Gen dive watch; POLL

[James. 4]

Let's face it, not a bad dilemma to have but sadly i'm too cheap ATM to go the DSSD/FF route ( Jeff )

 

I'm NOT looking for a Breitling/Omega/Rolex watch, more something a lot less common and unique. What would you chose? (I'm expecting the Tudor to win by a landslide)

 

 

 

Eterna

 

 

Tudor Pelagos

 

 

 

 

Pontos S diver

 

 

 

Oris Aquis depth gauge

 

 

[TheSav 2]

Hands down the Tudor!

Followed by the Eterna, Pontos and Oris.

[Wriggles 12]

I'd go Pontos, just a little different to other divers for me.

[edwinowl 180]

Pontos for me James. Very different.

Wow really weird met up with Baxter today and he told me about the Pelagos and he is right it is stunning. So defo the Tudor. Now where can I buy one.

[TheInthusiest 0]

Tudor then Pontos.

[Mystery Shopper 5,887]

None of the above. I'd see what Offshore has in his Squale stock- I was looking at this dial a couple of weeks ago.

[James. 4]

But Scott, what's the time?

[Markrfc 3]

For the Tudor id climb a mountain

[Mystery Shopper 5,887]

But Scott, what's the time?

 

 

Hands were extra! Seriously though, they are beautifully made watches.

[Realism 72]

is value retention important?

[James. 4]

Not really, I know the oris and ML (not out yet) will halve in value over the next year or so, the ETA is ltd and hard as fk to find, now Tudor is in the states their resale will ease off too.

James, as a diver myself, it's the Oris hands down! If you're truly looking for "unique", the Oris Aquis depth gauge is it. It's the first watch ( i believe this is so) to incorporate a Boyle Marriott volume gauge in the crystal.

 

Good luck with whatever you select.

[gran 198]

I refuse to vote..how can you name a reasonable diver Ponto :P

[James. 4]

I know, I've reread the reviews about a dozen times plus, ceramic... buuuut ETA has the awesome pillow case, Tudor is a awesome watch in its own right, I can probably mark off the ML, too similar to my halios...

[trailboss99 994]

Oris! It's a stunna of a watch in person.

If not that then the KonTiki.

I don't like the Pelagos, too plain and too light.

 

PS: Why no love for the Eterna?

[James. 4]

I'm just waiting for Mazz to do a write in vote for a Seiko tuna

[fragzzone 0]

Tudor for me, all in one package: class, style, fashion and quality.

[str8 0]

Tuna? I'd go for this -

 

[Mazz 62]

Tuna or the marine master pictured above. But not in that order

 

Spring drive

 

[graman 2]

Dude,

Get a seiko.

[James. 4]

I already have 2 seikos damn it and an omega on the way

[Mazz 62]

Never have to many Seikos

[James. 4]

Woah... someone voted for the Eterna :lmao:

If you are looking for a good tool diver the Pelagos would be top of my list followed up by a Marathon SAR.
