"WTF?"

Kleen up the nomenclature sophomore.

You sure don't need a cyclops on that crystal! The crystal is one big cyclops on its own.

It is the socalled "Deap Sea Special".

Here's an article about it.

A TT version was also made (like the SS one never made to be put on sale but just to be used for experimental purposes). But one of the (RARE) TT versions was sold on auction some time back:

Hey! I've seen this watch for real when I was a kid - in fact probably it was the watch that made me aware of the Rolex brand - it was in the Science Museum in London when I was a kid - I have been meaning to ask them if they still have in their stores.

marshallr47 · 4 February 2008, 08:36 PM

I would be scared to take that out in the sunlight...it would burn the dial.

daveathall · 4 February 2008, 08:41 PM

If you went down 35,798 ft your eyes would look like that.

Dont you just love the accuracy, if it went to 35,800 ft would it stop or break?
