Its all very interesting to read about the new dive watches built to beat any
dive watch,ever made 
It is quite comical really,considering pro divers use a wrist computer for diving
in real life,and only use a mechanical dive watch as a back up.
In the old days when i was on a diving course in Singapore we were issued with
military Rolex Subs and nothing else.
Most of the divers i saw in the Far East and Australia were using Seiko divers.
Considering the depth that most divers operate in, a 200 meter diver is more than adequate.
Looking at the amount of dive watches on the market today,it seems to me that
they are trying to invent the wheel again and again.
I know it is all marketing bullshit,but when they keep boasting about making the ultimate
diving machine it becomes comical.
Why on earth do they need to make something that looks like a hockey
puck with a strap on it? I could understand it,if there was a meaning for this madness.
Why make a watch that serves no practical purpose at all,except for being
big.
It could be that they are trying to appeal to big people who like big watches,
i do not know.But i think they are trying to appeal to the members of the public who think
big is always best.
You know that if a watch case is about 30mm thick then it must be stronger
than one that is only 15mm thick
Nearly all mechanical divers made today are just jewelry and i include
everything made by Rolex here.But of course they could be used by a diver who did not mind
scratching or denting his 100,000 kroner watch on a coral reef or the side of a ship.But i
do not believe there are many divers who would do this.
I would hazard a guess that most divers who do not dive for a living would use
a Japanese made diver made by Seiko or Citizen as a back up watch.They can be bought for
a reasonable price,and they have a reputation for reliability.
Pro divers earn a lot of money,and some were not so worried about a few dents
on their Rolex a few years ago.But i think this has changed a bit today,considering the price of
them today.
There is a reason why Rolex got their great reputation as a divers watch.And most
people have no idea what this reason was.
It is because the caliber inside the watch,could take anything you could throw at it!
The watch was well built and the case was incredibly strong,but what made it the watch trusted by
divers and the military was the mechanical caliber inside it.
I have seen these subs thrown on the ground, or off walls,and they still kept ticking.
They were the mechanical G.Shock of the sixties and seventies.And that is why divers loved them,
because they could be the difference between life or death, at the time before computers were invented.
Today any Quartz dive watch or good mechanical one,could of course do the same.
Just like cars,watches have developed and become more reliable.
Now it is about fifty years since i last dived,and things have changed a lot since
then.But i can still see though many of these so called dive experts that write for watch bloggs all
over the world.And i can tell you that they are there to sell you watches and nothing more.
If IWC could make a dive watch good for 2.000 meters at just 15mm thick,then why do we
need one that is double the thickness and only good for 1.000 meters? Something here tells me a story.
It seems to me that sometimes progress is like going backwards in some fields.

Hej allesammen.
Jeg er gået hen og brændt lidt varm på et Bell&Ross diver.
Er nok mest varm på et BR 03-92 særligt REF: BR0392-D-BL-CE/SRB eller Ref: BR0392-D-BL-ST/SRB.
Nogle der har erfaringer med nogle af disse ure?
Ydermere er de pengene værd efter jeres mening ?
På forhånd tak.
