Thread: What about: Show me your divers>>>>>

    What about: Show me your divers>>>>>

    As some of you may have noticed, it is the Rolex one of the favorites brand for me. They have some divers to choose
    and the most functional in my collection would probably be this 16610 made in 1991.Since I got it is equipped with a maxidial
    and its hands, LV insert and crystal with anti-reflection below the cyclop



    But many like the classic 5513 without date and with painted indexes. Here is mine with a repainted dial with Luminova.



    If you want to hang with painted indexes so're a Red Sub with the date the optimum, from the last quarter of 72 when it was
    released with the hacking cal 1570.



    Then if you want to be colorful so one can I pick out my own little creation I put together in the house. A white 1680 were killed
    when it became blue, nipples, gold & steel, which is a good combination, I think.



    Would you still have painted indexes and then the sapphire glass to then have the ultimate diving watch is the one 16660, triple 6 applicable.



    Furthermore, we have little brother Tudor also makes diver. A Snowflake from 70 century have become popular again.



    The Hydronaut is not so common but I managed to find a TT with carbon fiber dial which is quite unusual.



    And Black Bay who came for a couple of years ago to pay tribute to the old models without copying the outright.



    My last purchase is a Panerai 219 destro that is fine for 300 meters.



    Then there are finesse divers from Glashütte Original, which today are not manufactured anymore, unfortunately, luckily I
    managed to get the kind of one.



    A miscellany of original parts from Omega we have put together.



    My only Breitling is one you can dive with.



    And finally, a cult watch from Eddie Platts, Dreadnought.



    Then I have probably a couple of more in my drawers but we are content with this for so long.

    I see the title of the thread, and think " Sure, why not, maybe this time I'll whip the camera out", click on the link and then.. ah never mind.

    Awesome photography (and taste in watches) as usual!

    Stunning collection, especially the red sub, the nipple dial and the SD 16660.

    Have you considered looking for an original fat font bezal insert for the red sub ?

    Attached is an image of my DRSD after I changed mine. The service replacement insert that it replaced is in the the little tin on the left - now sold. Makes a huge difference.

    Fantastic photography.

    Solution: swop the bezal inserts on the 5513 and red sub - job done.

    Those are a fantastic collection - thank you - that Sub is awesome!

    And my own 16660 with the gloss dial from 1986

    I've never been that sure about the Hydronaut however for that I'll make an exception. The others aren't too shabby either!

    It was an aged lume colour trial that a forum member did to give the look of patina.
