Should I take the plastic bezel protector off?
Should I keep the hologram on?
How long before I can flip it for a profit?
What if I could have saved $500 by .......?
How much/soon is the old SD going to go up in value?
Is the old SD a good investment...should I sell my stock portfolio to buy one?

Why does the watch adjust only slightly for diving when at the maximum depth my wrist is likely to be only 2" around anyway?

Best one so far

Next weekend my friends and I are planning to race down to the depth of 300 ft. underwater, which watch should I wear? My new SDDS or my SS Daytona?

Stupid questions or stupid for asking??? I'm not sure I'm entirely on-board with this concept. I know plenty of folks who spend huge money on 160 mph cars yet don't know one end of a torque wrench from another. Such is the way of the world. I find this thread condescending and opportunist. Any question, asked in earnest, deserves a non-derisive answer.

Come on, Pat....you should know me better than that by now. This whole thread was all in good humour.....and you know that's true.

There a difference between laughing about the dumb ass questions we know will come and treating someone badly when they ask one.

for example: will my wrist resist this very heavy watch?

astcell · 6 April 2008, 07:53 PM

If the valve is for helium to escape from, what happens to the other gasses?

And how did helium got in there?

mickeydainish · 6 April 2008, 09:42 PM

still loving this thread.... keep em cummin!!! :-)

I think very few of those questions would be asked by someone who can afford to buy a $12.5K wrist watch.

astcell · 7 April 2008, 02:00 AM

Why is there a date on the watch? How many days do they expect me to stay at depth?

......b/c it will take "days" to adjust to the pressuse as you descend to 12,800 feet!

I took off my DS for a few days last week, and when I went to put it on again, it had stopped. I think this is totally unacceptable for a watch in this price range to have such short power reserve. My Seiko Kinetic can go almost six months! Also, now the date seems to change at noon! PLEASE HELP!

This could be such an informative thread but no-one seems to posting any answer?? Should I wait for all the answers before I buy one??
