This thing lingered on eBay for a while and finally tempted me to grab it. I understand there are bunches of Aquadive versions out there that are fakes, I doubt this falls into that category. Plenty beat up, needs seals, battery, who knows what else. I won’t drive too much effort into it, just figured I’d keep it as a curiosity Auction photo  Case back  Seal system, 3 O-rings and a crystal clamping ring  Dial. A bit tatty but not obvious under the crystal  The crystal  Movement  |

Pretty cool watch. Very unique and looks pretty well built. Should be cool if you can get it back in working order.

Yes. I like that one. Do you reckon you’ll be able to rescue her?

Yes. I like that one. Do you reckon you’ll be able to rescue her? Well, it does run, so at least there’s that. I certainly don’t intend to swim with it, but am going to change at least 2 of the 3 ‘triplesafe’ seals. Otherwise it’s worn but really quite acceptable |

Great watch you snagged there Michael. Like all Swiss it is built like a tank, and attention to all the details. I love how they branded the circuit board with their nameplate and marked all the holes, pots and terminals. Ranfft covers the movement 7 jewel Swiss vintage quartz, just love these things. ETA 955.111Might eat through batteries if the gear train is dirty but you are one of our masters of servicing so for a guy like you it should be easy sailing if that's the case. Me, I wouldn't dare try ! PS - Michael I have a set of Startime Supply AM hands made for Tags 70/120/205 exactly as shown on your PCW if you want them they are yours for free. |

Aloha Sir Michael that looks great and I also really like it too. I would wear it any time. That Dial ..... looks like it could be cleaned up a little also but be careful about it. Louis ( Looks like they came on a variety of Straps and Bracelets. )     |

Hi. Made by Jenny, top level waterproofing from their proprietary front loader 500 metres. It’s worth pressure testing such an iconic example and letting it get wet.Cheers Phil
