    A Few Alternatives to Rolex Divers

    Thanks to holmefield I have a box to keep some more watches in, instead of leaving them locked away, or lying around - as the Subs and Sea-Dwellers have taken up my Rolex box for quite some time - but now I can have a change, that's much easier than driving to get some more watches out of the safe.

    :)


    or


    Variety is the spice of life after all :)

    I wonder whether if I should be a box for the non autos?
    It's just a matter of time...

    I was going to do a couple of Omega box pics - but I left a few in the safe and also forgot I've sold a few to pay off the mortgage! :(

    BMW Z watch - buy made by ventura - it was the winner of the 2001 red dot design awards and uses the VEN99 automatic/electric movement - touted as the worlds first auto/lcd digital, apparently) 8)

    Called Z watch - because it opens like this - not because of the cars:

    I do have a couple of the non Z watch case models too - like this one:

    I did set that up though - the DN is higher than the other watches ;)

    I generally just close my eyes and reach into this box :)


    But that defeats the object of an alternative to the Rolex Divers post :lol:

    I would definatley be late for everything if I had that lot to choose from every morning! Outstanding collection you have sir, and a lovely balance between a Rolex collection and some other brands to keep it interesting.

    There are more watches I haven't taken pics of - but I have sold quite a few in my bid to clear/reduce the mortgage.

    However, the Ploprof went to a new home in Sweden last week. I had to make some hard choices in relation to watches that I could let go tor pay the mortgage - I thought I couldn't do without the PP1200 - but after I sold my first ever Rolex, there is no watch I couldn't sell - but the V serial SD's are going nowhere.

    I love the sword hands on that SMP. I think that model is far superior (and more original) than the other SMP near it. I (and I guess many others) would love to see a new models come out based on it! Nice collection all round.

    I prefer the 2531 - but the 2254 (the one you prefer) is very nice too :)

    It is probably the same type of illness as people that have 5 Ford Fiestas :lol:

    The 16600 is my favourite watch though and instead of having a more expensive brand, I just bought more of what I like.

    Thank you.

    I think that shortens to SAD ;)

    I prefer black dial watches - but do have most colours covered. I do need to increase the whites again though, having recently sold my new shape EXPII.

    Hey Eti

    There is some variety :)

    The bright red is because the watch isn't used

    Just saw the Rolex box on page 2 :shock: ...some truly nice Rolex divers in there 16610LV, 16600 and 14060M all together...truly brilliant :drunken:..

    I should have a MINT M 16600 coming in next week even though to me there is simply no Rolex dive watch like the COSC 14060M :) ...

    Not used :shock: ?! Now that explains why it's so bright and crisp...however a beauty like that should be worn everywhere IMHO!

    Well done Scott...

    Very Nice! The dial one the Breitling looks fantastic, really like that!

    It's my favourite Breitling (the first I ever bought and currently the only one in my collection)- Limited Edition of 1 of 100. I believe there is a small series of these in different dial colours and Wempe had an anniversary edition that also used the same dial layout. I can't understand why other Breitling GMT's did not use the same layout (although from a selfish point of few I am glad they didn't), as it is infinitely better than the other options used.
    It's just a matter of time...
