That caliper looks a little off on the left side.

There was another post where someone posted a link to a table of Rolex watch sizes as measured by a jeweler... cannot find it right now though.

I never measured it but it does appear to be less than 40mm accross. I think we should all ask for refunds since our Daytonas don't measure up, lol. They will give us msrp and we take a loss, lol. Jokes aside, the watch does wear a bit small.

 Never thought about it. I thought it was a bit smaller. But the Daytona movement is bigger than that of Sub/SD/YM's 3135. does that mean Daytona movement has less shock absorption capability than the sub/sd/ym?

Off topic but I believe i shaved 1mm off the case lugs of my Submariner Date over the weekend while scuba diving... in a small emergency i had to use my watch to rap on my air tank to get the attention of another diver to prevent him from stumbling into a poisonous stone fish.

John,
Abalone harvesting is largely illegal without permits and so on and so forth. Most diving is recreational and non-interventional, meaning that the activity is largely passive interaction with marine life. |
