Title: Longines Legend Diver and HMAS Ovens
Post by: chiewata on April 12, 2015, 09:02:02 AM

Visited Fremantle Maritime Museum last week specifically wanted to join the guided tour for HMAS Ovens but unfortunately all tours fully booked, because of this visit I purposely choose to wear my Longines Legend Diver which I acquired before CNY.

However even-tough can't go in but I do took a few pictures of the submarine from outside, despite being the relic of cold war era and now been decommissioned but its still very magnificent structure as a steel tube of about 6 stories high and as long as a long row of shop-houses can submerged and surface in the sea.

I was just there last weekend with the family. Managed to join the tour. Very tight spaces in the sub. Wore my TT submariner  ;D
