    Re: The greatest titanium dive watch ever built.... why?

    Alright... close this thread... perfect size at 44mm but wears smaller on my 6.75" wrist. Super-accurate, very light, comfortable, dresses up and down, and flies under the radar or brand snobs. Performed flawlessly at the beach being buried in sand, rocks, banged against door jambs, walls, etc.
    Best watch I've ever owned.

    I wish Seiko would make a GS SD diver with a GMT function.

    Really surprised so many are picking the Seawolf while it may be a quality time piece cant imagine actually diving with it, no lume, a bezel that's very hard to turn.

    Why? Cuz its the first to have many innovations that most dive watches don't have today

It's design was so good that it didn't need a HRV for saturation diving, and it was, in those days, hands down the most rugged mechanical watch you could wear. It was BIG, though, and tended to hit thiings alot...

    The IWC line that became the ti Aquatimers can justifiably claim, at a minimum, a share of the crown as best ti divers of all time. Superlative movements, 2000M depth rating, 60ATM internal pressure rating (!), great wrist presence, incredible engineering tolerances, and unique good looks all help. Plus, the best and most innnovative bracelet ever made! Too bad IWC chose to drop them...

    I definitely vote for these "very first"
