In this months issue, weve got the scoop on Shackletons whiskey, but according to the AP, more frozen food has been discovered in the Arctic: two blocks of New Zealand butter, to be exact. The butter was found in the hut used by British replica Rolex Sports Models watch explorer Robert Falcon Scott during his failed 19101912 expedition. Recent deterioration of the hut had prompted the Antarctic Heritage Trust to begin a preservation project, and thats when the butter was discovered. Apparently, the butters pretty ripe, but hey if they find some frozen sugar and cinnamon, we can make 18thcentury Hot Brick Toddies! Lisa Lombardi
Diving watches make for great everyday wearers, it is no replica Breitling watch coincidence that many of us find ourselves wearing them all the time, even when land-locked by hundreds of miles.There are a few that stand out above the rest, those being the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, the Omega Seamaster, and of course the Rolex Submariner.That's not to say other brands weren't slick diving watches in the 1960s, in fact we've featured a great Hamilton diver, and then there is the very desired Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris.Today we have found another 60s diver from a great brand, a brand we don't feature enough here on Hodinkee.
Girard-Perregaux.The model replica Chopard watches we have found for you is called the SS Deep Diver Gyromatic, and it is really a great looking old watch.The case is described as very thin by the seller, which is interesting because most 60s diving watches weren't exactly svelt.This GP features a smaller 34.5mm case and an automatic movement with sweep seconds.Little else is known about this particular watch but we know it is great looking, comes from a very high quality brand, and most importantly here, it is priced very well.This Deep Diver is being offered at $1250, a fraction of what you would pay for a vintage Fifty Fathoms or Submariner.
