Jones & Horan auction
any one going to the auction?
I have been promising myself to go but
looks like scubadiving/deepsea fishing at Cortez sea won again.

I wanted to but not this year. Trust me, 10 years from now the fishing memory will get you through many days. No one will remember the watches they bought there. Have a blast, post pictures!

so true but catching a shark with my son beats any watch I have ever found.

I didn't see anything among the American railroad watches that made my heart skip a beat, so IMHO you're not missing much.

Scuba and fishing wins hands down. Look at watches when you can only dream of the other two!

Oh and post pics!

Wow Mike, Truk Lagoon is on my bucket list, along with Pupua and the Red Sea. Or at least they were when I was an active diver. I haven't dove (dived? Wore scuba and went under water?) for about 10 years, but it's something I'd like to get back to one of these days.

Evan, I was fortunate to dive Truk (Chuuk) three times, Guam, Tonga Fiji, Tahiti, Cook Islands, New Zealand, Yap, Palau, The Maldives and too many Mexican locations to mention, along with Belize, the Exumas, and many other Carribean sites. You failed to notice my watch!

Peter, that is a Canadian Quartz dive watch of no real consequence. I used a Suunto Cobra, and, a Mares Puck II, both air integrated dive computers. I used both for redundancy, (a good thing to have), but they basically negated the need for a watch. That last pic was on the Japanese Submarine, I-190, at about 144 feet so the light was pretty dim.

OK, let's not sabotage this thread any more. Roll Eyes
