I would love an explorer dialed Submariner, and I missed the Seiko Spork when they were out.
I would love a Ranger Dial in a Tudor Sub as well.

For some reason, I like the combo of explorer or full Arabic numeral indices in a dive watch with a bezel.

I made one about 15 years ago out of a Seiko 7S26 mil dialed Seiko 5 and put it in an SKX diver.

Since I have done a Fortis B42, a Sinn, and a Glycine Combat 48.

Are there some others out there?

But since I can’t afford that I got this:

The Tutima and Bund Chronos from the 70’s are slick.

Those look like the one my father had with some of his gear when I was a kid. I can remember wearing it before it was never seen again.

Specifically I meant dive watches with numeric indices.

Not just mil issue, etc.

Explorer type dialed ones,
Like a vintage SM300



Or a Sinn



And military/pilot typed dial ones
Like the Seiko I made



A Fortis B42



Or some versions of the Glycine Combat Sub

t

I hers them called pilot divers, or mil dialed divers.

That would be pretty cool with a dive bezel instead of time zone.

Keep the examples coming!

Not the black, but you can find them pop up on the used market. They just did a run of blue that's still in stock at WatchGauge: https://watchgauge.com/collections/nth/products/nth-scorpene-blue-pre-order

There's a Spork on the bay right now for $1K.

FYI. Search for SRP043K1

Seiko makes a great watch and the Lume should kick ass.

I want to like my Glycine Combat 48 PVD,
I has fantastic diameter without being too tall,
But the line is really sub par.

Also,
It seems like the bracelet was PVD’d with the screws in the links all in one piece.  Very difficult to remove links, etc.
