    Did I imagine this watch? Or does it exist

    Cannot find this watch and hope someone can help. Its a dive watch and the plots had smiley faces at the 6 & 9 position. On the back there is a quote engraved referring to getting the bends being equivalent to drinking one martini per 10m depth? Limited edition and sold out. Help!

    The 'equivalent to drinking one martini per 10m depth' aka Martini Law has no relevence to getting the bends, (which is decompression sickness) but instead relates to nitrogen narcosis.

    It is purely a metaphor likening the effects of depth to mental impairment and there's little scale of measurement really, as there's all sorts of variables involved. Rarely experienced in the first 10 metres of a dive, but after that those variables take over and the first mild euphoria will be overtaken by all sorts of mental impairment and all sorts of depths.
