What is your best dive watch?

Of all the others, FF seems to be the best.

I have owned a lot of dive watches over the years but nothing has ever beaten the Rolex Deepsea in my opinion. I have also used Marathon and MWC which are obviously vastly cheaper and I have no complaints with either of them but nothing has the presence of the Deepsea.

The only thing which I really get annoyed about is that around two years ago (maybe a little more) I sold the Rolex Deepsea for around €4000, now they seem to be going for €12,000 which is pretty much the same price as a new one when I'm looking on eBay I can't really believe it. I don't know how the price has gone to the roof like this I just wish to God I had hung onto it because I would like another one and it's just too costly to replace it. I only got shot of it because I bought myself a Breitling Cockpit and had to do something to stop my wife from whingeing!

I have a number of divers (Casio, Seiko, Glycine, Rado, Breitling, Rolex, and Blancpain) and my favorite is my 40mm Fifty Fathoms Hodinkee Mil Spec, although my Rolex has the best bezel action. I plan to add a Tudor 58 this year.

I don't dive and I don't find most dive watches particularly attractive. As a result I have never had a dive watch. Should I see a doctor? LOL

No doctor required, but maybe refrain from diver threads?

What is your best dive watch?

I don’t dive but I do live in FL. I spend a lot of time at the beach and my backyard pool is open all year round.

2 on the left are my favorite divers. One on the right is obviously not so good of a dive watch.

I don’t dive but I love dive watches. The one on the right (FF) is my favorite but the one on the left (039) is probably the most capable.
