A PO with a Sub dial. Kind of cool because it's so obviously fake you couldn't pass it off as genuine and can wear it tongue in cheek.

Maybe be a different shade of blue but I'll stick with mine.

VERY strictly speaking, you can dive without any instruments either except an oxygen tank (or just hold your breath)...but back in the real world, who really dive with an Omega/Rolex costing thousands when a dive computer costing 1/10th or 1/20th of that yet offering more features, better time keeping and arguably, more reliable.

indeed, but my main point being that these watches do actually get pressure tested and the helium valve isnt just a blank peice of metal with the words gas release or whatever printed on it.

like a lot of things in life, you may never do it; but its nice to know it could.

Of course it would be pressure tested, all dive watches are pressure tested valve equipped or not!

As much as I might not agree with everything Raymond says p) I do agree with the above. Let's be real, who is going to buy a watch with the helium escape valve as a core feature? It's not a case of you might not dive to +300m, you never will, 99.99% of people never will!

Before i knew anything about it I was only looking at nice dive watches with the valve but after reading up on it I realised it was just one of those things.

So yeah, ultimately it's more of a conversation piece feature than anything else.

Although I suppose if you were on a cruise liner one day and you dropped your watch out the side of the ship it will go beyond that depth in which case the valve will come in very handy

Which was my point, something to tell your friends about at dinner parties.

As the end user, you are never ever going to risk your life and dive 300m to find out of that valve is going to work or not. That's just crazy. So it's just something there as a topic of conversation...like now.

An Omega Seamaster 2254.50, it is much sexier than the new SMPs with their awful hands, and it was under half the price

Was that second hand then? That's really nice and if second hand, lovely condition.

if you saw this on a retailers website would you say it's upside down and needs rotating?

Yes - because it is.

Anyone heard of Sea Gods?

I quite like that.

Yeh it is second hand, I paid £1450, the model is discontinued now.

elf-winding mechanical caliber ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels, 25.60 mm diameter. thickness of 4.60 mm, second stop device, oscillating weight on ball bearing, Glucydur balance incabloc shockproof, EtaCron with micrometer screw, alternations / hour 28,800, bi-directional winding rotor, 42 hours autonomy.

Are they just quoting the individual component specs of the 2824-2 movement to pad out that section?!

What makes it worth £3400?

Looks well overpriced for a beefcake of a watch to me with otherwise standard specs for a diver.

But if you like it the price doesn't matter

 

[craptakular]

If you want to spend silly money on a desk diver, the smart money would be on a used Rolex Submariner no-date or if budgets are more humble then an Omega 2254.50 like me

Definitely.

Even in the ridiculous world of luxury watches, that Sea God is particularly poor value.

Another Italian designer sports watch. Would have looked better if they had made it completely black.

Reminds me of this...

It's the weird colour scheme that freaks me. Every time you try to operate one of these weird black controls, which are labeled in black on a black background, a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. Hey, what is this, some kind of galactic hyper-hearse?

Hi guys, I got a Westar watch as a gift. I do not wear watches and do not like the model I got either. Thinking of potentially selling it but I can't find information about them on the Internet. Seems they are popular in Asia but not here. Would someone be able to help me put a price tag on the one I have? It's Westar Active and the back of the watch says 9914stn.
