Fitting thread. Just wrapped a Rolex Deepsea event, sharing a few snapshots from an event book.

Yes... no one has thought of that stunt, apparently. But people design real equipment, operating at much higher pressures all the time.

It would be strange and unusual, if in 60 years (since 1960), considering all the progress in engineering tools, people were not able to design a better solution. That is given.
But this watch team did not do anything besides just building a pressure vessel. As I mentioned before, today we know how to build them to much higher performance standards. However, I tip my hat to those engineers, who designed, for instance, the manipulator arm Cameron used. Even though it had some issues (leaking fluid) it indeed represented an incredible engineering achievement - being able to actually perform some useful function in that environment. Designing such an apparatus is immeasurably more complicated, than just a simple pressure vessel. When back in 1985 I bought my Sea Dweller I too kept telling people its story. Stories are good, and they sell product. But we should not lose track of realities. |
