Has anyone a Zinex Trimix to show? A great looking diver.

Couldn't find the right one, so I bought bitsas and built it! ETA 2386 movement.

So many great watches in this thread! I'm getting itchy for my incoming.
Divex, given to me by a friend. He is a saturation diver and rather views these as disposable. This one went bang in decompression but we put the crystal back in and it seems ok. The bezel should be black but the hot water seeping out of his suit cuffs washes the colour out.

Most of my watches are dive watches, so trying to pick out a few to post about isn't easy, but if hell ever freezes over and I get down to 5 or 6 watches these would be with me still
1) Favre Leuba Deep Blue
I adore this watch. Everything about it is just right IMO. I have a thing for watches with a day / date display, and also a thing for date at 6 watches, and this covers both bases. It's a high beat "Duomatic" movement and keeps time to within a couple of seconds a day.
2) IWC 3538
Just the best Aquatimer there is IMO.
3) Panerai 24C
The later 24s have a brushed bezel, and while some prefer that I don't. I'm normally not a fan of polished watches, but for some reason this just works.
:)
I like dive watches (quite funny as i hate getting my head under water and cant swim ;))
My small collection, nothing special, but i like them (just disregard the Sea-Gull as it ofcourse isnt a divewatch).
Here are a few.....

I'm down to two at the mo, same watch in two different colours/looks:
I know many on here think of boutique divers as the Devil's work, but where else can you get a decent auto, with a classic design and such vibrate watch faces at affordable prices? They are made very well and come in great packages.
Great thread this , Some real gems on show !!
I will get some of mine on here once i work out how :idea:
quite recent...3 weeks ago (but now downsized)
Not my wrist, but the one and only DN.
In it’s natural environment:
I couldn’t decide on which dial colour to have, so I had both: a right pair of monsters.
But orange is a good choice.
If only they’d make a bracelet for them. :(
One of my favourite divers, had two and think there’ll be a third sometime.
Black and blue.
A bit of Bi – with over 1,000 dives under it’s [s:1o7ek0vd]belt[/s:1o7ek0vd] bracelet.
More Bi.
That’s just greedy.
Should be safe enough for air.
Bluer than a blue thing.
SD at work.
The Great White.
MM600.
The latest in the watch-box: DSSD meets a …….. DSSD!

All together.
3 of my favorite divers ! Even though 2 of them is sold now i still have one of each a kobold and a oris boxed ;-)
Mine...
.... errrrr, wait :D
Some very nice watches, but I'm a bit freaked out by the last ic where you appear t have a press-stud implanted in your hand...what the hell is it?
:shock:
So clever my foot fell off.
bubbles :D
Out of these I only have the PO and the U1. Also had a Glycine, an Oris Col Moschin, a Rado diver, a Tuna, and some I can't remember. I started buying watches 2 years ago...
I bought this off a forum member here:
The bezel insert was a bit worn so I swapped it for a Pepsi one and I polished the hell out of the mineral crystal (took a lot of effort) to get rid of the few quite deep pock-marks it had. I put it on a Z22 strap as it seemed to be the Seiko thing to do.
That is a nice pepsi mod
ahh classic

New this week, Vostok Amphibia with custom bezel.
Omega Seamaster 2254.50 .. I bet you all know what it looks like :lol:
PO XL. Love it. Had to sell a couple of cheapies to afford it though :(
My third Oris (sold). Only had it for a couple of days before I sold it. I like the look but it felt too small.
Tärnan Oceanographer (sold). Quite nice and robust watch.
My second Oris (sold) I loved my first TT1 titan diver (300m) but sold it. Missed it so much that I bought this one but never liked it as much as the first one.
Monster (sold). The ultimate beater.
As i told you before I also had a Oris TT1 Divers titan (300 m) that I really loved. Don't have any pictures of that one though.
I have owned;
Vostok Amphibian:
PRS3LE
Custom SKX009
the very wonderful Sumo
And my current diver, LLD date;
This bad boy will be in on Friday-H2O Kalmar-haven't been excited about a watch long time :blob2: :blob2: :blob2:
I love divers !
