Has anyone seen Mike O'leary's page before? He has spent years as a military and commercial diver and has a tremendous affection for Rolex divers. I just stumbled across his page, sorry if it's been posted before. I wonder if he's a member?

Yes - very interesting read!

That was one of the first pieces I ever read. It was really what set me off on a mission for a submariner. I remember reading the Comex story and I was hooked.

Great article, and what a collection of Submariners!

Super impressive collection of divers, and even cooler that they were all actually put to the test.

I just keep wondering what Mike would say about all of our, "I'm afraid to swim/shower with it" threads.

Great read as I look to join the club later this year with a SubC.

"Its a long story, but many divers have traded their Rolex diving watches in bars all over the world for many reasons."

Would love to hear what they were traded for!

A great read, thanks for posting. Stuff like this what Rolex is all about for me and no mention of "entry level" Submariners from this chap but what does he know
