What Water Depth has your Rolex Seen. I will reveal my answer only when someone has exceeded my depth. Be honest!

My SD has gone down and came back up after 400mm of water!

astcell · 22 February 2007, 01:47 AM

First Rolex saw about 70 feet, SCUBA.

Erix · 22 February 2007, 01:48 AM

Max 5m...

MRQturbo · 22 February 2007, 02:05 AM

omg..they're waterproof???.....jk..mine never sees water...lol...

SeaGoer · 22 February 2007, 02:16 AM

mine saw 352m once.......... then I woke up...... rough night

tonelar · 22 February 2007, 02:24 AM

Routinely in the bay here we get around 30 foot (9-10m)scuba dives... (most of the bay is actually pretty shallow).
Outside the bay, going for abalone up north or rec diving down in the monterey kelp forests I've been at 45-65 feet (20m) snorkeling and scuba.

Explored a wrecked freighter off Oahu once at 130 feet (60m). One of those "party subs" passed us by as we were ascending... it was trippy waving to the tourists through it's portholes.

I plan on getting a night dive in on this upcoming visit to the islands. Maybe while I'm on Maui.

WHERE ARE ALL THE REASSURANCES OF ROLEX'S INDESTRUCTIBILITY? I AM NOT SEEING EXTREME PROVE OR CONFIDENCE HERE SO FAR!

First are we talking about scuba or professional diving,and if Scuba what are your qualifications,and are you saying you have gone deeper than 60m.

Solo118 · 22 February 2007, 03:35 AM

My question asks what depth has your Rolex seen. It does not specify how it got there, only that it actually did to the best of your knowledge.

I am NAUI Qualified. I, my person has been down to 120 feet, and that was deep enough for me!

Ragu · 22 February 2007, 04:17 AM

During the Florida Lobster mini-season while being dragged behind the boat we’d be looking for them tasty crustaceans.

Usually they were between 10-15 feet down depending on the tide.

JJ Irani · 22 February 2007, 04:18 AM

Wonder where this thread is going eventually, guys?

This wasn't your original question... you might want to ease up on the shouting.
As far as confidence goes...
I can't think of a watch I'd rather have with me, straining to reach the rear axle of a car that just launched into the SF bay and is now mired in about 2 feet of mud.

nko51 · 22 February 2007, 05:10 AM

Here is my depth (Approx 290 yds). Here is my secret: First you get a Cabella Salt Striker fishing rod, with a Shimano Stella
20000FA, spinning reel, loaded with 300 yds of Stren Super Braid 30lb test fishing line. Get someone to take you off
shore about 25 miles. Stop the boat, check the depth finder to make sure you have enough depth. Tie 5 loops of line around
the bracelet, and lower it all the way down until you have only a dozen or so wraps left on your reel. Whalah!.. there you have it!
Oh! bye the way, first make sure it's a 1000' sub, and crown is screwed in properly before lowering. You are probably asking
yourself, why did this idiot do it? Long story short, during a off shore fishing trip this past September a non believer of Rolex
quality made me a bet that my Rolex Sub 14060M was no better than a Seiko Dive watch. I said how much! He said $200, I said
plus $50, for every 100' deeper than 300', he said your on loser!. I walked away that day with $450, a very nice fishing trip indeed.
