New Titan Diver Arrival
It's been about 3 hours since FedEx dropped off my new Titanium Diver and I can't stop staring at it...LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! It's actually a used watch which I was told was in mint condition. After looking it over closely I would say it looks like it's had about a day or two of use because the only thing I found was a very small scratch on the clasp. I prefer this older style dial with only the center links being polished instead of the outside links and lugs like the new ones have. I was all set to buy a new one when I happened to come across this one and I couldn't resist given that I liked the style more and it saved me $$$.
