Royal Navy Clearance Diver Rolex Deepsea
Special Edition Deepsea Sea dweller for the clearance Diving Branch, 50 pieces only, with the fleet diving squadron crest and our initials engraved in the case back all done by Rolex. This is to celebrate over 60 years of the Diving Branch. Obviously only being issued to serving personnel. As you know Rolex only do this very, very rarely the last time being the Italian State Police Diving unit in 2008 where 78 pieces were produced.
This has been in the pipeline for a very long time, and Rolex only agreed (so I'm told) because of the past history with the R.N and Issuing the now extremely sought after Military Submariner or Milsub in the late 70,s Thanks |

With the Royal Navy budget cuts it's hard to imagine them spending half a million dollars on watches. Is this a "private" custom job??

Wow...Really SUPER. Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to see a more "dead on" straight shot of the caseback, please?
