Well guys,I just picked up another!!!

Actually it was to replace my old Sea Dweller that I sold earlier this year and discovered I could not live without afterall......

It's a little banged up,but hey,an easy fix.......I'm rebrushing the bracelet as we speak and a new bezel insert will be done soon(Before the end of the week!).....After that she will be back in pristine shape and ready for the depths!!!!

Sorry about the pics but I'll add some more soon!!!!

Are you brushing the bracelet yourself, and if so, how?

sleddog · 4 October 2009, 02:45 AM

Yep,doing it myself.....Just using a fine scotchbrite pad and sanding sponge!! Will use the brush pen last....Very easy to do and comes up new!!

sleddog · 4 October 2009, 04:18 AM

Well the bracelet is all fixed up and stored away...Just need to do the insert replace and shes done!!
Put her on a rubber dive strap though for everday and diving use!!! Opinions??

JJ Irani · 4 October 2009, 04:19 AM

Thanks for posting!!!
This SD is more my everyday wearer and dive mate.....Just like it better on this for mowing the lawn,changing the oil,etc....All my others have there bracelets on so when I feel the need for the Rolex look,just switch watches!! + I like the low key look once in a while!!!!

Thanx Rebel(Mark) & Deserted......The SD is (to me)a watch thats perfect in every way..! This model was my first Rolex (not my last) and will always be close to my heart for that reason!!! I have a totally different respect for Rolex after that purchase but still hold it dear........

DDinc · 22 November 2009, 12:08 PM

wonderful time piece. congrats on replacing your baby! love the strap btw

sleddog · 23 November 2009, 02:33 AM

Hi guys.....The strap is from the UK....
I got it online by recommendation from another member here!!!
If you go to divestraps.com you can find many different rubber and nylon straps...I highly recommend them as well...This particular one is very comfortable and great quality!!! Not cheap,but worth it......
I got it in a 24mm and had it notched at the lugs so the outer edge of the band sits flush to the outer edge of the lug arms.......You can also get different colour stitching to!!
