Once you don a Rolex on, how can you ever turn back?

Thank you all for the welcome and congratulations.. ! I didn't have any expectation so I can't really say that it exceeded my expectation, but it is definitely a very well build watch!!

The bezel action is top notch! Better than my Omega (although my Omega SMPC is 15+ yrs old) for sure! The stem feels very solid. (I think the design is different than most other brands to begin with..)

Bracelet is another highlight, although it makes some noise at the moment (metal to metal between the links and the screws / pins?), but I assume that it will "break in" eventually.

Anyway, nothing you Rolex owners don't already know.. ha ha!

bracelet squeaking is normal and will go away with some wear.

Found it interesting that 3 different companies with 3 different approaches for saturation diving:

Seiko - no He escape valve
Rolex - automatic valve
Omega - manual valve
