    Love that one (you may remember my earlier posts on them from 10 years ago or more), Wore one of these for most of 300+ logged dives in the 1980s. The depth gauge is spot on (took on two chamber training dives, 120' and 160', it was exact both times).

    But I've never sold a watch, so.... none of them! I do still have my broken Citizen I'd like to fix some day. Probably better (and cheaper) just to buy another.
    Regards, T Bone

    Even a broken watch shows correct time once or twice a day. I ought to know, I have a few!

    For me, it's the Benarus Moray. I've bought and sold 5 of them. Three stainless steel and two bronze. I still miss the bronze and the seafoam dial color.

    I've bought and sold a couple Citizen Mission Antarctica watches. The blue I sold because I wanted the bracelet and the black because it wasn't the blue. If I had been able to track down a blue dialed version with the bracelet, I would have kept it.

    I would have bought both, created the combination I wanted and planned to sell the other one but probably never got round to it...

    That's my usual modus operandi. I tried to do things more logically that time and ended up with neither. I already have too many watches that I never got around to selling.

    That's the only one I've bought and sold a couple times, the Moray.

    I've had three Aquadive BS100's but that was all at the same time so doesn't fit here.

    The last Moray, if I'd have been smart and ordered the dart dial like my first one I'd have probably kept it.
