    Get the Charmex CX20K --- It makes the DEEPSEA look like a ladies watch ---- put both deepsea and the cx20k in a pressure chamber
    and watch the deepsea implode wayway before the cx20k.... Don't buy the Rolex hype --- those watches have one thing going for them: resale.

    Sweet!

    This could immobilise me in the morning, not being able to choose...

    I thought so highly of them I got all three.

    The Speedmaster is the only thing we took to the Moon that had no modification whatsoever – it was right off the shelf. What’s interesting about my first one is that it’s beat up, it’s never been cleaned, it’s never been repaired and to this day I can take that watch and wind it and it keeps time as well as the day I got it. And I’ve walked in space with it for two and a half hours and worn it on the Moon for over three days.

Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the '80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!

    Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money.

    Re: Which Japanese diver (Seiko, Orient, Citizen) company has a Submariner or Deep Sea Diver killer?

    I just picked up a Seiko "Shogun" SBDC007. In terms of size and shape, I think it's the closest to a Sub. The others are just a tad too thick for my liking. Also the "Shogun" is Titanium... which is totally cool, if that's your thing. I dig the feather weight and slightly cooler (physically - it has a darker, bluer hue than SS; and metaphorically - it's COOLER) color.

    That said, the other options are spectacular watches. I'm debating between a Spring Drive vs a Grand Seiko Quartz right now.... Ah, decisions.

    Two points:

    1. Is bigger necessarily better?

    2. Yes, the Orient is cheaper. But is its movement on par with the Grand Seiko-grade movement that's in the Marinemaster?

    Joining the choir: Orient 300M or the Seiko Marinemaster.

    No. The Orient is substantially cheaper, a larger case if you prefer that, and a nearly 5mm sapphire crystal. Its a beast. The Seiko has a better movement, smaller case, and a slightly more dress oriented appearance. The Seiko is a lovely watch in the flesh. I like them both a lot but would probably choose the OS300 if I couldn't have both.

    So, who do you work for? Your screen name is a Rolex name. How ironic.

    My daily five watches.

    G-Shock MTG930DA-8V, G-Shock GW-5600J-1, Citizen Eco-Drive BM8180-03E, G-Shock Riseman GW9200-1, and a Vostok Amphibia with a Russian Navy missile ship and a Russian Tank on a stainless steel oyster watch band.
