brown dog Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sold my dive watches... but now missing the functionality. Just taken a punt on a s/h Scurfa limited edition titanium (the preceding no-date edition of the one pictured below) to try for size... price and lightness are appealing, as is the backstory of 'Scurfa', Paul Scurfield, a professional diver who's taken his WISness a step further. He's designed these to be the thinking (working diver) man's alternative to the Sea Dweller. https://www.scurfawatches.com/product/m-s-21-diver-one-limited-edition/ Thought I'd try one, before maybe getting a CWC diver, if the Scurfa doesn't suit my wants/tastes 'in the flesh'. On which: Anyone got a CWC diver they want to move on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Quite like the look of them. Moved over to Traser watches which cost less than an omega service, and last longer than the service interval. Might give one of these a go next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSG Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 They are on my list but I am not sure about titanium. I very nearly bought the Tudour Palagos but did not like it at all although I have two titanium Citizens. I think a new non date Submariner is next, but a used Seadweller could be an option ( unless anybody has a 1979/80 Submariner at a sensible price. I am not sure what is sensible , I saw a Defender 90 Station Wagon today which was 15 years old for £19900! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 'sensible' has left the building on Rolex 😂😊 I'm not convinced on 'run of the mill' as investments either... there's a big delta between theoretical value, and what's actually realisable in a private sale. I love titanium! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Just turned up, pretty impressed. It's basically a titanium/quartz recreation of the Sea Dweller - but with hands I can actually see without reading glasses! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
