Six Boutique Dive Watches: The Very Best
Right now, we're in a golden age for dive watches. Companies such as Giovino, Palladium and others have made it possible to start your own company with as few as 400 watches, and the Internet has enabled the global reach that lets a niche company flourish. There are many out there, but for this post I'd like to collect my current favorites, representing a range of styles and prices, and in no particular order.Ocean7 LM-1 PVD with PVD sapphire bezelWhy I like itThis one is kind of like buying a car - tons of options, both pre and post sale.Sapphire bezel. PVD case or cold-hardened steel. Optional chronometer-rated movement. Killer luminosity. Good bracelet. Great price ($1,322 maxed out). User-changeable bezels to mix up the look. Workhorse ETA 2824 movement. What's not to like?Things I dislikeYou can see some distortion from the curvature of the crystal, and I'd prefer just white hands instead of Plongeur style orange. Minor nits.OWC 5517 MilsubWhy I like itLumed ceramic bezel. Antiref

Buying vintage
Hi guys,I'm interested in a vintage piece, probably a Seamaster from the '50's or '60's. Can any of you recommend known sites for definite authenticity? I came across this site in the UK that looks and sounds great - has anyone used it?.vintage-watches-collection/Many thanks

SpeedMaster water resistance?
Hey gang, I ws looking at my SM yesterday and decided it could use a cleaning. The only thing is that I don't know whether its ok to take a toothbrush and running water to it. I know about the water resistance of Rolex watches, but what about the Speedmaster? I'd sure hate to turn the movement into a solid lump of rust.

Can you show me some pictures of your aqua terra
Never seen one except in pictures on the omega site, would love to see some wrist shots. Thanks.
