There's a thread going on discussing dual-wielding watches.

Gave me the idea... how cool would it be to have a Rolex-manufactured Depth-Gauge to match your Submariner? Or a Breitling Altimeter to match your Navitimer?

And so I sketched this up... what do you think? Would you dual-wield this set?

or

?

EDIT: Ok, gotta clarify... the "watch" on the right isn't a watch. It's a "Rolex" depth-gauge made to look like a Submariner. Take a closer look.

I'm a bit confused at to what your really trying to say.

I think the picture says it all. It's a Rolex Submariner on the left wrist and a (conceptual) Rolex Depth Gauge on the right. A matching set.

Ok, now I get it.

Very cool. I would definitely be interested if Rolex were ever to offer instruments as well as timepieces.

Here's another one.

My Breitling Montbrilliant Datora (left), and....

A "Breitling" Conceptual Altimeter (right)

Haha...I love that you called it "dual-wielding"
That is definitely a new use for that video game vernacular:)

I'll leave my diving instruments to the pros. I'm sure they could build one with some time and R&D but I'd pass. Bottom line for me with the diving I usually do a Sub or DSSD doesn't cut it for me. They are cool to dive with on vacation in the tropics. I usually dive with a bottom timer on one wrist and VR mixed gas comp so no room for watches.

Hah... the word actually comes from the Old West... dual-wielding pistols. Yeeeee-haw!!!

Last one... a Daytona and an Accelerometer (Lateral G-Meter)

Edit: fark, that's not a Daytona... lol, well you get the idea.

Maybe one more thing to wear on my wrist besides my watch.
