Well that's just dumb. If they made a steel version for under £1000 I would buy it in a second.

You've gotten some excellent replies, but I will add my experience if it helps. When my 1983 Rolex 5513 arrived in the mail, it was running two minutes slow per day. My inclination was to have it...
Halios Tropik SS is worth considering.

A few weeks ago I got a "nice watch" from a counselor at my son's after school program for my Halios Tropic SS on a Bond NATO.
Other than that, as I've mentioned before, the only other times I've...
I use it to search for naughty words.
Nice one.
Thanks, Paul. Good advice.
Pretty sure I covered all of your points in my original post, but to restate: If an inexpensive pressure tester is reliable, I would like to be able to do it myself. If it's not, I won't.

New seal.
Thanks. My personal "extended range" is about four seconds at five feet, so I think the watch is safe.
Whoa. I didn't even notice the shipping cost. Thanks for pointing that out. A sneaky way to...
Everybody's ideal collection is different, but for me I can't see owning both an SD and a Sub, unless my intention was to build a collection of Rolex divers. Which would be way cool.
When I bought my SMP Bond in 1999, my threshold was how much I felt comfortable putting on my credit card. Charging the SMP was a bit uncomfortable. I really wanted a Sub, but charging that much was...
I bought my 5513 to be a daily wearer. I've come to terms with the risks and worst-case scenarios, and I do want to be able to at least swim in it. (Again, I know the risks, so if you think I'm...
On my Miyota-powered Halios, unscrewing, winding and screwing the crown back down feels like mixing cement, but I don't know what to blame that on. The Miyota in my Everest is much smoother.
"Please note that delivery could take 8-12 days as it will come from China." And we don't actually plan to make one unless someone buys it, in which case we will print out the dial on our ink jet and...
Nice! What is it?

I've got five divers and they've all been in the ocean except the Halios. I even swim in the 5513 sometimes.
PS - Love the Kon Tiki.

Still experimenting with this crazy "Sub on a bracelet" thing.
This thread has reminded me how much more I enjoy reading about what people love than what they hate.
And believe it or not, I don't mean that negatively; I love IKEA. I just mean bolder, brighter, more minimalist.
Lovely photo.
I was born in '65 and gave up right away on looking for a birth year, as gilt and meters-first weren't worth the premium for me. I ended up buying an '83: a belated high school graduation present to...
"Toy like." Exactly. Not in an awful way, if that makes any sense. The hands are just a bit too thick, too black, too orange. Or maybe just a little too modern. Maybe even a little too IKEA.
All...
