No pic but blue faced, white gold DJ2 today.
Getat
Started off with the skx007 that I've worn everyday and night for the past two months. Switched to a Sarb035 for a lunch time function but I can't get a proper fit on the bracelet and so I switched into my uber comfy speedy pro when I got home.
DSSD for me let's see what tapatalk will do the image quality it usually really ruins it.

Thanks TTT. It's a Longines Ultronic diver from 1971/2 code 8484-1(1=strap not bracelet). The movement is an electronic Mosaba 9162, basically an upgrade of the Bulova tuning fork movement so it hums(and the seconds hand glides, rather than steps).
Me being arty or drunk, or both..
Omega used the same movement in their f300 series of the same era. Longines produced much fewer and the diver doesn't come up that often. The grey/green bezelled one is the less common as they usually come with an orange bezel.
If you're looking for one T my advice would be to go directly to ebay.it, they were a popular brand in Italy and the ultronics seem to be more common there. It's where I got my one. Originally sold in 72 by their Milan dealer. They can be very accurate. My one runs around 5 seconds a month slow. There is a bracelet one from Italy on the Bay at the moment, but it's at big money IMH and the condition of the hands isn't great(though prices for them seem to have really shot up in the last 18 months).
Wearing my PRS-53 all day, no pics but you know what it looks like.
Some tremendous pics on this thread today guys, thank you.
The absolute standout is the Explorer with the eclipse reflected on the dial.
Well done that man!
