    Thanks Gary. In many ways, you were inspiration for my UTS purchase!

    I've been keeping an eye for a deal on a gently used 1000/1200

    In other words, I'd love to see an Aquadive included in the collection of the OP!
    I removed the pictures, stick with the 1200T

    True WIS enlightenment, right there.

    Nice collection- I'm a Helson fan too. Great bang for your dollar and despite recent customer service issues, buying a Helson has been a very rewarding buy for me.

    Aquadive does not make a watch that appeals to me. Also, except for the NOS model, I find their hands not particularly legible having only a small amount of lume and legibility has been a focus of mine in all my recent purchases.

    As someone who has had the opportunity to see your collection evolve in person and have had the opportunity to observe and touch each of your watches, let me just say great collection friend!

    I love that you have watches I've never heard of (Ancon Tank)or have forgotten about (Helson Sharkmaster). My bank account feels differently.

    I struggled on which thread to reply to because there are watches I covet in all three (snap that DeWitt is sick bro! and the JLC, well you know I think you should disown your family and leave it to me...) So I chose the one at the top of the recent threads list cause I'm lazy like that.

    Gary, you have the most amazing collection I know. Please keep up the good fight on nailing it down and we will all benefit from your experiences. Please post more reviews of the watches you find on your journy. An SOTC at any given time misses all the passers through, which many times are just as interesting.

    It is really a fantastic watch. The more I wore it, the more I liked it. I understand how someone can find it boring, but it is beautifully executed in its simplicity. Superlegible with a pip that is so easy to find in low light. For my eyes it is as dressy as a Submariner. I am very happy with this watch.
