Not sure if anyone is looking but there is what seems to be a decent Super Dive (42mm) listed FS today on CT. I don't know the seller or the watch so if interested do your diligence. GLWTS[earch].

I have a soft spot for single crown versions. This is an unusually elegant variation, and I've literally never seen another!

I prefer the longines legend, but gotta believe it's $10,000 + for a nice example.

I was in Vegas last week and on the strip a new longines legend was $1742 put the door. Was tempted.

Here is my Hamilton from 70s. A much cheaper option when compared to the longines from same era.

very nice 😀

^ Both the Ebel and the Lemania above are absolutely beautiful, such a clean and classy look to those two Super Compressors.

Dang, this is a blast from the past!

Funny how one's perspective changed over the years. No longer looking for a compressor style watch but cool of everyone to share their pieces.

Hi
I personally never liked the Fortis Marinemaster in the later barrel styled case.,.

But dont give up hope ..... there are many out there to choose from .....

Good Hunting

Thanks Bill ... 😀 ... the earlier version is a bit nicer but even the later models are hard to find in authentic condition. But you are right ... patience is needed in our hobby.

Best, Nicolas

It's very rare to find a legit example, the majority are fake.

Really unbelievable ... there is only a single model on C24 that looks authentic. And the other ones there are starting from min 1.000€. You really have to keep your eyes open ...
