Vintage PloProf Advice
I am the sole owner of a vintage PloProf that I purchased back in 1977 or so from Don Brod's dive shop in Austin, Texas. I want some advice. I used extensively when I was a professional underwater photographer and scuba instructor. My watch had years of use (at least ten years!) and thousands of hours of underwater time. I trusted it with my life and it never failed me. But, being young and having to spend almost all my money on underwater photo gear, I did absolutely no maintenance on the watch. It has been in my safe for at least at least 10 years and I got it out last week and wound it and set the date and it still works like a charm. Keeps perfect time compared to Rolex and Casio G-Shock and the date functions too. The dial is faded, the case is worn with dents and scratches, the crystal has a few scratches. When I was diving a lot the watch was the best piece of safety equipment a diver had. Scubapro had just released it's first dive computer (the old bladder model that tried to

Just for a change of pace...
Don't get me wrong, I love the Nautilus as much as the next guy, but just for a change, I present to you a 5296G on a matte blue Camille Fournet strap. If you have an itch that needs to be scratched without waiting for several years, go pick one of these up, probably at a discount! It is clean, it is simple, it has perfect proportions, you can dress it up or down...

Should I sell...
Hello, all:Being that this is Rolexforums, I suspect I already know the answer, but...Would you sell/trade a Tudor Black Bay Noir (ETA) against a new Grand Seiko Spring Drive GMT (SBGE001 or 201)?I've been intrigued by the SBGE001 for several years, but I never had the opportunity to see one in person (closest Grand Seiko AD is 4 hours from me). However, back in November, I had tried one on at the NYC Boutique and I can't get it out of my head!I don't necessarily need to sell the BBN to finance, and the BBN has been a great watch. My only complaint is that the bracelet clasp is a bit of a hair puller, but otherwise it's been nearly perfect.The problem is that, in terms of a daily-wear rotation, I am a two-watch guy at most. My other watch is a Speedmaster Professional that will never be sold. Given that the Spring Drive GMT has the same water resistance as my BBN (and could therefore be my default water watch), I think the BBN might be rendered redundant. In fact, I think the SBGE001 c
