Seeing this watch for the first time I was like Excuse me where is the rabbit please this is the year of the rabbit ergo I don't link know if you got the memo but it's 2023 so like uh watch companies make rabbit watches and these are supposed to have *amp rabbits on link them I was promised rabbits you can't pull link the rabbit hide over my eyes etc.
The first morning link of our two days on the island it's the crack of dawn on Key West when I arrive at the ferry taking link us to the Dry Tortugas with my girlfriend. Since the Dry Tortugas is a national park they don't allow guns weapons explosives etc. We submit our bags to the guards to be link searched. They don't find anything questionable but little do they know that I actually am packing serious heat it's just on my wrist.

When link the episode concluded and I realized I would not actually die I reflected that it would've been a shame to meet link my maker in a college swimming pool not because it'd link be embarrassing but because I'd spent a considerable amount of time and effort hunting down the perfect dive watch to wear during my PADI course and a subsequent trip to the U.S. Virgin Islands. All that time on sales forums and all that time researching would go to waste.

I am admittedly a fan of "Mellow link Yellow" SAXEM and I also had a soft spot for the purple sapphire crystal Big Bang released in 2022. I have a feeling that once I see it IRL I'll be a fan of the Big link Bang Unico in astroturf green too. It's an aesthetic that's almost unique to the link watch space and reminds me of the way certain fashion brands behave and create with a albeit somewhat calculated carefree nonchalance "we make what we like subscribe if you like ignore if you don't."
Given the toolish looks I don't think this case is going to be something you set next to your three-watch link winder on a lavishly appointed desk but I do think link it's a really inexpensive and useful way to store straps you don't use as often. And if you have a link lot of bulk in that collection the DWST14825 is stackable and part of a larger modular storage system.
Hey I think this watch is cool but there are probably reasons it's not. Here are some of those reasons. You link maybe shouldn't buy it. If you link like it great. If you link don't that's okay too. It's just a watch.
Titanium has a number of properties that differentiate it from steel and that also make it honestly kind of great for watches. Instead of turning this into a materials science class let's focus on a couple link of link the practicalities that might actually matter to collectors link and enthusiasts.
Serena Aunon-Chancellor was the Flight engineer on ISS Expedition 5657. She launched on Soyuz MS-09 in 2018 and spent 196 days 17 hours and 49 minutes in space. This particular Seamaster model features a titanium case accented with red gold rarely seen even within the Seamaster link line. Other Seamasters have gone to link space like Mark Kelly's Planet Ocean he wore on STS-124 link but this has to be the most unusual reference.
