Gold on a dive boat
By Tom Hargreaves, Falmouth, Cornwall ยท
Yellow gold and steel, blue dial, blue bezel. On a rocking RIB in a force four, with everyone in faded black neoprene, this would look like someone had brought a trumpet to a funeral.
It's the same Sub underneath: 41 mm, 12.5 mm, 300 m, 3235, 70 hours, Glidelock. A fine diver. But at $16,000 to $16,600, that's $5,000 or so for gold you'll scratch on the first ladder. It's for the dinner, not the dive. Lovely blue though, I'll give it that.
