thanks guys, I double checked the lume this morning, its all green, the picture does look blue though, its just the way the light was hitting it.

someone asked about sitting too high on the wrist. You dont really notice it. It's about the same as a milgauss. What you do notice compared to the submariner 16610 is the thickness of the crystal. The SD crystal is much thicker. I like the clean look without the cyclops, this sea dweller could actually look great without the date. The bracelet is a little larger than the submariner. It's a light watch compared to the SubC, I like the way the older models flow compared to the new models. The new models have their advantages, heavier, better bracelet, etc but the flow and the way they sit on your wrist does not compare to the older models, buy both I guess :)

Solid as a rock. Both the SD and David, that is.

Forgive the noobie question - what is the size and height difference between the classic Seadweller and the Deepsea? I recently tried on a Deepsea at an AD and found the thing much too big for my tiny wrists. Anyone have a wrist shot comparing both?

Thanks
