Dive Watch Topic Discussion - "The Grail" Thu, 14 February 2013 23:06 Go to previous message

OK, we just talked about those watches that didn't quite make the cut in our permanent collections. Let's take the opposite tack.

Let's say you discover a genie hiding in a bottle of ketchup one night. The genie tells you his name is Del Monte (fancy that.) Del says he will grant you one horological wish. You can ask for any dive watch ever made and the only catch is that you can never sell it or trade it away.

So which watch do you ask for and why?

Curt
