new to aquadive and Looking for Bs 100 or 300

[bryann]

Keep in mind the pics are deceiving, due to the angle and being one dimensional. The BS300 wears just fine, I have a 7" wrist and have no lug overhang and the watch is super comfortable on the wrist. And even at 20mm thick, I generally don't notice it and rarely bang it on door frames, etc. The short lugs are what makes the watch so wearable. Most of the big watches on the market today, have the standard long lugs, so it just makes for an overly long case. IMHO, nothing looks worse than a big watch with long lugs overhanging the wrist. It looks clownish, and doesn't fit or wear properly on a 7.25" or smaller wrist.

Speaking of the DeepSea.....I saw the following on the aquadive facebook page,

"I guess its a testament to the Swiss and German engineering that goes into our fine watches. Here is a copy of the final pressure test for the Aquadive Bathyscaphe 300 from March. Even though its rated to 10,000 feet on the dial, it still passed a pressure test of 502 BAR, which is equivalent to 5,020 meters, or 16,470 feet. Without even trying, and using 40 year old Time Depth Model 50 case blanks, it surpassed the Rolex DeepSea Ring Lock System. Makes you wonder what the depth rating would be with a slightly thicker crystal? AQUADIVE - The Dive Machine. ;>)"

Hi ploprof,

Thanks ones agian for your reply because i just need that little push to the bs300 because of the size and people where saying it wears large i was scared a little.
I personally i like the look of the 300 better just because of its deep dial and the monster look.
Nice to read that the aquadive beats the rolex on WR........against a way more affordable price.
thx ones agian for your help.

No prob... to the best of my measurement it's 2 7/16" (6.19cm). I ride my watches a bit low on the wrist when you look at my wrist shots. Below is a couple more... and by the way PloProf is absolutely right.. the lug length makes the 300 very wearable and comfortable.. and I also totally agree about lung hang... not a good look.

Bro...go 300 but then again I have a 7.5 inch wrist.

I think either way you're GOLDEN but you'll have no problems sporting the 300.

300 at the club....

Bryan by the way your thoughts about fitting under a long sleeve shirt...

Thats something to consider... The BS100 fits nicely under a dress shirt/coat. Also the hour markers kinda dance on the dial giving it just the right bling over a shallower chapter ring compared to the 300. But as you can see above, the 300 makes more of an overall impact with that awesome bezel and legendary NOS 1970 case.

Lookup Bill Bartlett's pictures of his 100 with an Omega mesh on it...so cool it made the Aquadive website.
