Sea-dweller

Hey all,

Picked this up yesterday:[IMG][/IMG]

While I've had a few Subs over the years,this is the first Sea-Dweller I've had.
Wow,very solid no nonsense piece. As has been said the watch is a little heavier and taller than the Sub,but not overly so.
I sized the bracelet to my normal "Sub setting" and found it to be a very comfortable fit with no excessive movement.

The dial,sans the cyclops date lens,has a very clean utilitarian look,as it should in a watch of this type.
I guess that is the one thing that will take a little getting used to,I've always associated the cyclops as being uniquely Rolex.

Initial impression,typical Rolex accuracy,+2sec.

SD has to be the best, as much as I want that SS Daytona and know that I will love it when I finally get the call I think if I could only have one it would be the SD

JJ, you change the tosser ranking more than you change watches.

Are you saying Daren is a nothing, a zero, a cipher? Shame, shame. I thought you liked him. Tsk, tsk.
