I'm in Anders...and a more sporty,all around tool watch w/a nice depth rating sounds cool! I think the whole everyone must do a Dive watch thing is getting played out!yahoo.gif

44mm sounds like a workable size. So will this be a swiss automatic?

Case size noted.

Movements... what do you think will be a suitable movement.
Miyota 8215, ETA2824-2 or an ETA2801?

I would really like to see the eta 2801 mechanical!....it is a sweet movement with a nice power reserve and would be truly unique in a sport watch imhoyahoo.gif

It would be cool. But would prefer such a movement in a Pilot or Casual sport over a diver. ;)

that why I think it would be unique....and I thought Anders was leaning towards a sport watch at this timehand6.gif.....many vintage divers used a 17j mechanical and the throw-back would be very nostalgic imhoyourock.gif

If more of a sport watch I would agree on the 2801 all the way. ;) A diver maybe. :cool:

Have not been diving for a few decades, but...let me add a couple of things I did not see (of course, I could have simply missed them):

1) LUME, LUME, LUME...either superluminova or tritium tubes.

2) A wide, legible bezel.

3) My design preference would be in the "retro" arena, and,

4) the 2801 movement.

As to size, I know these guys like to walk around with wall clocks on their "manly" wrists, but I prefer a 42mm size.

Oh Ken come on. it is OK that your wrist is about as big as my big toe. LOL

I know that Skip...it amazes me though that you guys want these huge watches...makes me wonder what kind of exercise y'all are doing to get your wrists so "manly"!
