Schoolboy error - never let your wife get involved in the finances when it comes buying watches 🤣
Personally, I don't think there's the need to test it for 300m. It has two substantial o-rings on the caseback. If these are not compromised on a 3 or 5 ATM test, I'm pretty sure they'll be good...
Plus being away for months at the service centre.
Black FXD for me today

Arrived this morning - my first pilot's watch.

Can't tell you how many times I've looked at the 'bluesy'.

Desk diving for me today
A 190 is a watch I’d love to own. For me, if the price was right, I’d take a punt and have it serviced. If you don’t go ahead, would you pass me the sellers details?
I know what you mean. For example, if you use 'your' rather than you are or you're and 'eg' rather than e.g. or 'for example' then you come over as uneducated, whereas in real life if we were...
Doesn’t bleach destroy the seals? I know Chlorine in swimming pools takes a heavy toll of diving gear if not rinsed off.
Oh what a shock. Bought a Ventura digital from him a few years ago. Terrible news and my condolences to his family.
If nothing else, I've learned the correct pronunciation of Bucherer this week!
Steve o straps are my go-to for canvass / parachute. He’s a wide range of materials and makes to order.
You can really tell what a difference the AR coating makes on that shot with both held across your palm.
You’d hate my heated undersuit then 🤣
Dive watch always handy for wearing on the boat if not diving. Timing when other divers start / finish, slack water, can we make it home before the pub closes etc.
As Ralphy says, depends on what type of suit you're wearing, but I dive with mine over the silicone seals on my drysuit without any adjustment.

I've had a couple of Panerais from him. Both great condition and well priced. Only point to mention is that he only (or only did) takes direct bank transfers if buying remotely - just in case you...
I’m sure my Omegas are 1.4mm and Aevig are 1.5mm https://aevig.com/shop/premium-nato/ so going to say 3mm once doubled under the watch head.
Surely a NATO is also just going to add 3mm to an already thick watch?
That's really good news and a very different outcome to my experience.
Off for a dive this afternoon with my DSSD

Ok, probably not the normal Panerai strap etiquette, but on my Erika, it weighs 113g. Doesn't feel different to any other 40/42mm stainless diver.

Same for me - I went from a 305 to a 683. Felt small to start with but now feels just right. The black ceramic bezel sets it off really nicely and of course no concerns over scuffs and scrapes which...
Picked up a 42mm sub this week. Bit more manageable than my 305.
