The used excellent condition watch that took one and a half hours to buff / polish all the gouges and scratches out of the case and bezel , that I could have walked to Northumbria and picked up faster than it was posted out .

Wintersports - I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Bronze Steel Dive, I have read good things about some other models.

Damasko for me today;

^^^^^^
I really like the Alpinist too !! I hope the work was worth it?

It was worth every rub and expletive

I'll post something longer in the next couple of days. I had a post in WTB as initially I was looking at a bronze Heimdallr, Sharkey etc etc as a sort of proof of concept. Does bronze suit me and as I have some skin issues with metals does it turn me green [can only wear surgical steel wedding ring] .

I'd fancied a bronze BB but there's the feel of not quite a sub even though it's much more than that, and TBH Beckham as brand ambassador puts me off slightly.

So far:

• Delivery super quick, order 5pm Thurs, arrived Sat AM [bought from UK importer https://www.steeldiveuk.com/]
• Box decent
• 'Hand feel' good
• Bezel 120 clicks and tight
• Crown smooth
• Sits well on the wrist
• Lume good
• already slightly patinating
• Straps both good - I'd say silicone would be £10+ and leather with quick release £15-20. Would be better with a bronze buckle

So far a lot to like and not much to criticise.

Very nice Guy!
Is that one new in, or have I missed it previously?

Cheers Gary.

Think you missed it previously, possibly as I don't get to wear it that often (too many watches ).

Got it in the Autumn last year from @footycrazy in trade for a C11 Makaira Extreme which he badly wanted.

Subsequently, more recently, also got an Aquis Hammerhead LE from @neilj568. Stunning grey dial on that.

I knew I’d seen that before! It’s Graham’s old watch, and what a beauty

Ever such a quick snap of a new arrival

I try to put this out of my mind, then casually looking on the forum you post this....and the pain begins .... absolutely stunning

Indeed, although I don't believe he owned it for that long before I got it.

Looks good on the ZULU strap, which I never tried it on.

Enjoy it.
