The Mike McDermott of Watches

Hanging around, hanging around… kid’s got alligator blood. Can’t get rid of him. 🐊

Every time I think my minds made up to move this watch on, it flashes me that smile and I resolve to give it another year. I just can’t quit you.

Also, a rally strap looks so good on this watch. I know, maybe a taboo for you traditionalists out there… but damn, for a dive watch it just feels so sporty. 🏎

Another lazy shot with the x100v - again not too shabby. 📸

Oh I can understand the struggle, what a nice watch...must be hard to part ways with it. And conventions aside, agree that it looks great on the rally strap, guess the bezel helps. Great watch!

Just means another watch will find itself on the chopping block… the struggle to reduce the collection continues 😂

I can't see me ever selling mine.

I'm not a huge diver guy, but you gotta have one, hey?

I wouldn't call it my 'beater', but it's definitely my Summer weekend watch - not that I hide it away during winter.

It's a crackin' watch with enough history and pedigree to satisfy, it's inexpensive, it's well put together - the case finishing is good for the money, the dial furniture better than good and I love that it uses hesalite and an aluminium insert.

It's an under-appreciated and under-represented watch.

Nice shot btw! ☻

Agreed, it’s a great little package for sure - probably why it continues to find a home in my collection.🍻

Every time I see this watch, I fall in love all over again.

I think she’s trying to tell you that she’s a keeper 😂 Certina’s look great on tons of straps and a strap change is just like getting a new watch. I have a feeling if you ever did part with this watch that it would haunt you, so keep it if you can. I think it’s a beauty!
