Man that is just Cool

oneillba · 27 August 2009, 02:09 PM

Nice to see your watches in their intended environment. You look like you were having a blast.

scottschoe · 27 August 2009, 02:40 PM

Very cool. Interesting to see the distortion in the last two pics.

Rolexophile · 27 August 2009, 03:14 PM

Great shots! Now that's a tool watch, thank you - sir

DanP · 27 August 2009, 03:21 PM

enjoy !

That's not air, or you are deco'ing.... What is your mix?

Cool photos

Rolex-oo7 · 27 August 2009, 04:58 PM

Rolex withstands another quality adventure...but I've got one question; why didn't you use the chrono or timing bezel to time your dive?

Brushpup · 27 August 2009, 09:01 PM

Awsome surprise! I hope you keep sharing these pics. Really loving them.

Now, who's scared to shower with their oyster?? BRAVO!!

Cool photos

dive on air
morning 13 minutes deco , afternoon 3 minutes deco

Parachrom · 27 August 2009, 10:23 PM

These Frenchmen are MAD >>MAD I SAY. If i were anywhere near them, as a treasure hunter I would have scooped up both those treasures lying lost on the sandy bottom. A daytona underwater looks out of place, yet it looks Uber cool. That LV is superb as well.

Madmen they are taking their watches off their wrists and rsiking losing them to a pirate or a treasure hunter like me

Not a square dive, a multi-level... Or you have titanium bones and fart nitrogen too.

Very cool though and I liked the rebreather pics too.

I have not taken my Daytona swimming, yet alone diving

Gasoil4ever · 28 August 2009, 04:54 AM

Excellent !

Subexplorer · 28 August 2009, 05:07 AM

Hello Spirotechnique!! Surely this Daytona makes a nice dive watch.
By the way... what is the "official" depth ressistance rating of the Daytona?
Great pictures. I enjoy them very much, and thanks for sharing
Kind regards,

nope not a multi level : we rely on the RGBM deco algorythm of the Suunto ... but I am sure you'll love our last story with a dive at 207ft ;)

acce1999 · 28 August 2009, 10:45 PM

Crazy! Wonderful! A Seadweller, a Sub or even an Explorer would be OK... but a Daytona... that is perhaps even too much for me, that argues that watches should be used.

I am convinced that they will take the pressure, but anyway...

Absolutely wonderful action shots of great watches being used.

Best,

A

Thanks Abel, pleasure reading you ;)
before thoses real tests, the Daytona has been tested on a Greiner Poseidon Waterproof Watch Tester : the results shows us that the watch pass the test up to 180 meters so we had quiet a margin ;)
tell us that we are crazy ... but not THAT crazy ;)
