Aquadive???? Yep...I took the plunge....

[ronsabbagh]

OK I haven't purchased a dive watch in years. I was at a temporary moment of content with my watches, but sure enough........the urge returned.

I have been a WUS member since 2006 but haven't been active lately. I did my best research on what's currently available and what's "hot"......

I favor classic designs, and was instantly drawn to the Aquadive line. The favorable reviews on WUS tipped the Aquadive into my top tier of "next purchase"

After speaking on the phone with Manfred, I was so impressed with the dedication & direction of the company, that I instantly placed my order for a Bathyscaphe 300.

I received it 3 days ago and I am very impressed with the watch. Fantastic fit & finish on the case & dial. Little things that WIS notice.... like the markers on the bezel lining up... and the hands being the right length and matching up with the hour markers, are all superb. Timekeeping has been -2sec/day. Most importantly, the entire package is more than just a sum of its features. It wears very well for such a large watch and is very impressive on the wrist. It "feels" like a luxury item. The mostly brushed case with subtle polished edges, along with the inky black dial and polished markers, manages to strike the right balance between "tool" and "dress" watch. I am it wearing today with a button down shirt & dress pants, and it does not at all look out of place.

I will post pics once I receive the new bracelet from AD. But I must say, I am very impressed with Aquadive products and their staff. I will buy from them again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I am fortunate enough to have the ability to buy any watch I want...and I chose Aquadive over watches costing 2-3x as much.

When I had the choice to decide between the 100 and 300, with a 7 1/4 inch wrist, I thought it would be overpowering so I went with the 100. Although am completely happy with the 100, if I just waited a few weeks, I would have seen the 300 at the Aquadive GTG in Brooklyn, NY and It is big but the way it was designed, it well balanced on the wrist and does look good on most small wrists. Most my watch friends have the same wrist size and I do and I guarantee that it is the prevalent average wrist size.

Let me get this straight......

I missed an Aquadive GTG in Brooklyn??

I am born & raised in Bay Ridge!! My family still lives there.

I need to get on someone's contact list!!
