My vintage orange divesuit came today! :-)

No problem with the chunk taken out of the sleeve..The watch filled the space well!
I'm happy! lol

Looks very good on him indeed.

Looks great, can't ask for better than that!

Thanks Bri!

It actually looks as though the cut was intentionally made to allow the diving watch to sit comfortably! How good is that?
What a great find to replace your childhood one. There can't be too many left in such good condition.

NOW remember I ordered another orange wetsuit first BEFORE I ordered the wetsuit with chunk taken out of sleeve because I thought I'd never find a good one...
Well both sets of wetsuits came today... The better one I have on my childhood Joe which I posted pics of above...(one with chunk taken out of sleeve..)

The second orange vintage wetsuit I put on a old Joe I use to take pics...The pants are in good shape but the
top has some rips and black marks...But all in all not to bad..

Nothing wrong with a little wear on a wetsuit.
The real things don't stay pristine for all that long when they are in use.
Great location you have found for the photos. The water looks perfect with the rippling effect and the reflection.

Your "secret dive spot" location is perfect for aquatic adventure photos!

Your divers are looking good in their new-old gear! This should keep 'em equipped for a few more years, at least!

I got around to putting a AT sticker on my Sea Adventurer scuba diver today..

Adventure Team aquanaut is now ready for... adventure!

sticker down a bit...lol

Another "stickler" for detail?
And just look how beautifully his diving watch sits into the wetsuit! Amazing!

Lookin' good!!!

I always find it interesting the things one notices in photos that you don't see when it's right in front of you.

Oh me too Brian!
You spend hours setting up some dio. and then even more time looking through the lens to make sure it's all just as you want it, ....only to then look at the pics. LATER (after you've pulled the setup to pieces of course ) and see something really annoying glaring out at you that you somehow missed.

Thanks guys!

That dive watch is broken..I broke it years ago...Plastic band broke..(brittle)
Anyhow I fixed it with black electrical Tape...lol..So almost the entire band is black tape...lol

I do have a unbroken dive watch just like it stored...

I was actually just alluding to the way it sits so perfectly in the hole that was of concern when you were considering purchase of the wetsuit.

Yes I know...

I just felt the need to say the watch was broken...
