My budget friendly collection of divers
Always been a fan of dive watches and have been working on building a diverse collection of watches from various brands. This is where it currently stands and i might add something from Mido, Rado or Loginess in the future.

Please post pics of your favorite “budget friendly” divers here

Awesome Eric

I really like that Doxa (and of course you know I love the SKX)

I’ve been thinking about adding a Doxa myself

Thank you!

My first Doxa, so far I'm pretty impressed. I look forward to adding a rubber strap for the summer months

That's a nice, diverse collection of divers with some great brands, styles, and colors. Adding a Mido, Rado, and/or Longines would be great too. I have a small collection of divers as well and I really like my Rado Captain Cook.

Thanks, Wayne!

This one? I wanted the best attributes of both a diver & pilot watch. It's your standard issue Seiko SKX that I modded the livin' snot out of.

-TST Tuna case conversion
-Yobokies pilot dial
-One Second Closer floating pilot handset
-LCBI lumed sapphire insert
-Murphy coin edge bezel

I've taken this watch SCUBA diving and also at home in a plane to some far off destination.
