Amazing Frankens! One day I'll add a Safari to the list...

For now I've just got this diver... that I put together from the best parts of 4 different divers so far (from 3.0, 3.5 and two 4.1's)

How? When friends ask me to get them a diver I order, pay, and assume the risk, and I QC each one before I hand it over... and since they're all apart it only seems fair that I get to swap in the best parts to mine as my fee for my efforts ... or so I tell myself ;)

If you will sell this watch one day, let me know. This and Volcano is out of stock since a long time,
I guess they change the color on the bezel but who really knows?

Will let you know, but the watch is new to me even if I am the fourth owner: fine dd => schnulli => concepta => slaughterer62 (some familiar monikers, no doubt).
Shame that the factories are out of Volcanos/Lavas since they are wonderful reps, and even better gens.
