Run warm water into your bathtub with the drain closed for about 3 minutes. Peer down at it. Drain it. Sob.

That is as close as I am going to get. Frost outside this morning. Time to put the hood and booties on the 4/3 wetsuit.

Wow, this post was awesome. Thanks for posting. Love the GSD (would own one if I didn't already have a couple of similar watches) and the dive pics are killer.

When you have one in hand you'll see there are no similar dive watches. Promise.

Completely agree. Its a very short list of watches which could compare on aesthetics, quality, technology and dive watch pedigree.
