·I feel like that's a lead in to some comment about my hose ... but, no. I'm not a firefighter.

·It was given to Firefighters in Germany. But I bought it on eBay (found with box and papers). Not sure who it originally belonged to.
The helmet in the emblem looks much like one in use by German firefighters during WW2 though with a bit less of the Stahlhelm vibe.
Wonder if they still use these helmets or if its just a traditional emblem.

·Great to see this thread back up.
A Baylor supercompressor
A gold-plated Zenith P3632
An original Seiko Samurai SBDA003
And the one that got away. A Smiths Astral I found in a small jewellery shop in Italy, but they wanted absurd money for it

·Combining spaceflight and SCUBA diving:
August 1962, Mercury astronaut Leroy "Gordo" Cooper went diving wearing his Accutron Astronaut tuning fork wrist watch... also note the camera in its "waterproof" case... a novelty almost 60 years ago!

·A couple of new additions to my collection that I think qualify. Both from the 2nd oldest Swiss manufacturer Favre Leuba.

·Not much for bright colored dials but I can see that these might be an advantage underwater.
Very nice looking watch overall. Orange and Black were my school colors.
Thank you! 😀 I usually avoid loud colored dials too but the orange tone reminds me of the Doxa SUB 200T, a watch i always wanted and for a fraction of the price 😉 Turns out black and orange make a nice combo 🥰
