Divers like the Seamaster...

[Tukjaer]

I am new to this forum and from Denmark,

I'm collecting Divers like the Omega Seamaster, Tag Heuer AquaRacer and so on.....



But what should I go for now..... Any idears? I just bought a used Breitling SuperOcean,

It should be automatic, over 40mm, diver and not to expensive..... Under 500£

Hello and Welcome.

Nice Collection. :)

Why not try a PRS-14 next?

Very nice collection.

I agree with the PRS14 having just got one. Or how about a Marcello C which is a Submariner derivative http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/divers_watches.htm good watches by all accounts

[jd]

Welcome, and prepare for a lot of suggestions!

I'll start by suggesting a Precista PRS-14, from Timefactors aka our host Eddie Platts. I ordered one on Friday, got it on Saturday and I like it a lot.

The PRS-18 is also worth a look (quartz or automatic).

If you like them big, a Marathon SAR?

[jd]

Three PRS 14 suggestions already :D

The nice thing about the PRS watches (for me) is that they don't look like a sub/sea dweller copy.

Hi Claus,

nice to see you here as well, welcome to TZ-UK.

Hello there,

Welcome to the forums.

How about the Marathon SAR (popular among some, though not to my liking), Stowa Seatime or a used Certina 1000m.

Cheers

Welcome. :) I'm sure you're in good company here concerning diver's.


Personally I've to add: There can be only one! :D

Sadly no where near £500 anymore :cry:

[bricktop]

Under 500 GBP? Hmm.... no idea at the moment. A PRS-50 maybe?

Welcome :)

[WatchScout]

Goddag og velkommen. Pas på Sales Corner!

Yes, there can be only one.....

....oooops, there is only one of these :D .

My bad.

I meant ofcourse to say; why limit yourself :shock: ?


Semi serious now; you can buy one of these and mod it :roll: ;

[jd]

It's a bit cruel of you all, flaunting your Dreadnaughts like that :cry:

Can you get an Ocean 7 for £500 these days?

[doug darter]

Hi, and Welcome.

Another vote for the PRS 14, and there is also the Certina DS3 to be considered. There is a great EcoZilla on sales corner at the moment for not a lot if it floats your boat:) (not mine BTW).

[WatchScout]

Personally, I am not flaunting any DN :lol:

Still guilty of flaunting I think :D

[VinceR]

Hello & welcome to the forum .. nice watches! As for what to add, well there's the PRS-14, Ocean7, Orsa, Tutima Di300 (if you can find a used one), O&W, MkII Stingray, Ebel Sportwave (used), Certina DS3, I'm sure there are plenty of others out there ..

[WatchScout]

I'll flaunt this instead then :D

[Tukjaer]

Hi Claus,

nice to see you here as well, welcome to TZ-UK.

Hello Thomas.

A familiar face, nice...... :D

[Tukjaer]

Thank you all for the nice and warm welcome.

Maybe I should look into the PRS-14, it seems to be quite popular.....

[W. C. Bartlett]

I am:

[Tukjaer]

I also have these,









What about Sinn U1? Maybe it is too expensive.....

I really like Doxa SharkHunter but again too expensive right now.....

[Seamus]

Can't go wrong with the U1, with the rubber strap perhaps a bit more than £500

Thomas

I know. It is a beautiful watch, and I liked it the moment I first saw yours, Thomas, but I can't find it in a good condition under 600£. So it will have to wait......

[VinceR]

Some more cool watches! I like that Certina & it's new to my eye ..

[spogehead]

Nice watches....welcome!

Seiko Monster looks favourite to me

[andy tims]

Welcome - lovely collection

But what should I go for now..... Any idears?

Welcome - love

Can I suggest some paint protection film for your petrol tank as a start :wink:

I think the chaps have covered most of the bases as far as serious suggestions go.

If that's the case you should probably hold off until you can get the U1, rather than spend around 500 on a stop-gap that won't be quite as good.

[adrian]

Longines Hydro Conquest.

Oh, I already have this...... only in Chronograf.....

Maybe you're right..... But not my style.... :D I buy, I sell, and in the end I get what I'm looking for.....(so far)

[Dave E]

The PRS-14 is a beautiful watch:



40mm, so may not meet your size requirement? Marathon SAR is a great tool watch, and probably wears a touch bigger than it's dimensions suggest:



De-cyclopsed original for me! I like it better than I do the tritium tube model.

Other than that, I'd echo the U1 recommendation and reiterate the Stowa Seatime (which should be well within your budget used).

[magirus]

Welcome to the forum, looks like you have plenty to think about already! :)

[Tukjaer]

I bought this one....



Not a lot like the Seamaster, but nice watch.....

[Timelord]

Nice collection :)
