I just saw the RGM diver in the flesh (well on the wrist) yesterday. I ran into a guy at the NAWCC museum gift shop, he was looking at the Hamilton autos in the for sale case, all recent models and was remarking to his friend that they must be new old stock. When I said no, they were all recent models he was puzzled and said 'but Hamilton is out of business'. I said, "In Lancaster, yes, but they are now Swiss and part of the Swatch group". When he pointed at one, I saw the RGM peek out of his coat sleeve and made a remark about it, so he showed it to me. Then we compared it to my watch, I was wearing my Orsa 3T Sea Angler hand6.gif, and quite frankly they compared very well. This gentleman really didn't know much about watches other than his was "very expensive". When I told him mine was a VLE he didn't know what I was talking about  The RGM diver is a sweet watch, though I would prefer the new, American manufactured hand wind movement model, which I also saw at NAWCC though in a display case... Cheers, Griff
