Which models are the most i c o n i c and collectable?

710, 110, 160

They only are cheapshit in cheapshit watches. There are even cheap watches that arent shitty at all and are better for regular diving than any ultraluxury thing.

ITT: boring wankers

Most iconic are different scubadude dials, Komandirskie dials, radio room, the black Zissou and so on.

Cases: 710 is top tier, 420 is pretty good too. Get the 090 if you're a real man.

I have a 420 and I find there's just nothing to the case, so it wears REALLY fucking big.
110 over 420 I'd say

The black and blue "scuba dude" dials are cool. I went with the 710 case.

can someone explain why watchers use jewels?

bearings. the hardened steel pivots rub in brass holes. over time the pivots will warp the holes. jewels are synthetic ruby- really hard. the jewels dont wear easily, and they allow the pivot to rotate very smoothly.

okay but why is it not something simple, like ceramics
