Thats awesome. There’s a few “Paul Newman” Daytonas out there that sat for years because nobody wanted them and they were considered ugly. Department stores had these things laying around for years. They are worth $1,000,000+ now. ---

Alright ive been out of the game for about a year now since I sold my oris divers date. Ive been looking at tag heuer aquaracers lately. I want something with a decent lume. What are some other good divers? Id consider another oris but looking for something a little different. Ideas? ---

> [@EvoMR](#): > > Omega, Ball, Oris 65? I’d love an omega but they are def out of my price range right now. I’ve looked at a few balls I like the firemen series. How are like fortis, alpina, longines? hamiltons are nice but they don’t have a lot that are my style with a nice lume. I had an Oris divers date and would get another but I’d like to check something else out I think. ---

Fortis is solid bang for the buck. I’d pass on Alpina. Longings Legend Diver is pretty nice looking. ---

@XwalkerX there are 2 brand new deep-sea dates at Ashley Jewellers in Hamilton by my place. They just decided not to invest to keep their Rolex license so they are also discounting 20% off msrp up here. ---

The quality and feel of this watch is unlike any other ive ever seen. So comfortable and good looking. I loved my oris divers date but this watch is lighter, more comfortable and makes it look like a fossil watch compared to this. So happy with the purchase. ---

@**[Beck](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=5819)**, @**[XwalkerX](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=58)** this is them: [http://www.ashleyjewellers.com/](http://www.ashleyjewellers.com/) they were a Rolex dealer up until recently. however, Rolex has a host of new requirements to keep their license and these guys decided they couldnt carry the full line and build the Rolex room… too expensive. However, they still have all of the good stuff in stock. i will happily proxy it for you if you want so long as you make it easy for me. i dont know the msrp on this stuff and the canadian pricing is overdue for an increase the discount is not being promoted. My neighbours sister has worked there for over a decade and she told me they’ll do 20% off ---

It is an expensive quartz movement with nice packaging. More jewelry than a watch, but I like their look.
