It's the community, stupid.

That is a good-looking watch, and I'm a sucker for domed bezels. One question; is the movement an ETA, Seleta, NH35, or Miyota? Just wondering about future servicing. It may have been in the story, but I just missed it.

If I recall, very bog standard Sellita SW300

Why do you need a 200 m dive watch? Have you ever taken a watch deeper than the bottom of a swimming pool?  Do you decompress aided by the bezel before surfacing?  Don't you think that the utilitarian dials and indices on a dive watch are unattractive?  I will admit that the hands on this watch have a more pleasant shape than most divers.

From the Typsim website: "Chronometer certified Sellita SW300-1, rhodium decorated with blue screws"

The chronometer certification happens at the Besancon Observatory in France, also used by Laurent Ferrier, Kari Voutilainen, and Rexhep Rexhepi (COSC will only test watches made by Swiss brands).

I don't need a 200m dive watch. I don't even need a watch, actually, and for the most part none of us do anymore.
