Stowa Prodiver Vintage 95 Limited

I finally got my Prodiver strap changed and sized so I can wear it. The green rubber made it look awful. I don’t know what they were thinking. It also seems that the green was only available on the limited edition so I didn’t want to cut it anyway.

It’s a big watch but with short lugs and titanium, it’s pretty comfortable to wear. The black rubber makes it look 100% better but the clasp does feel cheap and flimsy. Overall, I think this was a good pickup.

There are many more of these available, probably because Stowa’s marketing photos make it look like shit even though it’s actually a super nice looking piece.

This one is #1 of 95 and it will be worn in rotation like every watch should.

Nice. Is that a HE valve on the side? I wonder if you wouldn't mind sending a picture to Omega so they can see how easy it is to make one that's not an embarrassing eyesore.

Yes. This is 1000 metre/3300 ft diver. This is why I can’t take the Seamaster seriously. Omega’s HEV valve looks like this to me:

I don’t think this strap made the Watch look very good at all.

It wasn't great but it wasn't terrible either 🤔

At any rate, it remains unworn and uncut. I don’t mind putting it away like that since it is part of a limited edition. I can wear the watch without making irreversible changes like cutting the factory strap.

Plus, it looks way, way better on the black rubber.
