I came across the DEEP BLUE brand of dive watches a few months back and have been in love with them ever since. Being a Certified Dive instructor for years and having a mixed gas certification and experienced in deep decompression diving in Alaska for over 30 years,

I have experience with quality dive equipment. There is no room for junk when your 200 feet under water.

The watch I keyed in on was DEEP BLUE's SCUBA T100 rated to 30 atmospheres or 990 feet, a depth that no one except highly trained divers on trimix mixed gas ever come close to reaching.

The hunt was on to find this watch. I looked through several dealers in the US, Canada, Europe and thankfully, finally landed in Melbourne, Australia at a company called "Watch Partners".

This company was started in 2011 by the owner, Jack Retman. And when you send them an inquiry, that is who very quickly answers you. Very professional and very customer service orientated. Their website is laid out very well and exceptionally easy to navigate, find the information you seek, complete a purchase and then track your order. Initial prices are listed is AU$ dollars but convert to US$ before check out. The US price is lower numerically.

I ordered the DEEP BLUE SCUBA T100 with expedited shipping, fully insured with tracking and they shipped it the next day, guaranteed. Shipping time was listed as 4-8 days, mine arrived in 7 days, the biggest delay being Customs and a national holiday. Mailing starts off with Australia Post and switches over to the USPS once it hit LAX. Updated tracking was available on both of their websites. This watch landed on my door step in the hands of our postal guy, he grabbed a signature and I grabbed my new DEEP BLUE. Outstanding!

Watch Partners Australia is an authorized dealer of Deep Blue watches for sales and warranty work. I opted for an additional year of warranty. It's cheap insurance. Besides a long list of brand new Deep Blue watches, far more available than on the DEEP BLUE NY website, this company also sells a variety of other quality brands of watches.

Give them a serious look at www.watchpartners.com.au and if you have questions, contact Jack Retman, he'll be happy to help you.

A 5 stars dealer I highly recommend working with.
