High end divers

Posted this in another subforum but didn’t get many comments. But that subforum is pretty quiet.

Anyways, I’ve been super into divers lately and just want to explore the genre more.

What is out there in terms of very well finished divers?

I have a B…

Natos? Julien Faure

These are super expensive for natos but maybe worth it. Anyone try one out? Apparently they make the Tudor ones too which are quite good? 🧐

Happy with how this macro came out. You can really see what a great job Breguet does with their finishing.

Independents feeling…bland?

Feels like the last crop of releases, really most stuff over the last two years seems to follow the same formula of being time only, exceptionally finished and openworked.

All beginning to feel a little stale. If I put a lot of these watches next to e…

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5015 Titanium Review

I’ve liked Blancpain for years, but always hesitated to buy one because the watches looked a little boring. Stale, even?

Thinking of going down the Breitling route OR Sinn.

I’d get the most up to date release. Leaning towards Sinn due to the wate…

High End Divers / Sports Watches

Would love to see what you all have in the collection?

Blancpain Finishing is Very Very Good…

I continue to be impressed by the Bathyscaphe I picked up recently.

The overall level of finishing, especially the anglage, is exceptional relative to what these go for. The anglage is wider and cleaner than any Patek I've owned and many APs… …

Devil Diver!

I’ve been in the mood for a vintage inspired diver for a bit, and usually stay from vintage stuff for a few reasons, even sold off my 60s omega and rolex pieces but…this Caravelle Devil Diver popped up and at the price point it was a no brainer…

No cr…
