    Everybody has one but, nobody takes them off-road? ...or diving?

    Ah he means SUV

    Yeah, probably. Chronographs with tachymeters, too.

    Of course, choosing to wear a dive watch because you like the style has far less consequences than choosing a gas-guzzling emissions nightmare for your weekly schleps to soccer practice or the mall :coffee:

    Not mine! I actually used every Seiko dive watch I've ever owned in the ocean.

    For real!

    ..... and I fixed the title.

    SUV, that does make a lot more sense.

    Well for many watch collectors, the universe revolves around divers, or at least one model in particular...

    Like the sun?
    I thought of this


    (For latecomers, the title originally said "sun" not "suv")

    I own a 4x4 that sees more dirt than bitumen and a dive watch that sees a fair bit of water

    Mates got the opposite

    Did I see a salty sunning itself on the bonnet? It's poking its eyes out of the water near the waters edge now.
    Reguards.

    I like the egret sitting on shore looking at the SUV. Bet he's saying "WTF? Dumbass."

    While we're on the subject, I'm increasingly of the suspicion that none of my dress watches actually suit any of my dresses.

    (my post is proof that celll phone keyboards should have a breathylizer-enabled feature)

    Divers? What percentage of chronograph owners use them for "technical" purposes? On second thought...
