Because when in the mid to late 80's everything became sapphire and later when Luminova took over, it took away the vintage charm.
IMPO of course ;-)
There is a place for 16610's and 16600's and the like.... But not yet, again IMPO.
From 1967...

Just went through mu photobucket account to see what’s been through my hands – Sure there’s been more. Here’s the line up;
I’ve just got the 9411 now
Some from the past
Wish I never sold this one
Some of my current line up although I am thinking about a Sea Dweller so I might be moving them on...

LMAO ! Lololol.....
Those Super Kontiki's are awesome.
Not sure this counts as it's (I assume) a Watchco NOS rebuild. It is awesome though.
This definitely counts, 1974, birth year for me. Serviced, sealed, tested and still ready to do it's thing after 40 years!
This had been my Grail for a long long time
I wore one of thses back in 1971 when Lynn and I got married.
Lost in the sands of time until Henersf came to the rescue.Thanks again my friend.
Best Regards - Peter

Lemania Looks like a diver,
One of my favorites, Lemania Benthos
Zenith Super Sub Sea
Tudors blue dials
Tudors black dials
Submariner 5513 dating to 1967, bought off the original owner
Nice! What is this and what is the case size please?
I have fallen in love with the Longines. Could you provide some data about it (dimensions, movement, etc.)?
Great thread!
The Longines Ultronic Diver and the Lip Nautic Ski diver stirred my loins in a pleasurable way.
Not an expert but its a Ultronic 8484 I believe, 42mm case 22mm lugs. Uses the famous pre-quartz tuning fork or 'hummer' movement originally made by Bulova but use by loads of brands in the early to mid 70s. They are a great and interesting watch for the money!
How about this lot.
Very nice.
This had been my Grail for a long long time

Caravelle diver from the 60's, hand wind with a 36mm case.
My only one
[QUOTE=Jeff wilson;3250146]How about this lot.
I have commented on these Aquadive watches before, they are stunning and represent everything in a watch that I admire. I dont usually go for electric watches, but would be more than happy to go down that route to own one of these. THhe first one in the sequence (blue and orange bezel) is the pick of this bunch
No problem, delighted to help.This had been my Grail for a long long time

Looking at those pics I'm embarrassed to admit that when I owned it I don't think I ever noticed that it doesn't have '30' printed on the bezel!
