    I'm looking to add a diver into my collection.

    My current collection is as follows:

    -Rolex GMT Master II 116710
    -Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox Q1708470
    -Leonidas CP2 Chronograph Flyback
    -Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver White Panda Dial
    -IWC Pilot's Chronograph IW3717
    -Tag Heuer Autavia 1163V
    As you all can see, I don't have a true diver in my collection, and am eager to add one.

    Just to name a few divers I've been hunting aggressively...... Rolex Submariner 16610V, Omega SM200 "Poppy", Squale 50 Atoms Opaco, and JLC Deep Sea Master Compressor.

    I am open minded to anything of quality (40mm and up in case diameter) and willing to spend up to $6,000 USD.

    Any suggestions? :D

    I like Tudor divers. Fifty fathoms from blancpain is cool too

    I have actually! We spoke via email, but weren't able to come to an agreement we were both fully satisfied with.

    There's also a very nice Tudor Sub on sale in the forum right now.

    I have found it so difficult to find a vintage SM300 in honest all original condition. Would love a big T!

    Difficult to choose but if i were you, my choice should be on : BlancPain Fifty Phantom (new or vintage), the new Seamaster 300 Co-Axial (gorgeous) or SM 300 vintage. For the vintage depends if you want or have the time for hunting!!

    More fashion than utilitarian, but I would be wearing it for various water based activities and water sports.

    You could consolidate your collection - sell the 1163V and pick up an 11063P Diver 100

    Actually that's an awesome recommendation, but where would I even find an autavia diver, and at what cost?
