Pulling the trigger on a 15707 ceramic diver. Has anyone dealt with Sea Wave Diamonds before?

Thanks for all advice!

Damn these have shot up. Was eyeing them when they were 22k. No clue about the seller but definitely a great watch.

Wow - was eyeing them a year ago, but wanted to think about it a bit at mid-$20k...

At least this one doesn't seem to have a dinged bezel like one I saw listed as "excellent" condition not too long ago.

Thanks for the replies. Yes they’ve shot up but I think they only will rise even more due to discontinued and 300-400 pieces.

This one also has the vertical brushing which is even more difficult to find.

Honestly, I have never even seen one without the vertical brushing. I bought mine in mid 2013, which was the first year they came out and it has the vertical brushing. Anyone seen one without?

Yep, they use the “teardrop” flat brushing. It really makes a completely different watch. I would never consider the flat style.

Cheers.

Bought my AP Diver from Sea Wave a few years back. Had no issues and they shipped next day. Don't have the diver anymore but was a pleasant experience.

Don’t know the seller. I love mine. The one for sale looks like it doesn’t have the vertical brushing. Be sure that what you want because in my opinion it’s not as handsome.

I’m almost 100% this is the vertical brushed version. I wouldn’t consider the non brushed version.
Can anyone double confirm?

Super excited!!

go for it!.. hope you enjoy the 15707. it's such a great reference, made all the more alluring by the fact that relatively few were made.
