies of waters, and even competitions, among other things? If that doesnβt define βtough,β well, then, maybe I donβt speaka de English Tough Watches!!!!

By: Cpt Scarlet : September 5th, 2020-14:50
It defines exploration and is certainly the watch for a gentleman on a tough mission. Your bronze Panerai with the blue disk is one of my favourites. Kind regards The Captain
Fantastic choices, Abel!

This week I have to say the JLC is my favorite - so well done and you found some great straps for it, too ππ»ππ»

This lovely Tudor!!

I know it is a tough watch and all, but it is, damn - too good looking!!! Rolex reliability and robustness without the negative notoriety. And it can handle a βreefβ or two? Splendid Sire! Tough Watches!!!!!

Your mokaran is the real beauty of the dive watches. I like it.

Not sure if ceramic can handle a βbangβ against the reef though, πππ.
I think it can
By: Cookies : September 5th, 2020-07:17
Just as long as no side knock against the scuba tanks and gotta be careful when diving in big groups cuz some divers just like to crowd and throw their gear around. I compliment the mokaran with my heart. Have a great week Ted.
thanks a lot
By: Cookies : September 5th, 2020-21:48
I wished it had a 300m WR and were thinner. This has strengthened my resolve to get another diver when things get better.
Thanks Subexplorer
By: Cookies : September 5th, 2020-21:51
Actually I got into diving because I read about the Submariner and was seduced by the allure of James Bond diving with it. Now, the submariner is no longer as toolish as it once was, becoming more blingy with the ceramic bezel and the beefed up case. The ...
