This one isn't Super, but it's still historic, if you're into Norwegians on rafts.

an '80 Accutron, the usual Seiko, a '42 Elgin, and a token Bulova A17 that crashed the party

+1 on DOXA! Not a current owner but it's 100% on my radar - just waiting for the right one - a very serious 'proper' divers watch

Some from my collection that I think belongs among the important divers (I can never get down to five...).

First 1000m?

Best 1000m?

Coolest 1000m?

The standard for many years - Sea-Dweller 16600

Almost unobtainium 1000m Zenith

Maybe the last automatic old school 1000m - LTD Beuchat

The meanest looking

Because Norwegians had to go on a raft made out of straw...

I have some of the divers I really want...

The ones missing -
Original Omega 300 (have "Watchco")
Blancpain FF
Universal Sub first execution
Longines

You have an exceptional collection!

In my eyes the most beautiful diver's watch is the IWC Porsche Design Ocean 2000.

20130726_000010.jpg

This is the extremely rare military BUND AMAG version. The case made of Titanium and the automatic movement are totally amagnetic (not very useful unless you are a mine sweeper diver).

The watch wears very comfortably with smooth edges and a low profile.

Enjoy,

These are some great divers in this post! I'd be happy to wear any of them!

I'm partial to my Seamaster 300 but I would also like to second the motion to include the Zodiac Sea Wolf...

Oops. I forgot to include the Wife's.

Really cool grouping, the one on the Bond NATO strap looks funky, can we see a closer picture?

Really nice collection, the one that come with racing-like bezel, does it normal to come with this bezel?
Really cool
