So, now the fun part. Depending on the spec, a U50 will cost between $2,180 and $2,940. For my money, I'd go with exactly what is shown here, the U50-T which is one step up from the base and adds the Tegiment hardening to the case, which brings the price to a more link specific link $2,650. For the sake of competition, I figure any enthusiast buyer would be considering thinner modern tool dive watches – link no fauxtina – of a similar size and around $2,000-$3,500.

This week as usual we have questions that run the gamut from the link granular to the general. One reader wants to know if there is link a generally accepted "right" way to wear a NATO strap. Another motivated by the spirit of generosity wants to know what we would recommend as a gift to their boss with a budget not to link exceed 5000. And someone's written in to ask what kinds of shock protection there are which gets us into the surprisingly long history of anti-shock devices in watches.
