    If anyone is thinking about getting one of these ...

    ... I would recommend it. Great value, well made and an interesting history. They come on a leather/nylon bund (which is actually very nice), but I have bought a few vintage style rubber straps and it now feels like something from the 60s.

    Thanks for sharing this.

    Hadn't heard of this brand.

    Like you say, interesting history, from the website:

    A Douglas Skindiver “Worldtimer” from the 1960s, owned and worn by Neil Armstrong, the legendary test pilot, astronaut and engineer, was auctioned in 2019 and its authenticity was confirmed.
    Neat =)

    Can anybody tell me why they have Moscow and Tel Aviv on the Bezel when they are the same time zone?

    Moscow/Tel Aviv aside, I like it! Hadn't heard of them so thanks for the pointer

    Edit - went back to the one that was for sale on SC, and straight on it looks like there's too much dial and the bezel is too narrow. The one above doesn't look like it suffers from the same problem - maybe a trick of the angle. For some reason my eyes prefer Douglas on the dial to Wolbrook.

    Based on the name on the dial I should probably pick one up!
