Just for fun; Let's show off our favorite tool watches. woohoo.gif 2 rules though; It actually has to be one in your collection And, it has to be one that you would not hesitate to take to the woods for the weekend, not a yard-work watch. I know that this will open up a range of of pieces from a Casio to a Kobold, but I think it would be neat to see :D To Start; here are my two... DB Master Diver...  And my Luminox Ultimate SEAL...  Thanks for your input! Bill |

This i have worn most of the time in the last 5 years. It has seen the water on over 100 dives, and twice as many showers! And it has been to 180M. Attachment: P1060746.JPG (Downloaded 193 times) |

Basically, your average bell run in Saturation is 8 hours, 4 of which, maybe even the 8, you will spend in the water. Bell bounce, about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, all of which you will spend in the water. The supervisor is doing the timing, all you care about is swinging that man size hammer! So no, a lack of bezel does not affect us. And really, how many people, who wear dive watches, even dive? then, out of those, who uses their dive watches in the water? and one more, the ones who do dive with a watch, do you use your most expensive watch in the water, or do you use a beater? I already know the answer! |

I have a mate who would disagree, as his PO filled with water on a 20M dive! I still point and laugh at him, even though i know its not cool. It now sits in his draw, and he bought a Deep Sea. |

Well up until now my "tool" watch has been my Ocean7 G-2 chrono.. my biggest and heaviest watch but this baby has seen the ocean, dirt, mountains... and all the while giving me a big hand6.gif... Albeit a little heavy but once you get used to the size, it's a great companion.. Here's the G-2 taking a dive in the Pacific Ocean  Now I have to be honest, I think my new Tool Watch is going to be the BaliHa'I Q "Carbon"... I just love this watch and I can't seem to imagine me taking this baby off for anything.. Here's the Carbon driving around Floridasmile8.gif..  |

This is one went in the sea, in the mud, in the snow, in the sand... I don't care as much if I hit or dirty it...Also, if it brakes, it cost about $150 to replace but I doubt it will ever happen, it's still ticking perfectly and is my favorite beater!

When I just need to get the job done and not worry about bangin up a watch. I go to the Suunto Vector. Heck if it works as a Special Forces Ops watch, I can certainly work on the motorcycle without worry. |

Here are 2 of my favorite tool watches. These are my reasons: 1) they are inexpensive 2) it's a brand with a strong track record 3) there are abundant spare parts 4) the shrouds help protect the bezels 5) bracelets' inner links are a design that can cleverly conceal dings 6) it's always a joy wearing these monsters Sometimes these ones, too:     Last edited on Mon Jan 11th, 2010 08:17 pm by bigrustypig |

Here's mine - was quite hard to snag in good condition, but hey it's a Vostok and aren't they meant to be tools anyway? Still going strong. Never serviced, never broke, never late.  |

I have about 70 watches from Rolex to Seiko...the only ones I ever worry about scratching is my BELL hydrocarbon and my VIXA Type-20 because they have such a highly polished cases. |
