I'm still waiting for it to arrive at local AD to check hand-on. Maybe opinion will change then.

Great collection. I might pick up a Omega Diver as I have owned several and was always impressed.

Love it! All of them are great pieces!!! What's next, SD43, 114060, or go in reverse with a couple 4 or 5 digits?

There was a Gypsy (Romani) at the jeweler when I went to pick up my YM2 gold and the Gypsy was wasting the jewelers time being a pipe dreamer. The gypsy wanted to act like he was smart so he asked how deep does the YM go underwater and the jeweler replied "you don't take showers" this was so hilarious to this day I laugh.

I see you have a diving watch collection so I shared this with you.

Have you thought about trying other brand divers such as a BPFF or PAM?

Thanks all.

Part of the thrill is chasing next piece.

New SD perhaps...

BPFF, something about it just doesn't click with me. Not sure if it's the convex sapphire bezel. I like FF Bathy blue dial though. Streamlined design with great movement inside.

PAM? Love the lume but don't like the design or their history haha

A Bancpain Fifty Fathoms and a Panerai Submersible would be great additions to your collection

Really, divers are all that matter. Everything else is a side dish.
