Sicura anybody?

[BADWIN BING]

I've been watching this on the bay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-VTG-SICURA-BREITLING-DIVER-400FT-MEN-WATCH-DATE-23-JEWELS-ROTATING-BEZEL-/170745162750?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item27c1346bfe

There's something about this watch that I find appealing. I was sceptical about the Breitling association and did a little research.

You learn something new everyday.

Never knew this. Any thoughts/views on the watch?

It certainly has a vintage look to it. At first glance I didn't think much of this watch but after looking at it for a while I also, like you, find something somewhat appealing to it.

If nothing else........it's a reasonable price my friend.

 

[BADWIN BING]

Cheers SF......good price at the moment but likely to rise.

Funds are tight this time of year and, as you know, we're expecting a new addition shortly.

 

[Steelfish]

Oh God........how I know that feeling all too well. icard2:

Can't wait to see pics of Dougie when he graces your home.

Interesting and I learned something new today... yippee! That aside, tends to grow on you and has somewhat of a Blancpain look.

Not sure where Stiff gets his info. The auto divers go for about $300-400 all day long.
Nice watches.

Auto? Where's da rotor? It's da PIN LEVER piece of junk! Da $3.00 werks in da $5.00 hausen! Wonder what da orginal keystone was? $25.00? This and Wakmann were VERY poor and distant cousins of da Breitling.

sm iiH!

This watch looks similar to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
