Eddix, finding a strap or bracelet for the Scurfa Diver One is not a problem unless you want one which fits up against the watch case. I like mesh and thought one would work well on my watch.

I don't know what you mean about the bezel insert, sorry.
 
Well, I guess I'm buying a yellow one. I was waiting to get some bites on my WTB posts looking for a yellow one with a bracelet or even just the bracelet but mesh is an excellent choice with the yellow.

After seeing pictures and responses from Bell Diver owers decided it was time to act.


Lucked out and was able to purchase on the sales forum here from Riddem Driven; perfect transaction with Adam!


So far, my only regret is my inability to take a picture that shows how great the watch looks in person.



Thanks for adding this to the line-up, Paul.

I finally ordered the yellow. I also ordered a shark proof mesh bracelet from Strapcode. I would prefer a straight, non-tapered bracelet but this one will let me know if I like the style on the watch.
 
Congrats Matt. What are your first impressions
 
They're all positive, Brice; great presence without being too large.

The red second hand, lettering and markers give it a pop of color that works well with the polished aspects of the watch.

Love the look, makes me smile.
Couldn't agree more. Love this model. The red works so well and like the polished areas play with the light.

I appreciate that this is a thread about 2020 watches but hopefully you Scurfa fans will know the answer to this one -

I have been offered a second hand blue Diver One ND513RD

It's the one with vintage lume which I rather like.

Can anyone tell me if this model was fitted with a sapphire crystal as the listing on Scurfa web site doesn't mention what the crystal is made of in the specification list?

Thanks

Yes, sapphire. Email Scurfa to hear it from the horse's mouth, he's a stand up guy.

Thanks - I've just had a look at the web pics on his site and sure enough the sapphire crystal is mentioned on the case back! I should have checked but thanks for your quick reply!

The only question is should I buy this one which I believe was limited to a run of 100 (?) or the later model with the 713 movement and the Helios valve (not that I'll ever use it!)

I hate making decisions.....................!
 
I own four: two BD1, a D1-300 and the M.S.19 with a second 500 on the way.

I put the Strapcode mesh on my blue/yellow D1-300 from 2017. It works on the watch. I wish it were thicker and tapered less - maybe to 18mm instead 16mm - or preferably not taper at all. The Strapcode length estimator was spot on, though, and there is actually quite a bit of adjustment available: seven micro-adjustments. I'm using the fourth in - might have been able to go smaller but I didn't second guess the estimator. The clasp is very nice and it really is a finely finished bracelet. It doesn't feel or look "cheap".

I'll probably wear the incoming yellow D1-500 on it and continue looking for another mesh that I like more. Maybe I'll learn to love it. I would go with a Staib Milanese and wore my grey BD1 on one for some time and loved it. They're heavy and have a nice feel to them but I was hoping for something slightly lighter and wanted one with an "unfinished" ends at the lug. Staib doesn't offer that style but they are thicker and don't taper so we'll see.

For reference, I got the Strapcode MC201620B003B-AA 20mm Tapered "SHARK" Mesh Band Stainless Steel Watch Bracelet, V-Clasp, Brushed, Length CD and am wearing it on an 8" wrist.
