Sub will be fine as long as you're careful while diving. Will you be diving from a boat or off shore? If walking from shore, you'll likely get some fine scratches from the sand that gets churned up in the surf. If you want to be completely safe, just wear the G-Shock.

Depends on the condition of the Sub ND and how you like your watches. I assume the Sub is mint. If that is the case, I would bring them both. When you go diving put on the Casio. If the Sub cannot be secured when you are out diving, then wear the Sub.

even though my 164 is not technically a "dive watch", PAMs have a naval history, so, i wore it on my first dive recently and it helped me bond with it even more. i like having the memories when i look at the watch here at work.
not sure what you could scratch against as long as you're not rummaging through coral or a shipwreck or something.

It seems a shame not not take your dive watch on the dive trip
I guess it comes down to whether you really want to keep it mint, or have some memorable experiences with it

I would have thought all the activities you've already done with your watch would make diving pale in comparison! |

Take the Sub!
It will be fine. I took my vintage Omega Ploprof diving. No problems. Scratches are like age lines. You can't avoid them.

Go sub. You will enjoy the activity more if you wear the sub.

You're living in a country with some of the best diving waters in the world, you have one of the best diving watches...what are you waiting for?! Get out there and enjoy the Sub as it should be enjoyed; you're memories will thank you in years to come!

I vote Sub, if it were gold that would be a different story. This is what it was meant for go and have fun. Or i guess you could pick up a used 16610 to take with you
that way this one stays nice.

That's like buying a jeep wrangler, but not taking it off road. C'mon, of course take the sub. You can't buy a watch like that and just wear it to the office.

It's not worth worrying yourself to death about. If a nick or scratch would ruin your trip, take the G-Shock and be done with it.

You need people to help you with this?

Wear it and don't look back!! I just got the new ExpyII and wore it boating last weekend in the Persian Gulf... no issues...although I did get a nice scratch on the clasp from bumpy water coming back to Bahrain....character mark!
Just rinse it with warm soapy water when you finish your daily adventures and she'll be good as new!!

Wearing mine at the beach right now, not sure why you would want to own a dive watch and not use it?

Why is it OK to scratch you Casio...but not your Rolex?
Plastic scratches way more easily than steel.
