Mini pioneer diver

Imagine she is 46 years old and she works (a major overhaul was still necessary) and she has been with me since I was 10! No, I haven't worn her for a long time but I have good reasons, my chick wrist has long since become that of a chicken and her 29mm case... But I assure you that she was only water resistant and dived for at least 4 years in an incredible way every summer between 2 and 8 meters in intense apnea. I have figures in mind because one day I melted all the fishing weights that I had fun collecting along the rocks of Antibes and there were 17kg of them. If we say that on average they weighed 20g each and that I brought one up every 5 apneas, that still makes 4250 apneas of chick lungs!!! How can I tell you that for me it was the watch of freedom, of adventure, of the deep, almost the same adventure as the Cousteau museum in Monaco that I had discovered or the world of silence.... I did not yet know Jacques Mayol and fortunately like that I avoided going too low.
