    Very cool pieces. The AD on the left is spectacular. Looks absolutely brand new. I've never seen this one before. Thanks for sharing the pix.

    Both of them are stunning pieces. Hard to decide which one to wear. Two watches, two wrists... hmmm......

    Jeff, are the pics untouched/unedited? That orange and blue version looks too good, as in something doesn't seem right. I've never seen one look that perfect, and I've seen some museum quality specimens. For a watch that is 30+ years old, it should have some patina on the lume on the dial and hands, similar to the all orange model next to it. It looks like it sat in a drawer or vault for 30+ years unseen and untouched by the sun and human hands. Even the case, bezel, and crystal looks untouched. That's all good if its legit. As far as I know, nobody has tried to make a counterfeit of any part of this watch. If its legit, its the probably the best example (of an already extremely rare watch) out there. What is the story on that one?
    For members who understand, no explanation is needed. For thread crappers who do not understand, no explanation is possible. Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

    Both are great watches, however, when I looked at the pic I was immediately drawn to the blue and red bezel Aquadive.
