Aquadive Bathyscaphe 300 - GALLERY

I received this watch roughly two weeks ago on OEM ISOfrane rubber strap. It was a wonderful combination, but I am far from being a strap guy, so I just had to have the bracelet. Today it arrived and to say this bracelet is impressive would be a gross understatement.

I am totally speechless, so instead, here are a whack of pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This bracelet has so many links, I can almost make another bracelet with the extra links I removed (8 of them). Anyway, it is going to be a few days before the smile comes off my face. So if you are in Montreal and see a guy limping down the street (310g+ on bracelet) with a GIANT smile on his face. Say hi! And I will show you my Aquadive!

Ancon Tank M26 - GALLERY

I was fortunate enough to be one of the 1st to own one of Ancon's newest bronze watches. In fact, I received mine before they were even listed on their website! While acquiring the Sea Shadow (further down on my BLOG), I was going back and forth with Ancon customer service and they introduced me to this piece.

Since it was made of a mixture of Tin and Brass, it was a different bronze than my previous model (aluminum and brass). I just had to have it. It has not been about a month with the Tank M26 and a slight patina has already developed.

Here it is in living color:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see, despite its long lug to lug length, it fits my 7 inch wrist very nicely and it is relatively thin for its size. I also like the dome crystal, which does not feature any anti-reflective coating. it makes it look a lot like an old school Plexiglas crystal, without the fuss. Whether or not this was intentional, it looks awesome and lends itself well to the design.

So you take a great design, add a wonderful movement (+1 sec/day), a great strap, an awesome buckle and what do you get? A VERY HAPPY TIME2WATCH!

Altofondale 1000m SAT diver - COMPLETE

I learned about this project on Tlex's OceanicTime BLOG (click on link) and I was so curious about it, that I emailed Fabrizio to find out more about it. Turns out it is a very limited project of only 22 watches and last week he emailed me to let me know the project was complete!

Here is the email he sent me:

"Hello Marc, how are you?

Finally the dream comes true! We have done all 22 watches and tested. Look at the pictures!

Once I will have mine available for pictures, I'll make good pictures and send to you for your Blog.

Thank you!

Fab"

Well, here are those AWESOME pictures:

From what I understand, all have been sold and shipping to the lucky few has already begun. For more details and pictures about this great projects, please follow the link below to Altofondale on Facebook:

Deep Blue DepthMaster - GALLERY

I have owned this one for quite some time now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I honestly was not expecting to. I acquired it on a whim and I fully expected it to be a competent dive watch, I just was not expecting it to be such a cool diver!

Despite its girth and whopping 300g weight, it is surprisingly wearable and a ton of fun! (pun intended) Not to mention accurate. When worn 24/7, it is nearly spot on!

Here are a bunch of pictures I took today:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As you can see the thick case back sinks deep into your wrist and all but eliminates the extreme thickness. Like I said, it is very, very comfortable. Even on sticky, humid days like today...
