    Unsung hero award goes to....

    Maurice Lacroix pontos s diver


    I haven’t worn this much but thought I’d give it a good go this week at centre parks. I am impressed, not sure you can get similar value for money elsewhere

    Internal bezel
    600m WR
    HEV
    Great Lume

    18 months on from the Black Friday event, how many still have them?

    Any other unsung hero watches out there?

    Very impressive. That's how the Longines Legend Diver should look but doesn't. There is nothing like a quality diver. Especially one that doesn't try to look like a Sub...

    Agree. This was a very nice introduction from ML.Shame it didn't find much acceptance.

    It’s strange that ML can make something like this, then basically give them away at 70% off and then go back to make non descriptive quartz.

    It’s my cheapest watch by some margin but doesn’t feel like it

    It’s running at +3spd at the moment

    A very bonny piece. I sold mine but your pics cause some regret.

    I still have mine, it is probably my largest watch but is the most comfortable, especially on the rubber strap from Eddie.

    I really quite like that! Also seen that they do a blue version.

    I always liked the Longine Legend Diver, but the hands look a little off / cheap plus the massive lug spacing too.

    My only ML was a Pontos Decentrique that was a fantastic watch. Don't know why I sold it.

    I have two, one DLC and one stainless. My son took the stainless one and I sometimes wherevthe DLC, excellent value for money and a lovely watch.

    Last day of the holiday and it’s looking great, has almost been sold a few times but staying firmly in collection

    Been swimming in the leather nato and it’s held up well

    They do a blue limited edition, I’ve kept an eye out but they seem really limited, although I’m sure they would be around the RRP which isn’t such a value proposition

    Really not sure what you are trying to say but probably it is just you.

    Ha, just realised the predictive text- meant to say I don't like the straps with the metal logo on the side

    Apt title. They do make some unique and interesting watches and that's probably one of their finest
