Those socks are awesome, when you first see the pic you think it is a new Rolex item. Besides my favorite color is Green!

Well, the socks were specified to be the green and gold Rolex colors. We actually spent a fair amount of time finding the closest shade of green yarn in the appropriate gauge...

Um...no....it's waterproof down to 100 meters. Any Rolex with "Oyster" on the dial goes at least that deep.
