Good stuff.....thanks for sharing. That watch would look fantastic on at least a 7¼" wrist or more.

Does anyone have the exact case diameter of the new SD?

Thanks - JJ

I wonder why they chose 3900m to put on the dial if they tested up to 5000m!?!?!

But then again I remember seeing something that said the Sub was tested to about 2000ft, and it was only around the 2000ft mark that the pressure caused the case back to bend, and would have caused the failure of the movement.

I guess better safe then sorry!

In the TZ thread they stated that the number 4000 or even 4500 were not good numbers for the Asian Market but 3900 and 12800 were ok. Go figure that out?
