Just saw this ad: Who TF dives w watches on???


Dec 3, 2021, 10:25 PM

I’ve never been scuba diving so maybe I just don’t know. But does one need a very expensive watch on when they go diving??? This article makes it sound like it’s a thing. Any scuba divers in the jounge that dive w their Rolex?

And that they became part of the diver culture and still are even though not needed any longer. Thanks for the explanation.

To get them waterproof at depth in the 20s & 30s they pretty much had to be hand made.


Got a buddy that restores old watches, that and his kids are all he ever talks about so I know way more than I should about watches.
