After many years with ‘proper’ watches wink I picked up a cheap Casio for when I’m messing about in the garage/garden and working down in engine rooms.

It’s liberating to forget/not care much about the watch you’re wearing….

I really like it though!

For jobs about the garden a basic Casio is great choice. Congratulations on the watch.

Thankyou4calling

I collected my Deepsea from Dominic Hackett.

I absolutely love it, beautiful condition and great service.



The graduation from blue to black on the dial only really comes across in sunlight.

I do like these, hope to try one on at some point (and the 556).
I can confirm they are both fabulous.

Classier than most of their offerings, but so much text on the dial.

Not a fan at all.

Think the day and date windows look very clumsy.

I like it a lot. What price range are we talking about here? 20k?

I like it, it's different. I like the strap particularly.

Good work!

I think much more.

I really like it, although I’d prefer a full bracelet personally.

The way the rubber strap is attached makes it look like it’s from a different watch.

Feel like I need to see it in person, this one is white gold.

The version on full bracelet is stainless.

Got offered one in America for what worked out around £33k so quite a bit more!

When I put my name on the list, they were around 41K GBP, that was mid of last year so expect a price increase has already happened.

My tastes have changed, I want an aquanaut if having a watch on rubber.

My mate has an aquanaut. Probably the most comfortable watch I’ve ever had on my wrist.

Used to be his daily before the prices went completely bonkers (he paid £33k and they were £175k+ at one point) It’s quite an understated watch, but the strap makes it instantly recognisable.

I've got one of those. Kinda....



I paid rather less than 30 grand for it and it certainly isn't worth 175k laugh

Whoever is running down a dark alleyway with your severed hand dripping blood all over their tracky bottoms is going to be pissed when he notices ‘quartz’ on the dial
