Luminox Supports 30-Mile Dive To Highlight Endangered Sharks; Launches Limited Edition Watches
On September 17, undersea explorer and combat diver Scott Cassell completed a 30-mile dive from Catalina Island to San Pedro, California. Scott’s goals: to call attention to endangered shark species that are approaching the edge of extinction, and to set a world distance record for the longest uninterrupted dive. Find specs and prices for the new watches inside. The dive took place in the Catalina Channel where Cassell has been diving for years. According to Cassell, less than 20 years ago this area would have produced between 40 and 100 shark sightings in a single dive. On Saturday however, he encountered literally no sharks during his 11 hours underwater, despite using shark attractors during the entire dive. That result confirmed the tremendous decrease in the local shark population. Cassell was forced to give up his world record dreams when an equipment malfunction caused him to black out underwater, forcing him to the surface at the 5 hour mark. Though the record was lost,

Jacques Lemans Quartz
I've read the positive reviews on the JL Geneve Automatics, but I have yet to see much on their quartz models. In particular, I'm looking at one of their divers. I've seen the pics and reviews of others on here and they seem to be a solid watch. Another member on another forum has a Japanese diver auto that looks very well also. Has any one had experience with this model or one like it? OR any JL Geneve Quartz. From the reviews it seems that they offer good quality watches, and I've not heard of any CS or QC problems. I'm also impressed at the fact that they do have a plant in Geneve, Switzerland where they build their Geneve watches and do the final inspections. In buying this watch, should I expect a good $250 watch (price that can be had) or will I be looking at a better deal than that?

Had to be done
Been meaning to snap this for awhile . . . . . .

First PAM - 422 (MANY pics)! And I seem to have gone a little overboard...
... on the straps! There are just so many color combos and makers that I had to try a few of them right off the bat. This is going to be a long post with lots, lots of photos! First, a very nice, handmade, strap case by Rob Montana (The Strap Smith):In case anyone is curious, the straps are, from left to right (the last two are for other watches):1. OEM PAM rubber;2. Dangerous 9's 1926 ammo strap on a Roland Kobalia .950 silver buckle with X mas logo (this one will get a thread of it's own, what an amazing piece of history);3. PAM Assolutamente strap;4. Stone Creek's rolled edge black gator;5. Gunny's super smooth black calf;6. Stone Creek's black ammo (mounted on the watch);7. Ted Su's greyish/blue croco;8. Mario Paci's grey distressed;9. Kain Heritage's dusky brown with dlc buckleHere are some group shots of the watch and all the straps:Up close...Some gratuitous lume shots:And the obligatory wrist shots, along with some individual strap shots :And, finally, the gorgeous case back:I

Which PAMs to let go for a Patek 5711?
Have a 25, 390, 232 and 372 in the collection.. The first of which will never be sold for sentimental reasons as I bought it during my honeymoon..Have been eyeing a Patek Nautilus 5711 for a while now, but have to let something go to fund it, probably 2 out of the 390 232 and 372..Which of the 390, 232 and 372 (2 pieces) would you let go to fund the PP 5711? Or are they such a perfect trinity to you that you would not break it up for a Nautilus? Interested to know what you good folks think! Rather conflicted on this and the feeling changes oh so often.Cheers all !!
