Just tell her that they were already there...!subtlelaugh.gif

Thats an impressive collection and an even more impressive montage, srh!

I know all of them except one - what is that cool-looking diver on the left of the title "2007 dive watches"...???

It gives the rest of us something to aspire to - enjoy! And happy holidays!

Thanks Ian, somehow though I dont think she will buy it... it also makes me wonder what 2008 will look like. 

The diver you're referring to is a Vostok Amfibia Scuba (russian), internal bezel, Vostok movement, 200m wr...

Thanks srh - never seen that one before - its a cracker! I have not been a big fan of Russian watches - but there seems to be a large number of people here who love 'em. I would love to give this one a try.

What is your general impression of the Amfibia Scuba - in terms of wearability, reliability and service? I can assure you that there is no Vostok dealer I have heard of in Australia - but I really like that chunk of metal!!

Wowee! :shock:

It's actually quite light on the wrist. Rubber strap is comfortable and it keeps good time.  The only problem I have had with it, is the internal bezel tends to continue to move when you go to screw down its crown (doesnt fully disengage) - but I learned to compensate the setting for it.   I picked this one up from an online German AD at a reasonable price.  They have an all orange version as well, but I liked the 'hint' of orange more.  ;)

Hi srh

One of each of the orange/orange and black/hint of orange is on the bay right now.

But when the seller says:

  • Automatic



  • Hand winding



  • Shock-proof balance



  • Central second hand



  • Silicate glass



  • Totally wound watch runs not less than 31 hours



  • Average term of use is 10 years



  • 31 ruby jewels



  • Box Certificate Guarantee

does that mean it blows up at the end of 2017??  subtlelaugh.gif

I agree - yours is MUCH nicer IMHO than the full-blown orange - and much more wearable. Good pick up, good sir!

Now where is my Russian dictionary so I can figure out the case dimensions...   Cheers! IanMThumbsUp02.gif

It was a darn good year for watches, congrats Steve!

I am afraid to even look over the year's purchases on the grounds that it may incriminate me :D

Here's to 2008 being another banner WIS yearhand6.gif

Cheers,
Griff
