Reply With QuoteSeawolf II or SKX007 for me (but only on that bracelet!), some veeeeery nice watches there...
Now I've missed out quite a few of what I've had over the years, even though all technically over the 200m divers standard.
But all of these below I would actually take in the water. Plexi Rolex Subs and Minty Aquatimers... I personally wouldn't put in the wet stuff.
Which one does it for you ? ;-) and have you owned or still own one?

I'd go for the Doxa :-)
Had an SKX007 and various Tag's, only one of those I still have is the Laguna, best of the bunch IMO.
oh and a 2254.50
Knew I forgot that !!!! :-/Originally Posted by theoriginaldigger
Great collection!
I've had a 007 and currently own an SMP 300.
Whilst I love the toolishness of the Doxa's and the Breitlings, the pick of the bunch for me is the one you don't see so often - the Kontiki - what a great looking watch.
Eterna! Something a little bit different.
I've had an SMP and currently have a 007
Surprised I am saying this but I find the TAG Aquaracer rather appealing and the artego looks great as well. They are my two favourites out of that rather impressive collection of divers.
I'm love, love, loving the Helson Shark Diver. I'm seriously considering a 40mm when they are back in stock.
All now gone, but I miss them all.
I want all of them!
Had a 750t, Steelfish, 2254 (still have a 2264) and miss them all. Never yet managed the PO but it's still on my list.
Did you wear them in the water Capt ?
This one.
Worn for diving once.As I have only dived once. Proper diving though.Diving tanks and over a wreck in Barbados
Kon Tiki. End of.
Well, in my opinion. Love them all really.
Well for me it's your SO44 'yellow' & one of my favourite watches in my now shrunken collection. It sort of replaced my Seawolf which I had in the slate grey dial. Fantastic watch, a teeny, smidgenly, too big for me, mainly it's thickness, but just able to pull off 45mm dia'. I also prefer the rubber bezel to the more 'sterile' rider tabbed version, I like bezel 'teeth'.
They're all super watches though & I would defininatly like own a 45mm PO one day.
I'm thinking of an excuse to push the button

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.
That Helson has got something about it. For diving purposes I'd probably pick that. For overall versatility you can't beat the PO. Great selection ;-)
Stunning watches! Had the Sharkhunter, still have 2 SKX007s, had the Superocean. Most of my collection is divers. My grail watch is my Sub ND, which is a safe queen and my daily wearer is my beloved SMP quartz.
I second that on the Tag, a guy at work has one and although I am not a Tag fan, that one does look nice.
Seiko 007, but on rubber. Great classic.
#2 without a doubt
The Seawolf and Aquatimer I on holiday and were used in the pool and sea, the other two were untested in water.
These are mine, sharkdiver 007 and an oris small seconds hand, love them all though
I've had the 007 and a Planet Ocean but it felt top heavy and too posh to wear a lot but....
The Aquaracer 500m is my favorite diver, it can take quite a beating but alway comes up ok with a scotch pad, feels nice on the wrist also:
Titanium SMP for me...and I'm wearing one as I type. The silver bezel lightens up the look the classic look of the 2254.50.50.
Otherwise the Seiko...
I think My 14060 has done it for me.
Love my dive watches but of that list I've only had a Seawolf. Kontiki Super would be my choice though.
Quite a difficult choice - nice collection.
My pick of that particular bunch is the KonTiki - I like pretty much every version, vintage or modern
I like the Kontiki the most. Looks great on a canvas strap as well.
sorry Murph but I only saw two watches out of all of the pictures that were of divers watches..... ones worth owning anyway
Seawolf I & II
the rest was just noise

This is what it is all about, nice pictures of watches you have either owned or would like to!
Of your collection, love the look of the SuperOcean, the Aquaracer (lose the cyclops) and the Halios. I am drifting toward dive watches more and more, only have the 2554.50, and it is one I'd never reliquish.
+1
p.s. gives me an idea, I might chuck up a post about my three KonTiki's.........
I've owned that same model PO and also the SKX007 but would go for either of the Doxa watches out of this bunch. Notice there's none of Eddie's there, I currently have the PRS82 and have to say it's an absolute beauty. His DN2 would also look great alongside this bunch.
Out of those Murph - Seawolf and the SMP300m
I think I could possibly be happy with a limited number of watch these days - so may well have a complete rationalisation over the coming months and before year end. I've been carried away for too long, and honestly think a core of 3 watches would be possible (highly unlikely), and definitely 10 watches in total could possibly do it - which is a huge step forward, when you think I was probably over 50 watches at one stage.
Roll on, debt free, mortgage free, retired and a small number of watches to upkeep ;)
It's just a matter of time...
If it were smaller, the Artego would be 1 for me.
The Eterna Heritage is next.
Doxa Sub 750T after.
I think I like the Breitling Superocean and the TAG best, but none are exactly eyesores!
