 Scored a 1 week old Schaumburg Aquamatic 1000m diver for a great price. It arrived today. Has the blue dial. It arrived on a nice blue factory leather strap but I ordered a factory bracelet and it came today as well.

I've recently become a Schaumburg fan, liking many of their designs, and this is my first. This chunk of stainless steel is quite a beast, and when you add the bracelet weighs a ton. :D

I love the way the ridges in the crown guards are carried over into the bezel. I've like this case on all the various watches that use it, Ocean 7, Deep Blue, Enzo, etc.. I heard Schaumburg was the first to use it. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

Specs are: 42mm X 17mm, 4mm sapphire, helium release valve for all of my saturation diving :D (none)

Anyway, I know this thread is worthless without pics, but since I can't upload from my camera at the moment you'll have to settle for some borrowed internet pics.
