Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we discuss our favorite divers from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. We also offer more affordable alternatives. Enjoy this lengthy episode! For our listeners, the watch content begins after 27 minutes.

We’re receiving some great show ideas from our listeners. For example, today’s show on our favorite divers from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s came from our chat group. We aim to please with this discussion, and it’s one of our longest recordings yet!

favorite divers from the '60s — Doxa Sub 300T Sharkhunter

Handgelenkskontrolle

We kick off our show with a lengthy chat about TV shows. The Penguin, Bad Sisters, and Silo are some of the titles we discuss. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, we’re both wearing some of our favorite divers. Balazs kicks it off with his Doxa Sub 300T Sharkhunter, a big dive watch from the late ’60s. Mike is wearing his early ’70s Rolex 1680 Red Submariner.

  • Rolex Submariner 5512 / 5513
