Any Watch geeks here?

My inheritance is an IWC pocket watch.

I don't know who made this one. It never worked until very recently when my mum got the spring replaced. Even now it keeps pretty poor time.

I like the Vostok watches, they're pretty cool in their utilitarian way.
Its another watch i've often thought about buying. I particularly like the Amphibian model with the scuba dude on the dial and the cushion case.

That's the one I have. A blue scuba dude but with a round rather than cushion case. Utilitarian it most certainly is!

Vostok divers watches have become pretty sought after.Especially as modelled by Steve Zissou !

I had a near identical one with a blue face. My ex wife had bought it for me, and I wanted shot so gave it to my oldest daughter.

If it is near identical, it might be another Seiko 7a28. I didn’t realise the significance of them, until I did a internet search a couple of years ago!

Can never hear that term without hearing Alexi Sayle: "I see you admiring my watch. Nice isn't it? It's a diver's watch. I had to drown him to get it."

And then there's Woody Allen...."Nice watch, right? My grandfather, on his deathbed, sold me this watch."
