The Dive Watch Connection

Congrats! I jad one a long time ago. Loved it, but off it went to fund something else. Enjoy.

Three nice options for certain. I can only speak to the 243 and 111 which I once owned and a 025 which I will never part with (Sorry, try as you will Paul:). I liked the 243 a lot. However it was heavy and the 1950 case made it awkward in a top heavy kind of way for me. It was a great beast of a wat...

Thanks for the pics. Nice looking watch. It's on the radar

I'd like to see pics of the Supermarine 500 if any member has one? I am contemplating one but not sure.

Thx
Scott

I'm not sure what the norm is for a service cost these days. I did send my vintage 5513 sub in for a total overhaul about 4 years ago and that was 500usd. So although I am not thriled about 600, it seems fair for a total dissasembly, lube, timing and pressure testing to have total confidence in the ...

Heard from RSC NY today. Cost to replace the pearl and ring around the pearl is $120. I don't need a new ceramic bezel. A full service was suggested for $600.

Rolex NY quoted me 255usd for a new ceramic bezel. Then as she is giving me the information to mail the watch back she says, oooooooh I am so sorry it's 375usd. Haha thanks lady lol. Will have to think about this a while. I see aftermarket bezels on ebay for a hundred but not sure I want to go that ...

No idea how the blip came off or where it is. I dont recall knocking it on anything. It doesnt look horrible without it. I'd say the average person would not even notice it missing. So for now, I may just wait until a service is needed. I've had subs serviced at the RSC NY before so I am certain I'd...

The 12 O'clock luminious blip on my 4 year old SubC date recently "fell off" the bezel. Not sure how it happened. Had any member experienced this issue? If so, what was done to remedy it? I am hoping to avoid Rolex requiring me to foot the bill for a new bezel in order to have a marker again. Althou...

Always liked them. Anyone have one? Would like to hear members thoughts on the comanche.

Thx

An AD for B&R informed me the chrono model has been discontinued.

Thx for the pic and reply. Wish a steel bracelet was an option

All is well here. Thank you.

Thanks for the replies. In the planning stage at this point lol. I don't see many come up pre-owned. Hey Donna nice to hear from you. Hope all is well?

I've been admiring the Bell and Ross BR02-94 Chrono for a long time. Thinking about going for one. I'd welcome any comments from current or former owners. I particularly am interested in the PVD version.

Thanks,
Scott

If you get the chance, can you post up a few wrist shots? I think 47mm is too big for me, but I always liked this one. Congrats again. Enjoy.

I tried one on at an AD a few weeks ago. I liked the matte dial and "aged" finish lume. I went back to try and trade for it, but it had sold the day before.

Hey Paul,

Congrats! Awsum piece. Great feature being able to hide the GMT hand for use later when traveling.

Nice looking PO. Looking forward to seeing more pics when it arrives. Congrats!

Wow, looks amazing. Always admired the pepsi GMT. Congrats.

Congrats! Looks awsum.

Nice looking GMT. I've admired them for a long time. FWIW I'd search for an example that has a matte dial. The Gloss dial is nice, but doesn't have that vintage look to it IMO. Good luck with your decision.

Congrats! Classic looking and super clean dial.

Congrats Paul! The watch looks amazing. Clean classic dial. Enjoy.

Looks great! Congrats.
