Top 5 divers

[J.Bond]

If you could have any 5 diver watches, new or vintage, what would they be? They cannot be watches that you own and it does not have to be in any particular order. I will start.

1) Panerai "Egiziano" GPF 2/56 (not sure who's arm this is, but it is a great pic of this watch. Thanks.)



2) Panerai Submersible 194 (again, not sure who gets credit for this pic, but thanks.)



3) Rolex Submariner 14060m



4) Omega "PloProf" 600m



5) Zodiac Super Seawolf



This was really hard since there are so many divers out there that attract my attention. The difficult part was deciding who gets on this list. Anyway there are my top 5. What about you?

~JB

p.s. The Hublot BBK would have been number 5 except I have wanted the Zodiac for far longer.

Well, I was making a list the other day and these are my top five right now:

1. Doxa 750 Pro
2. Orient Star 300m (Yellow Face)
3. Sinn U1
4. Omega Plo Prof
5. Muhle Glashutte Rasmus (Red)

I know that these aren't the most expensive watches out there and that there are many more that I would like to have, but right now these five seem to make up a complete package for me. (NB: I left out chronographs from my list on purpose, I could make another top five out of those alone!)

[Fatpants]

My top five in no particular order...



IWC 3536-001. A classic, oft' regarded as the thinking mans Sea Dweller.



Seiko 7C46-6009. Not here because I own one, its here because of its unique design and 600 meter water resistance in a 14mm thick case.



Omega Megaquartz 32khz 1000M Divers Prototype. If I won the lottery, I'd prise this one from Omega's hands...


(not my pic or watch, thanks to owner)

Girard-Perregaux SeaHawk II. Arguably the best Swiss Divers watch on the planet.


(not my pic or watch, thanks to owner)

Omega PloProf. Nothing much to say about this one

All the best

Omega SM600M PloProf



Scubapro 500M (shrouded)

In no particular Order:

Omega Ploprof
MG Rasmus (either red or blue)
Doxa 300T Conquistador
Rolex Sea-Dweller
Blancpain 50 Fathoms

They are all very different, and stand on their own merits
