Yeap ... im sad .... everytime my family goes to the pool i stay at home .. crying sometimes ... sad .. just... sad

How can a watch freak go to the pool and jump into the water with out wearing a diver watch ?

There are two divers i like ...
JL With alarm (not replica of it)
Blancpain ff blue ... i dont want the black one cause i have too many black dials plus ive heard that the quality of the new ones are lower

So the question is ... same thing with the blue ? First batch is lower quality ? Cause i read two different threads saying ..YES AND NO
THANKS LOVERS

Why?? I believe that it's possible to grease the seals and gaskets and make the FF water resistant enough to use for swimming and at the beach. Have it pressure tested, it may surprise you!!

Trust me Pec, with those arms no one will be looking at your watch anyway.

He knows that mate, he's asking if the current model is worth buying. You just need to speak Peclish to understand :)

Pec: No one at your local pool will ever have seen a BP Fiddy. As a rule people who own them don't swim in public pools so just buy the damn thing and no one will knopw the difference, it will just be a watch. Oh, and what cybee said . . . :p

As your lover, I advise getting a decent dive watch with a blue dial.

One example that costs less than $300 is the Athaya Vintage Lamalfa.

I own one and it is a pleasure to look at, particularly if the vintage thing floats your boat.

You can find a few more with a bit of searching on WUS.

I'd say get a nice SEIKO SKX009K2 for around USD 150 with a nice Jubilee bracelet, and you are freaking good to go swimming ANYwhere :D

I wear my watches everywhere. Shower, sleep, gym, swim, wade fishing (salt water). The only time I take them off is to change watches. I kept breaking watches until I bought Seiko divers. The monsters have been the best. I use Creation Watches for mine.

But you don't want to wear a diver...yeah, stay home. It's safer.
