My 5513, bought in the Autumn of 1976.

I came across this pic whilst looking for something else and remembered this thread.
Taken a few years ago, but wearing my "Deepsea" in NDAC (Chepstow).

Count me in if you will. Obviously subject to the date being confirmed, but definitely interested.

Thanks,

Most likely the rotor bearing/rotor post. I've had the same problem on three separate rolex movements over the years, and if I hear the "Buzz", I don't wear the watch until it's been serviced.
I'm...

I have an "Emperor" that I used to wear on a 6.75" wrist. Not actually a problem but I now mostly wear it over the cuff of a 3.5mm thick diving glove. (It looks better proportioned like that!). With...

Thanks for the invite Jason, I've only just spotted it so not sure if I'll be there.
Would you mind sending me the venue details, and I'll turn up if possible, failing that will definitely be up for...

Very nice Dave. Although chronographs are not really my thing, I have to say that I do like that one.
I hope to get a closer look at the next "meet".

Well, that turned out to be a great evening, with some new friends along with the usual suspects. I was amazed at the huge array of goodies, and the depth of knowledge within the group.
Thanks to...

Date looks OK for me, so I'll be there all things being equal.
Regards, Bazz.

Count me in, (all things being equal!). Any of the dates should be OK.

I bought this new in September 1976, and have been wearing it ever since (on & off).
Sorry about the old picture, but it still looks the same!

I've had this analogue model for quite a few years, and I find the depth gauge a useful back-up to my dive computer as it's very accurate.
Only snag is, they don't like cold water much. It rips into...

Here's my Analogue Aqualand which has seen a lot of diving action.
The depth gauge makes it a useful back-up to my dive computer.

Hi,
I wear an original, also on the right wrist and I have about the same wrist size as you.
I've never had a problem and you can still release the bezel lock left handed, which I always thought...

I did a similar thing to mine about two years ago, and at that time the only repair was to replace the ceramic insert.
The repair cost me about £450, and has made me more cautious since. If you...

I've had this one for about 10 years and done a fair bit of diving with it.
The depth meter is surprisingly accurate and provides a useful back-up to my dive computer. The whole range probably ...

Mike,
I don't know how you managed such good results in those conditions, perhaps you can share some tips next time we get together.
Thanks for taking the time to get these up.

Bazz.

Another one of these I'm afraid.

We don't like change in these 'ere parts as I'm sure you know, however, the committee will give due consideration to your observations.

I think there are a few other crap pubs nearby. If we move, will you come and see us again?

Don't know about the beer but it never feels very warm in there and it's usually pitch dark.
Other than that it's great and handy for most of us!

Bazz.

Another good one, and nice to see a couple of new faces amongst the usual suspects!
Thanks to Dave for dragging us all together again.
Really like Mike's green Sub, but I'm absolutely not buying...

Bought my 5513 in 1976 when I qualified as a BS-AC dive instructor, back in the days when watch & depth gauge kept us out of trouble!
I still dive with it ( last week actually). If they are properly...

Hi Dave, good idea.
As far as I know, either date will work for me.
Looking forward to catching up on the gossip.

Bazz.

Can't offer a comparison shot I'm afraid, as I only have the "Emperor".
Here on my slim 6.8" wrist.
If you are used to fairly chunky watches, you probably won't notice much difference, but a decent...
