Reply With QuoteAquastar c 1970, bought secondhand 1978 as graduation prezzie to my self, huh no one else would buy me anything! Serviced in 1988, still runs perfectly and accurately and appears to be still completely water proof
Morning All,
After reading Jonh's post about his Eagle Star Squale diver (great watch and fantastic lume for circa 30ish years of age), I wanted to see who else has vintage divers in their collections and pictures of what you've got.
I picked up this Squale 101 Atmos from the forum recently, I'd never come accross the brand before, so a big thank you TZ for the introduction to my new found retro piece 8)
Cheers,
Aaron :)

Great thread - don't recall a similar one before. Some lovely WABIed watches.
Now my only vintage diver, although another is on the way -
Hi all,
Got these two. The sub is from 1976 and the ploprof from 1975 ish.

the perfect dive watch from 1954, not only can you tell the time but the radition warms the water up for you if its a bit nippy :)
My newest vintage diver. An Aquastar Seatime from the late 60's/early 70's
Some beauties in this thread. Vintage divers do have a lot of character.
Very nice. Some really clever tech in that watch (if I recall correctly?) - allowing one to move the internal bezel with the (single) crown? Very cool.My newest vintage diver. An Aquastar Seatime from the late 60's/early 70's

Some beautiful pieces on this thread!
My entry- a Technos Sky Diver 1000m with spring loaded retractable bezel. A seriously big lump of stainless with a truly fabulous massive bezel incorporating a very thick lens. This one is from the early 70's and in superb condition. Pretty rare too!
So clever my foot fell off.

Morning All,
I've been away for a couple of days and just caught up with this thread 8) There's some amazing examples on here and quite a few I've never come accross before, anymore out there :D
You certainly do Marius, I hope you don't regret letting it go :wink:
Jedly1, If you want to ever consider a trade for this beauty against my Squale, plus some cash my way of course, please let me know :lol: On a serious note, quite simply, the most stunning PAM I've ever seen 8)
the perfect dive watch from 1954, not only can you tell the time but the radition warms the water up for you if its a bit nippy :)
Only one I have, enough it is
I am surprised, nobody has posted this one yet? Seiko 6159-7010 from 1976:

Some absolute stunners here...
I need to drag that thread down :lol:
This was my 10th or 11th birthday present. It was cheap, but perfect for an ex-pat kid in the Caribbean :D
