Re: Far More than 20 Diver 100s
In Response To: Far More than 20 Diver 100s ()

Jeff, the watches coming with the 11630 diver p bezel: I know most of them are build up from parts: I deeply believe these didnt exist with this bezel....anyhow we had this dicussion many many times before....I also know the stock where the bezels and parts did come from....anyhow.

For the "real" diver 100 i have seen about 20-25. for the one with 11630 P bezel may be 10.

there are two types: those with a glossy bezel MH and those with a matte bezel MH for the "real diver 100".

so around 30-35 known. may be more on the way but am sure thes have not sold more than eg black pvd and green pvd which i range in total with the same number of watches showed up so far: 30-35.....whilst the gold one i only know 5-6....different dicusiion of course.

: This is a nice looking pair, but to suggest that there are only
: 20 in existence seems to be just plain wrong. I would guess that
: we have seen at least three or four dozen of these Diver 100
: Autavias over the last decade, which leads me to believe that
: there were hundreds produced. Perhaps you are referring to the
: bezel / watch combination . . . but I'm not sure.

: With all due respect, I don't think we help the hobby with claims
: of "one of five known"; "10% of total in
: existence"; “rarest execution”; etc. They are great
: timepieces; admired by enthusiasts; but to suggest that we only
: know of 20 is more a statement about our limited knowledge than
: it is a meaningful statement about the history of these watches.

: I recognize that this is my own pet peeve; of course, all of us can
: describe the watches as we see fit and make whatever claims we
: might like to make!!
