As for my (biased) opinion subtlelaugh.gif, the automatics would take top of the list; Deep Blue & Artego. I'm kinda partial to the Deep Blue's ( I have 3 of them). But I have been anxious to try the Artego.

I have had my Master Diver for a year. It is my "designated stunt watch". It also has a Miyota movement like the Sea Diver and it hasn't failed me yet. I also have the DayNight OPS and PVD Master 2000.

Right now if it was me I would buy the Artego, I've heard a lot of great things about them

I'm not so into Asian watches but I would choose an auto in front of a Kinetic.
Mech is more reliable in long term than mvts using batteries...
The Big Blue looks a bit like an Oris TT1...
Maybe too much for me.

Artego is great but I lean to the Deep Blue, more character in my opinion. I am lucky enough to have one of each, not that DB model but love it more.
Depp blue for me with the helium release valve, day and date...deeper WR. DB is cheaper also I think...I really want one but I already have the Ocean master and it would conflict if I bought another at this time.
I would choose my DB over the Artego if you made me choose although I love both.



Good luck in your choice

Well if i get the Artego its definitely going on a mesh divers bracelet, i do like the fact that the deep blue is a 1000m, even tho i wont need anything that extreme. And im a BIG Seiko fan, But Iam leaning towards the Artego.......anyone have real pics of the blue face? and thanks for the input guys!

I'm with everyone else and would go for the mechanical watch over "Kinetic". I'm not a huge DB fan (I think they have just too big a freakin' logo on the dial) and I own an Artego so I would go with the Artego. It really is built like a tank and has a really lovely dial.
