Ok I need a replacement for my Invicta pro diver as I no longer wish to wear it out.

Ok I have been looking around the $400 mark anf have found an O&W ID3077, Steinhart Ocaen 1 Black or the Ranger by O&W also so far as options.
I do not know what it is about the Ranger but it appeals to me any way you lovely WIS people you opinions please and other options if you think of any.

You can't go wrong with a Steinhart Ocean.  Tremendous value IMHO.

Dude, you don't need to put your Pro diver on the shelf... don't let the scumbag's shenanigans sully your enjoyment of what is a good inexpensive sub clone.whichone.gif Of course if you just feel the need to buy a watch...dancing.gif

Hey Neo...you may want to try Robert Watch....they were hard to find for sometime but I recently found their new website....they make a great sub style watch with incredible lume...and am interested in getting another myself...their Pilots watch has been sought after for some time as well...their prices have gone up a bit since last I've seen them but still priced low for the value imo...ThumbsUp02.gif

Yes I have been trying to think about it like that but wearing it is like trying to bring myself round to eating a sweet thats been a joggers pocked after a run.

I did start to drift off and was looking at the Aristo Sextant pilot watch, I start looking for one thing then completely drift off. The Robert watchs are a good option for me as they are EU so no inport tax...hmm. I like 2 of thier flight watches, the Orange hand cranker and the normal pilot they have. Only 4 there and not good at German.

Maybe you are right, maybe my disapointment at this is just getting in the way a bit, its a good watch and its served me well so I should not take it out on my loyal pro diver.

Always good to take a step back and get a new view, still may get another watch though!! MWAHAHAHA!!!

I saw it and it was love at first sight to be honest, they are sold out at the link location so I had to source else where which is a shame as I like to purchase from forum links. About a week until it arrives.

The vendor just emailed me saying its not in stock but he will get on as soon as he can for me.
This is the second vendor displaying it in stock and it is not.
Looks like I have to wait longer.
