I would still have my 176 if I hadn't liquidated my entire collection last year... It was for a good reason, but it still sucked. No watch has held any significant meaning to me since I did that.

**I should also add that I thought I would like the cyclops date window on the 243, but it just doesn't do it for me either. I much prefer my timepieces to A-not have a date or B-have a date with no cyclops. I guess I should just get a PAM 305, since it is Titanium, has a date, and no cyclops.
get an 89 so I could then buy it off of you in a few months

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point
I like the 88 & 89, but other than the Hamilton PW conversion I wear, I detest polished watches.

Raiff, I have tried on the 305 and love it. Pic is of the 305 on my wrist So light and fits wrists our size perfectly Only problem for me is the "loose" feel of the bezel, especially compared to the Deep Sea bezel which has a "quality" feel. Will likely be my next piece.

So, I think I have finally found a watch that I like that is not seven figures:



What is everyone's thoughts on the brand?

"Patent pending" inscription on the back kinda ruins it, otherwise a stunning piece. Not familiar with the brand.

It is still at least $20K, right? I don't like it.

I would own the bottom one if it were a larger piece.

The longines diver has crossed my mind a few times. If it were more like $1k I'd seriously consider it.
