Not on my bingo card, #Junghans has entered the pro diver game with the Aquaris. 4 models w/500m resistance, X-1 lume and internal bezel. The blue or red are € 2,690; the black w/orange or green are € 2,790. I like the vintage broad handset better.

I would like to try it on. It's definitely a lot of dial but the bracelet might make it very comfortable

New to me #Mezei Watch Company. Great looking dials with nice dimensions and cool engraving on the back and sides. Miyota 8215 is dependable. At about $500 this seems like a solid buy especially for a little more on the Milanese bracelet.

#G-Shock? Yes. 5600? Check. 24mm? Uh, yup! A $110 fully functional Nano ring G-Shock is ridiculous, right? Of course, but man do I want a yellow one! πŸš–

#Kurono has a diver...but I'm just so confused. It's like an #Omega Alaska Project got run over by a vintage #Seiko and then stopped by #Breguet for coffee. I think i should hate it, but I don't. Thoughts please! $2,700 (orders open today)

So MTA's new dual-power train stopped running on either today, leaving me stuck in the tunnel to Grand Central Terminal for over an hour. But the guy next to me kept beeping and I got to see a vintage 1990s Casio Data Bank calculator watch, DBC‑32D. (He's not letting his son set alarms anymore).

The #Vulcain Skindiver Nautique rarely appears on dive watch top ten lists and I didn't know why. 38mm x 12.2mm with 200m resistance and an ETA 2824 movement. Great vintage looks. And now an LE with a meteorite dial. $2520. Should be considered if you're diver hunting.

Agreed. Praesidus also pretty much only makes field watches and mostly at $500 or less.

Finally, not a tool at all, but art on the wrist. #Resssence x Terumasa Ikeda release the Type 9 IKE. Nothing else like it. Hand painted. Stunning colors. I cannot read it. But that’s not the point…I guess? $44,200

Sticking with real tool watches, the #Nodus Obscura 2 is one for film photography fans. A patented bezel lets you match f-stop and exposure based on the Sunny 16 rule. 38mm, 100m resistance, this is a great looking photography travel companion. $650/$725 (Black DLC).

Now for order, the #Buhlmann Decompression 02 Diver. A genuine tool watch, this is a full dive chart (with decompression stops, surface intervals and fly/no-fly indicator) in a great looking package (applied indeces and polished elements). Reliable SW300. $4790.

#Citizen adds a desk diver to the popular Tsuyosa lineup: the Shore. It retains the angular integrated look, but with a unidirectional aluminum insert dive bezel, bigger indices, a lollipop seconds hand and 100m resistance. $495 blue, $550 green.

I believe that. But it just looks unbalanced to me. Just my aesthetics. I can see why someone would really enjoy it.

This NY weather must be making me cranky. The new #Hamilton Jazzmaster Open Heart (3 dial colors) is a no for me. I think it ruins an otherwise clean looking watch. I don't need to see a Hamilton branded Powermatic80 through the face. $1400 on a bracelet.

Another day, another jump hour. Nothing against #Duckworth-Prestex, but enough already. Anyway, this Marcato just doesn't do it for me, especialy with the hour window at 9 o'clock. SW300. If you like it, there are 3 100-piece LE colors. Pre-order for $2200.
