NA / Needed a bit of summer in my life! Enter the Scurfa Treasure Seeker

Now I wasn’t planning on getting a new watch (actually had deliberately postponed any new acquisitions to next year) but having this really dreary and wet summer had me scouring the internet for a fun, yellow dial watch. Just something to remind me that there IS actually something warm and shiny behind those grey clouds. After a bit of research I stumbled on the Scurfa - a microbrand founded by Paul Scurfield, a professional diver. The original Scurfa Diver One which also comes in yellow is a fine watch as well, but i think the Treasure Seeker is better looking - and an automatic (Miyota 9015)! Other key specs:

  • 41mm x 49mm x 20mm

  • Double domed sapphire crystal with ARC on the underside

  • 300m ~ 1000ft WR

  • 120 click unidirectional bezel

And of course that great looking yellow honeycomb dial and its solid  credentials.

So, only a few days after hitting the ‘check-out’ button, this was delivered (yeah, there was a DHL box as well..)

Inside this (well, after I had the strap changed, it comes with a metal bracelet fitted / which could not be swapped by Scurfa because Paul apparentlt is offshore right now :)

(Note: the strap is actually black, but my iPhone refuses to acknowledge that)

With the beautiful embossed casebook:

And on the wrist:

So, happy as an 8-year old with my new toy :-) Really lights up my day / makes me smile. And waddayaknow: the actual sun has come out just now!

NOW you're done for the rest of the year.

Until you buy another.

(Beautiful watch, great choice! Love the yellow!)

It's still summer! Great looking watch congrats!

Awesome watch and congrats. You make very good arguments for getting one.

My no new watch summer resolution may be over though if it takes a month to clear customs like my straps from the UK (1 month and counting), it will be a fall watch when delivered.

Have fun.

Looks great. The Scurfa stock shortage is a bummer. I've been wanting to get my hands on a Scurfa for a while.

·

Very nice, wear it well.

·

Love it! I get all kinds of compliments with my yellow diver. Congrats

I love mine!

Absolutely adore mine! The price you pay is incredible considering the quality and level of care from Paul and his partner.

I'm already considering what my next SCURFA will be!

Enjoy!
