My Aquadive´s

Those are beauties, enjoy them! I've also owned all three, and loved them.

If you look at the industry right now; I think only IWC, JLC, Favre-Leuba, and Blancpain make mechanical depth gauge watches. Panerai makes one, but its electronic. The original IWC Deep One was quite problematic, and they ceased production, though they do make other versions now. None of the heavyweight watches listed have what you would call a cheap price point. The technology required to build a reliable mechanical depth gauge watch is extremely complicated and expensive. Just something to keep in mind. ;>)

Thanx Jeff Wilsson and Demo111.
But I still misses a couple of watches: Favre-Leuba Deep Blue (orange with black hands), Rodania Super Suisso 3000 (banana dial), a Ploprof or two and a waterproof mod 50 time-depth... please Aquadive, please!!

Is there anybody who knows any other BIG VINTAGE divers (yes Aquadive 1000 ft off course) at 45mm+?????

If I had those three watches and I had to select which one to wear, I would be in trouble. They are all beautiful and I congratulate you on having them.

There is a Model 50 on the bay right now up for grabs. Surprised someone is jumping all over that!

I would bid on the black/white if my wife would let me I don´t mind the condition on the watch very much, becourse I wear my watches all the time. Actually I (allmost) prefer it not to be in mint condition... becourse that makes me bold enough to wear the the watch. My orange mod 50 is in very fine condition... and becourse of that I rarely wears it. In my "book" a watch is made to wear and make me and other viewers happy. But at the other side of the coin, I´m very happy that other collectors doesn´t wear their watches as much as I do - I looooove to se a picture of a watch in mint condition, sparkling and shining. Together we all make an excellent team to spread the world of watches - users and collectors.

Yepp... they all work. In sweden it cost me approx 2-400 usd/watch to repair.... but they are VERY hard to get waterproofed.

To all friends out ther.... GO GET ONE... these watches rocks!!
