Hi guys,

As we know, not only pilots wear an aviator watch and those who dives buy diver watches. For styling and personal preference, which style do u guys prefer? And also, state the brands that you like or own for these two categories.

I prefer Diver... and below are my preferred models (not according to rank)
1. AP Roo Diver 2010 model
2. Most PAM models
3. Rolex Subc

Both diver and aviator.

G.MAC · « **Reply #5 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:37:08 PM »

Both although my diver to aviator ratio in my collection is 9:2.

Picking up my 1st Aviator from Hush soon.
No preference as long as the dial is not too cluttered.

I m into Diver's! As i am a diver myself! For me..aviator seems to have a little too much of indication on it! And in most of time, making them looks complicated!

i like divers
knowing my watch is water resist up to 200m gives me confidence

dennis.T · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2011, 04:58:46 PM »

i like both but my diver to aviator ratio in my humble collection is 10:0. i dont even have a aviator watch

sshark · « **Reply #11 on:** May 22, 2011, 06:43:36 PM »

I love both diver and aviator style but somehow i got more diver watchers than pilot's. The ratio is 5 : 1

It is perhaps pilot-style watches are about the same, it has limited designs or Rolex dun make them, just kidding.. hmmm i dun see air-king as pilot watch..

Yeah, I like divers too. Too bad I'm not water resistant up to 200m

chrisyen · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2011, 08:44:39 PM »

Like both... But prefer divers bcoz normally divers tough!

Rolex dssd
ball hydrocarbon series
sinn u1
damasko (pilot dial with divers bezel)
omega seamaster 200 n 1200
pams
zinex trimix 2000
enzo mechana em001
seiko mm300

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #14 on:** May 23, 2011, 05:43:22 PM »

Don't have much preference but I do admit I have more divers than aviators if I take account of my Seikos in the equation but minus that i have

For Air:
1. Wempe Zeitmeister Aviator
2. Sinn 857s

For Land:
1. Tudor Prince Chrono

For Sea:
1. Panerai 112
2. Rolex 14060M

So it's pretty even I guess.

Furthermore i'dont really care about the "toughness" of a diver's watch because the only thing I dive for is muff

G.MAC · « **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2011, 05:51:29 PM »

I think even the watches' style in the market is leaning more towards the divers.

Horous · « **Reply #16 on:** June 16, 2011, 08:39:04 PM »

I think Divers watch have better built interms of durability as some people actually take their watch down for diving as compare to aviator. In addition, they have better readings in the dark. Therefore, DIVER!!

May be only better reading in the water not on the ground
