If you could ask TF to homage any watch, what would it be and why?

Smiths Astral Diver.

Such a cool watch and the timing seems right with Seiko and Tudor releasing smaller dive watches.

I have one of these and despite making good money these days, it really isn't a good watch.

Interesting, why isn't it a good watch? The case looks similar to the 62MAS.

Although I have read that the original 62MAS wasn't a very good watch either!

Built to look like that but with your specs it would be Eddie.

The hands never look right to me, far too small and skinny.

The movement is pretty decent/standard SmithS fare but so many period budget divers used this case, the operative word being 'budget'. For me as a pretty avid SmithS collector I have felt for many years that I can't justify the price that these fetch, given the quality of the case. They do have many fans though for sure. It would be interesting to see an aesthetically faithful 'Eddie' version with improvements. Mind you with the recent return of the PRS82 is another diver needed in the line up??
