Well...I know that there are several here at 3T that have had the Dievas Kampfschwimmer for a long, long time (both in the massive acrylic crystal version and the domed sapphire crystal version).  I have always loved the look of these, and we all know that Dievas makes a truly fantastic watch for the dollar invested, so I decided to pick up this gently used Kampfschwimmer and I'm wondering what took me so long!!!

This is my first wire lug style watch, and I have to say that I really, really like this one alot.  Dievas did a fantastic job with the vintage lume and dial, and I love the fantastic blued hands.  This case is a marvel to look at and I have to say that taking pictures that do this watch justice is a very difficult task indeed.  In the hand, it is a truly beautiful piece and the case work is incredible. This is the double domed sapphire crystal model...done so well that there is no distortion looking through the crystal at very steep angles.  I'm loving it!!my love.gif

...and some pics





Please forgive my finger print smudge on the crystal in this shot....
