    I debated long before deciding to get the Submariner - the Sea Dweller was the other contender during my decision. This SD model has such a clean look! Congrats! :thumbsup:

    Thanks guys. I've really surprised myself on how different the SD is to my PO on my wrist. I understand now how people say the full size PO is a big 'ol' heavy watch.

    Not in the slightest. If they built it into the crystal from the bottom it would have been fine.

    You have made the right choice.

    I think, the Rolex Sea-Dweller is the best amongst the good diver watches, looks-wise. XYZ.jpg Though I have been an admirer of dress watches, some while go I told myself, it is a watch that I had to have.

    Now the price of a good vintage Sea-Dweller has gone through the roof.

    Thank-you.

    Thank you for your message.

    I did look briefly at the Submariner but i'm not a fan of the cyclops, and the Dweller as well as being a sports watch can be worn as a dress watch IMO, its not as 'chunky' as some of my other dive watches.
    Although the new Dweller is a different animal altogether its as tall as a Scooby snack !!. :)

    Indeed, it is an ingenious and brilliant idea.

    Thank-you.

    Your Rolex Sea-Dweller will never age and you are right, it glows in any environment.

    Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am now still struggling to own a vintage-watch. It has to be an Omega, Rolex or Patek Philippe. These are the three brand-names that have remained closed to my heart.

    Currently, the price of the lower-end Rolex and PP vintage-watches is beyond my imagination. Surely they have gone sky-high in terms of desirability. What is left is an Omega diver watch, which I reckon is a top quality diver watch, for the have-not. The population of franken, fake and molested Omega diver watches is indeed very alarming. The same can be said about Rolex and PP watches, too.

    If I had the money, buying a new watch is out of the question, with the exception of the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea, hands down. Is this because the marketing strategy of Rolex is second to none?

    Thank-you.

    Thank-you.
