I haven’t seen that much obscure divers watches here. Plenty of vintage that is not so extremely rare. Not complaining, I enjoy watching the pictures.

During my diving days, it was Dacor as my go to brand for regulators and other dive gear. This baby landed Sept 16 and I have to say the dial and crystal is in great shape and the case looks good too. The endlinks on the bracelet are a tad wonky and might need a little sympathetic bending. Thankfully I have a tropic strap that works. It definitely needs a service so it's presently residing at my local watchmaker., The watch was made by Titus in Geneva and I think this one dates back to the mid or late sixties. It has an ETA 2472 movement. Definitely looking forward to having her back!

Probably one of one. Tom's watch from the Lynnhaven Dive Center in Virginia Beach, VA. Circa mid '80s.

Finally got this running ( and not stopping) after working for 3 years or so on it. A lot of time searching to find the little movement parts that I had dropped to the floor. Boy these are fiddly to work on. Gave up on day date wheels as they would never line up in the windows. Bent seconds hand from my dog walking on it after it launched to the carpet as I attempted to add it to the pinion.

Very happy with it. Makes me think I am 20 years old again. And… it only runs about 15 minutes fast every 24 hours. I am hopeful that will improve after I add back the automatic winding gears and rotator.
