    I pulled this cool, near NOS Candino 1000m in recently, a very nice vintage diver from the 80's... a Beuchat version was issued to French MN divers... put it on an Omega mesh and think it looks super! anyone else enjoy these?

    more info on these from deskdivers... http://www.deskdivers.com/Site/candino1000.html

    I guess it is only you and me. Not much love for these here. For once - though - I am absolutely certain that I am right and the others are wrong.

    And actually - once there was one other that at least did say something somewhat positive:

    I have written down @Alpha in my little thin black book of people that will be allowed to get lube on the pitchfork... even if only spit... ;) (extra credits for those getting the reference - but no lube)

    Great watches for their purpose and interesting story - for those not knowing I really suggest reading at deskdivers.com.

    Might have moved on to extra lube.

    awesome Ushuaia! another interesting story... http://www.patagonia-argentina.com/en/ushuaia

    the Candino has become a quick favorite... wears very nicely, not as massive as it looks, only a hair over 40mm...

    glad there's a few who appreciate these :)

    I've been looking for the Beuchat -- maybe not as hard as I might have -- ever since seeing @styggpyggeno1's, but haven't found one at the right price. Good-looking watches

    Great looking divers to both of you. I can't do a diver, but want to contribute this Candino.
