Apeks divers?
Is anyone familiar with Apeks dive watches?
I quite like it and at £80 you cam't go wrong can you? 1000m should cover me in the deep end at the local pool

Re: Apeks divers?
This may sound weird to a lot of people (and coming out of my mouth) but haven't you got a mako for that?
I miss all the great things that may never be.

And a Squale, and a Gerlach, and a Precista, and a Raven, and a Prometheus, and an Artego... but hey, you can never have too many

Re: Apeks divers?
I'm guessing that since Apeks are a highly regarded scuba and dive equipment manufacturer that the claim would have to hold true. However, I will never be putting it to the testAdDaMan wrote:Could an £80 watch really dive to 1000m?! I'm not so sure...lol

Re: Apeks divers?
don't know anything about them, but i'd presume they're a rebadged something. i doubt apeks manufactures them.
looks like it could be a proprietary strap of some sort, or at least something oddball. that could be a bad thing with something that likely doesn't move a lot of units (and could disappear from the market).
personally, i'd rather just pay about the same for a mako or seiko of some sort.

Re: Apeks divers?
Well it certainly looks solid enough and sometimes its nice to go with a lesser known brand which not everyone is wearing
Think the Quartz movement may be some sort of Seiko judging by the website
Either way £80 doesnt break the bank so enjoy

Re: Apeks divers?
I've looked at these before too but I can't remember seeing them as low as £80. Care to share where you saw them?
Thanks.

Re: Apeks divers?
Yeah, it looks like a catalog case. It's probably from the same company that made this one used by Deep Blue and Tauchmeister. The case used by Apeks looks like a slimmed down version of these.gwells wrote:don't know anything about them, but i'd presume they're a rebadged something. i doubt apeks manufactures them.
