Just taking a moment to give praise to what I believe to be one of the better values when it comes to Swiss auto divers in the 1k and below bracket !
I've had one before a couple years ago and always kept and eye out for it because this watch had quite the appeal to me , the last one was black dial and this time around red
It truly feels well made and the fit and finish feels waaaay beyond its MSRP
Definitely a great bang for your buck ,
Solidly built , awesome WR great lume and a buttery smooth ETA 2892 not seen to often within this price range
This can be had for under Micro brand Diver pricing on the forum , and they deliver top shelf quality
Just wanted to share and give a [emoji1303] on the VSA Dive Master 500
I used to have an Alpnach auto chrono that I thought was much nicer than its gray market price would suggest. I heard somewhere that for a time they were making their cases in the Breitling factory.
I believe so , the newer models like mine were released in 2012 and have a very minimal update to the dial mostly from what I can see is the font is now smaller and yen date window is less pronounced.
The Quartz versions can be had for really good prices !!
Good luck.
I just received a Maverick in the mail. I haven't worn it yet but it looks like the casing is very well made. I'm excited to play with it over the weekend.
If Somebody ends up buying one on a bracelet and wants a red rubber I got a red rubber it's basically knew I would trade towards a bracelet just a thought beautiful pics !!!
I have had the quartz for years. It's one of my best watches, tough and reliable. I have bought, sold, and traded other brands but still have this one.
Had the DM500 mecha myself and do agree that it was solid value for money. Upgraded ETA movement, tank like build and torch like lume. Congrats on the pickup.
Thanks guys !
Yeah really enjoying the red more than I thought
It's the first red dialed watch I've ever owned and it surprisingly wears really well with most of the clothes I typically throw on
.. Oh and one more thing I find REALLY cool about this watch is the 2 spring bar hole options on the lugs !!!
You can strap in close or further out , I like straps close to the case , I think it looks cleaner and more " flush "
That's one thing that irks me about the omega SMP I've had and currently my PO is that the lug holes are further out on the lugs ...
Oh well that's just me being picky [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
Victorinox is my favorite brand in this price category. They really offer great value for money. I have a titanium quartz Dive Master 500 and recently bought an Airboss - quality and attention to the details. Respect!
I have the quartz one as well, in white and I love it...well built, great lume, simple design..great everyday watch!
