On the strap until I could get the bracelet sized. Smudgy picture fresh from my local snorkeling spot. On the bracelet now and much better on the wrist.

I keep staring at the dial.

Look what I got

But missing pusher tool to fix the moon. Is there anything which can safely be used as a substitute (ignoring the dire warnings in the manual)?

I've had the watch for about a year now. Love it, but does anyone else's dial crystal also get smudged very easily? I usually have to wipe it with a clean cloth every now and then. Just wondering if this is normal or if I'm overthinking.

Finally received my grail Diver! Had to buy it sight unseen, and it's absolutely gorgeous.
Now that I have it , I'm a bit unsure about the size. I think I can pull it off, but I'd be definitely the largest of the watches I own. Looking for some feedback!

Yay or nay? Alternative is a classic 39.5mm seaQ either green or black.

Also, what do you think about getting the bracelet? And the rubber strap?

Thanks!

2025 Red Gold SeaQ, rubber strap, ref. 1-39-11-17-91-33. The finest watch I’ve ever owned; beats my Rolex by a country mile on everything from toughness to style. Why this brand isn’t more famous is beyond me — but I like it that way.

She’s been in 3 of our 5 oceans. This was yesterday off Islas Santa Catalina, Costa Rica. Very rough sea day but beautiful under the water.

Hey Reddit! I appreciate all of the advice thus far. I am down to two watches. The GO SeaQ bi-metal with the gray dial or the JLC Polaris with the green dial. All opinions and any experience with either is welcome. Would love to see your watch pictures as well of these two fine watches!

I’m torn between which to get next. This will be my main watch for formal events and the office. I’m 25 and want to make sure the watch is age appropriate. I plan to get both but I’ll need to wait >=2 years between so looking for help deciding which to wait on and which to pull the trigger on

For reference, my collection is on pic 3- my favorites are a violet version of the GS Shunbun and a GS Sport GMT, so neither the GO nor the JLC will repeat a piece I already have

I was a bit curious about this when I realized that my 2021 blue chronograph’s case number was actually chronological. I think they stopped doing this in 2022 or so when they switched the font on the brand name on the caseback and traded the dart indices for batons with lumen. Anyway, mine, as you can see, is no. 1303. Figuring they probably make a round number of these each year, and calculating that production on the 70s Chonos started in 2014, it seems as if they make about 165 or 170 each year (including the year 2014, mine came out in the 8th year). There weren’t enough photos with visible numbering online for me to figure out if the case numbers were chronological by dial color or just in general. Please weigh in if you know. Regardless, these are still pretty rare.

Post a photo of yours below if you own one. I’d love to see how many people following this forum do. Maybe we can have a meetup! Haha!

I wanted to swap the bracelet for something lighter in the warmer months.

Hi all - could anyone let me know if this watch seems authentic or not? Appreciate it!

The strap also fits with the original signed buckle. Watch Ref: 38-42 caliber
