Submariner ND COSC

[Mockingbird]

I have a few questions about this model:

1. Is it true that it was discontinued?
2. What is the US retail price of this from an AD?
3. How rugged is this watch? Would it be possible to play sports with it? Would it withstand hits against something (right on the crystal) hard at a reasonable speed? (not as hard as using it as a hammer per se, but the usual bumps and hits of life)
4. If you have one, have you ever considered selling it, why?

Thanks in ahead.

How hard would it be to obtain the non COSC approved model? More expensive? Less? The two missing lines of text make it look nicer IMO.
