Triumph branded watches, any thought or experiences?

So it’s misleading to say 200m when it really means 20? That’s off by a huge margin.

No the design test is to atmospheres in a sealed chamber with 1 ATM = sea level air pressure of approx 14.7 lbs per sq inch. Pressure increases underwater by approx 1ATM per 10 metres but movement and other factors which reduce the 100% stability of the pressure experienced in a test chamber cause premature failure at lesser depths.

I met a retired deep sea oil industry etc diver once who had about 5 Rolexs and it was apparently a common 'sign on' gift when commencing a new contract. Those Oyster cases really do what they say, but oh boy does somebody pay for it.
 
I'm a diver too so I do understand I just did not figure movement under moisture was that much of a multiplying factor. I have one of those Submariners and it has never failed me. I have not dove with it but it has been on wet boat and bike rides and up the gut of many a deer.

Watches are like bikes a fellow can enjoy a lesser expensive motorcycle just as much as an expensive one. There are some that do however enjoy the more upscale models. I have seen and been apart of the Harley riders that look down in pity on the fellows driving the Japanese machines. I have come out of that type of thinking, thank God, and realize that they enjoy theirs as much as I did my super costly HD CVO.

You wear that proudly and enjoy but do not criticize the bloke wearing the 25K watch. The "make me feel" goes both ways.
 

Heck with my eye site I cannot see all those little dials. I went back to analog watches because I could not read the LED.

Oh I hear ya for sure. One of my latest purchases is a fine beautiful mechanical watch this is worth a few coins but darn it is not easy to read with my old eyes. Last night I was wearing the Omega, the latest one, and went down a dark hall and happened to look down at the new watch. Darn that thing glowed enough to easily read the time in the near dark. I think some watches are to tell time and others are just works of art.
