Posted this on the fishing thread. Thought a photo here would find some info. Any ideas who or when made this?

Looks like an Indian Submariner...Titan Watches are an Indian brand. It looks pretty modern

Well I posted a pic of this in the other watches forum and then saw this thread. Oops.

My most obscure - have yet to see another. Sivane Diver, circa 1965, stainless steel, roulette date wheel, caliber 2452, produced for the French market.

Please note it is 100% etanche - modern dive watches, even the most expensive ones, can’t make that claim. 😉

Not much info available on the web about this brand ,& can only find one picture of a similar watch . Jaquet cobur divers style rated to 5 ATMs ,so probably only good for wearing to wash my hands .

Picket up this unusual Revue Soladiver last week. Have another one hopefully coming in the post soon.. It's a pretty early diver as it sports the calibre 59 and not 77.

Not my watch, but check out that hour hand!


That brings back sad memories of being an underbidder last year 🙁

Sheffield Day-Date Diver, the one jewel wonder. Can anyone tell me what the "T Swiss Made AI" either side of the six o'clock marker denotes? I understand "T Swiss Made T" denotes Tritium, but "AI"?

Oops, posted the wrong photo of the six o'clock position. Not certain whether it is "AI" or "A1". Here is a better photo. Thanks

Agon 1

Could be like Seiko who write caliber info on the dial, so Agon and 1 jewel ?

Complete guess...

Someone talented should write a song called "Underbidder Blues". 😁
