In early January I picked up rumblings on the Internet of a new Tissot T-Touch watch called the Sea Touch (read more about it in the link). Some prototype images and speculation aside, it was pretty obvious what the new diving-centric T-Touch line watch was all about. It is now clear that there will be rubber and steel bracelet versions. The case of the watch will be steel as well (not titanium as I previous speculated, as at the T-Touch Expert is made). That is OK, as steel has proved to be an excellent material for diving watches. As for the sapphire touch screen crystal, I am so happy that it seems to work underwater and with gloves.The Sea Touch is all about diving looks and diving features. While the T-Touch is a capable diving watch, it's functions are designed for land use. The Sea Touch adds a depth gauge, dive log book, and various important information like rates of ascent and descen

I asked + You answered = INCOMING!!!
First of all, I have never thought I would be able to own a Patek. I am just a Queens boy.. humble beginnings.. and man.. only if my old man could live to see this. He would be like: Get out of here... really??. Better yet, I wish I had the chance to buy him one FIRST! Still, better late than never.My watch journey has been filled with 5K-10K type pieces from Rolex to Panerai so stepping up to Patek, I had to take a deep breath and say yes, let's do it! After I sold off my AP diver(which was beautifully crafted but a touch top heavy for my smaller wrist), I knew I was ready to rip it up and go for it. 5167 was immediately in mind since the pricing was more palatable and also fits the rubber sporty theme found in the diver.

With advice from many here, I immediately narrowed the options down to 5167, 5164 and 5711(and thus,
