These used to turn up quite freuqently on the bay a few years back. Don't know about now, as the place has really gone downhill and I hardly look there anymore. I remember them because of the nuclear symbol. I have no idea if it is genuine. The Fifty Fathoms never really did it for me. Also, I've never really read a good explanation of their exact significance in dive watch history. People always mention Blancpain and Cousteau in the same breath, but I can't remember seeing pics of him or his team sporting them. Any info in the Doxa book that puts it in context, Pete?
