For those at like a tease I will play along for your entertainment value. For those 3 people that are in the know please refrain from giving it away!

Setting the stage..............

The Bluesy TT is in the shop for the next few weeks and I have an upcoming dive trip with my best man to celebrate my recent graduation from grad school. In 1993 we spent a week on the keys diving until we couldn’t handle the nitrogen then having a blast on Duval street until we off gassed enough to get back in the water!

So I say I need a dive watch since the Bluesy is not going to be back in time (lets not debate diving with the TT). Now my wife sees right through this charade and says but you use a dive computer so you can maximize bottom time and multiple dives.

In the end she relinquishes and approves the purchase. It should arrive tomorrow.

Yeah I am excited!

Congrats! Gotta love those wives that allow men to spend the money they've earned...

FeelingTheBlues · 7 June 2012, 05:25 AM

I don't know what the watch is but surely this will be interesting!

I'll stay tuned!

DSSD seems like a great choice for a hardcore diver such as yourself:)

mjclark32 · 7 June 2012, 05:39 AM

Congrats on whichever diver it is!

Cru Jones · 7 June 2012, 05:41 AM

Enjoy the dive!! And the DSSD???

Bangel · 7 June 2012, 05:39 AM

I'll take a guess at DSSD?

FremStar · 7 June 2012, 05:41 AM

Hmmmm! If this is an Omega Proplof I am going to be upset!

Can't wait to see the pics!

LVc!

Trouble15 · 7 June 2012, 06:05 AM

DSSD?

White_Au · 7 June 2012, 06:08 AM

Go big!

coralhound · 7 June 2012, 06:53 AM

Great Guesses!

I did consider a DSSD and its predessor the SeaDweller but a sport diver like me "needs none of these things"(yoda cite) My deepest dive to date (20 years) is ~115 feet.

The incoming will get used later this month, and I hope to get pictures of it in action as some of you have requested! It may be a cheap disposable analog (flim) camera for underwater use. Unless I can rent a digital rig!

The Trusted seller has received the wire so I anticipate recieving it tomorrow. Flawless interactions so far!

coralhound · 8 June 2012, 01:32 AM

I was able to secure a OEM black bezel if I ever want to change it up for a period of time.

David SW was AMAZING to deal with! Excellent communication, went the extra mile! Made sure that it passed a pressure test for me so I am safe to dive with it in 2 weeks. I will DEFINATLY work with David again!

kxux · 7 June 2012, 06:57 AM

I'll play...

My guess is 14060(M) - the classic no frills diver?

coralhound · 7 June 2012, 09:39 PM

An update with another clue
Tracking FedEx= left Orlando through Memphis and arrived in Baltimore 6:09am...
I left a clue in a post above that I don't think anyone clued in on after I left it.

Looking forward to the nostalgic trip dive trip to the keys with some fun times in key west with my buddy and my new wrist mate!
