Seven days, seven divers.

Day #3

What more needs to be said other than it's the best wristwatch value known to humankind? Half-jokingly I've always wondered if Seiko is just a money-laundering front from some vast, nefarious organization. I mean...how can they price products the way they do and still make a profit?

...moving on to the watch's performance as a tool watch... I've worn this watch diving a few times and I like its excellent visibility underwater and the way you can use the fading of the red colour to visually sense increasing depth. But the grippiness of the bezel is really lacking whilst trying to turn it underwater, especially when wearing neoprene gloves. This watch has also become my go-to golf watch, because of its smooth contours underneath and along the edges, and its un-obtrusive crown.



Today's WRUW photo was taken whilst on a 6km (3.5 mi) walk in the hills near our home, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Except that this morning the ocean was still covered by a layer of low clouds (and probably a bit of smog, too).

Spider Lug ref. 2605 (the little sister to 2603), one of my absolute favorites.

166.032, one of two complete refurbishments from Omega directly (via the local agents in Auckland, NZ). Very happy with the results! The returned parts baggy was heaving...

Did anybody else notice that the image in the initial post in this thread which was started by ulackfocus on March 14, 2012, has been changed? And now there are two pictures, instead of just one! Hmmmmm!

Trying the 1016 on NATO - what do you guys think?

A timeless sport watch with a grey NATO strap? Like butter on bread 😀
