Now go pick up the rubber and you will be set.

Rolex missed the boat big time by only offering a bracelet on their divers. Other brands have so much to offer once you venture out a bit. It is really nice to own a watch that you can wear it on a bracelet, rubber or on a leather strap.

Enjoy your new SO!

Very nice watch!

However, what bottered me about it when I first saw it is that on the bezel it reads 60 ' ' ' | ' ' ' ' | ' ' ' 15 instead of 60 ' ' ' ' | ' ' ' ' | ' ' ' ' 15

Yeah that and there is not a starting point like the pearl on my DSSD..I dont plan on diving 2000M/6600FT deep

maybe rolex will reconsider the subs depth...

Dial should have had all stick markers. two positions with arabics throws it off balance

I disagree, differentiating cardinal points on a dial makes it much easier to orient and read the time in the dark.

At 1st glance I would agree. After wearing it all day it works well with the watch.
