Nice pickups, Skip. I've seen both of these at TJ Maxx and they never quite got down to a price I was willing to pay as I want to steal watches from TJ Maxx. In retrospect I wish I hadn't passed on the 2824 diver. It sure is solid and has a great strap. The chrono version I saw was with yellow accents on a strap and was very nice. I might have thought longer if the watch was on the bracelet. How is the bracelet? I bet it kicks major arse!! Nice set there, John... and I like the watches. |

But after waiting so long I just jumped on the deal. Wish I had access to a TJ Maxx here. There just to far and out of the way for me. I was surprised the clasp on the chrono also had a divers extension which adds to the clasp quality to me. |

Daniel Mink...sounds familiar. Oh yes, now I remember about reading articles in the International Watch Magazine Publication or was it 24 Hr Magazine? He makes fine timepieces as a matter of fact, someone I used with--from 6 years ago,collected Daniel Mink and ChronoSwiss. Great pair of watcheshand6.gif. Simon |

AHA! Two VERY fine watches Skip...I have had mine for a while now...my Chrono has the rubber strap (and red accents), and while I have toyed with the idea of a Watchadoo bracelet, the Mink rubber straps are the most comfortable I've ever worn (even more so than my Oris which is saying a lot). My diver has the blue face, but the same stainless bezel as yours (some are black like the chrono)...they are extremely comfortable, solid and handsome! Congratulations!!!   |

Yes Ken the strap is very comfortable. If I can find a place that sells them I will put one on the chrono. ;) I held out for a great deal but very much worth the list price for sure. Very well built watches. hand6.gif |

You guys and these Daniel Minks... Bad enablers! Bad! I love the planet ocean markers, have any of you owners taken a moment to check how well aligned those are, especially across the dial to the other side? I am going to have a weak moment one of these days and buy one! |

What type of price range do the Daniel Mink watches run? Also, are they all autos or a mix of auto and quartz? Are the autos swiss or asian? Or a mix of depeding on pricepoint? |

I believe they do make some quartz pieces, but I believe all are Swiss Made. They are solid as a rock! http://www.danielmink.com/ Oh, yes...and I cannot say this to you enough...thank you for your service! |

Cool, thanks for the link Ken. Also, Thank You Ken. You deserve it more than I do. Your war was more unpopular than mine. |

Great looking watches, both of them. I have looked at Daniel Mink watches on the auction site but was reluctant not knowing anyone who had one. There is a TJ Maxx just a few miles away from where I live, but I have never thought to look for watches. I have reason to go now. Skip- at the rate you are going, you should be good for around 50 watches this year! Keep up the good work. |

Yea if you watch the sales forums or go to TJ Maxx you can get them at a crazy low price. Right now the average list looking at several sources in about $1200 US for the Pro Diver and about $2600 US for the Pro Diver Chrono. |
