 Just for fun; Let's show off our favorite tool watches. woohoo.gif

2 rules though;

It actually has to be one in your collection

And, it has to be one that you would not hesitate to take to the woods for the weekend, not a yard-work watch.

I know that this will open up a range of of pieces from a Casio to a Kobold, but I think it would be neat to see :D

To Start; here are my two...

DB Master Diver...



And my Luminox Ultimate SEAL...



Thanks for your input!

Bill

 This i have worn most of the time in the last 5 years.
It has seen the water on over 100 dives, and twice as many showers!
And it has been to 180M.

I love the watch, but have a serious question...is the value of a diving watch limited by the lack of a diving bezel?

Not for me! Scuba diving i dont do, so we dont need to know about 60 mins. Basically, your average bell run in Saturation is 8 hours, 4 of which, maybe even the 8, you will spend in the water. Bell bounce, about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, all of which you will spend in the water.
The supervisor is doing the timing, all you care about is swinging that man size hammer!

So no, a lack of bezel does not affect us.

And really, how many people, who wear dive watches, even dive? then, out of those, who uses their dive watches in the water? and one more, the ones who do dive with a watch, do you use your most expensive watch in the water, or do you use a beater?
I already know the answer!

Guilty as charged...thanks for your thoughts.  Even though I don't dive, I do wear my divers in the water...even the expensive ones.  My Omega likes nothing better than a brisk shower, or a lake swim.  :)

 I have a mate who would disagree, as his PO filled with water on a 20M dive!
I still point and laugh at him, even though i know its not cool.
It now sits in his draw, and he bought a Deep Sea.

 Well up until now my "tool" watch has been my Ocean7 G-2 chrono.. my biggest and heaviest watch but this baby has seen the ocean, dirt, mountains... and all the while giving me a big hand6.gif... Albeit a little heavy but once you get used to the size, it's a great companion..

Here's the G-2 taking a dive in the Pacific Ocean



Now I have to be honest, I think my new Tool Watch is going to be the BaliHa'I Q "Carbon"... I just love this watch and I can't seem to imagine me taking this baby off for anything..

Here's the Carbon driving around Floridasmile8.gif..

 I've got a few in that category that have been out on some rough excursions






And this one; that I'd wear for any task no matter how grungy
