Alarm Dive watch... not sure about that

[jbcollier]

There is no doubt this is a "rare" watch but valuable? I'm not so sure. They started asking multiple thousands and my curiosity got the better of me when the price hit $900US.

First, clearly not a compressor case. It has multiple o-rings so it was "waterproof" to a certain extent but not a full dive watch to my mind. Some signs of water incursion (no serious corrosion, thankfully) so it clearly saw at least some water time. I'll get it serviced. It's interesting enough to add to the collection. Am I going to search the earth looking for a mint version? Nope!

Wow, the whole idea sounds crazy with an alarm watch combined with a diver!

But is this watch legit at all, never heard of it before?

Neither had I but it sure looks legit in the flesh.

Cool!
That’s the best with our hobby, you learn something new every day!

Don’t see any alarm details on the movement though?

I had one in NOS and sold it years ago. Something I regret now

Btw @Hugger69 , some of the most iconic divers are alarm watches like the JLC Memovox Polaris
