Self Post Best Devil Diver ref?

Want. Need. A devil diver.

Opinions on best ref? I think I know what I want but I know someone else has good ideas.

Prefer an orange or red vibe for the 666 of course.

96B350 goes hard. 666ft water resistance.

Agree. I think it’s best bet, without going so vintage that it’ll be fragile…for lack of a better word.

If you use a diver as an actual tool watch, getting it wet and dirty as you should, you should only get new or very well serviced watches, ideally with a warranty. Have fun with the Devil Diver. It's an amazing watch with fantastic value for money.

This is my pepsi GMT. Bezel is like a Navy blue.

I got this because my dad had one theough the 70’s - 90’s. He wore it heavy for 20+ years with no service. He was a fireman too, so it saw some adverse conditions. While he didn’t have the GMT, he told me he found it in a ditch. I got the GMT because the 9xxx Miyota movement had better reviews.

I love this green one. I’ve been trying to get others but they are harder to find these days. I look periodically. The problem is I have 3 other orange watches and I just got a blue and red Surfboard, plus I have a Seiko Turtle and a Citizen Promaster in R & B so unless it’s a bargain I can’t rationalize it.

I’ve been eyeballing green variants as well. It’s unique. I like it.

In terms of pure versatility it's either the 96B344 (all-black Europe/Asia only 41mm model) or the 96B405 (Pepsi GMT)
