VERY INTERESTING!! I really like the date placement, and the temp reading. Way cool. But, what is the upside down 30, with a tube missing? Is that a diving thing?

The upside down 30 is part of the inner rotating bezel which can turn bi-directionally using the screw-in crown at 2. You can turn it to set the marker at 12 on the minutes hand before dive. That way you will be able to keep watch on elapse dive time. The temp comes is handy if you are diving in extreme temperatures, such knowledge comes handy before muscles cramp in icy waters.

Ok, if you're diving in waters colder than -5C you got other issues that a watch won't fix.... ;D ;D ;D Brrrrrrrr that's cold just thinking about it!!!!

The watch actually has an operating range from -40 to 60C (-40 to 140F). I wonder if those Russians who claimed the North Pole could have used it on their trip!

By the way, the Diver TMT watch is an LE of 2006 pieces in this DLC titanium case & rubber strap or stainless steel case & S/S bracelet. It's expected before the end of the month.

Wow...DLC Titanium case...that would be super! DLC would increase the case hardness by about 10 times of 316L steel, right?

Selfridges is right next door to me.
Will they be stocking this model regardless, or do they need to be ordered?
