I have been called the Sea Dweller Nazi by a couple of ppl today

Honestly I dont mind being branded as the biggest fan of the SD, but I prefer to be called Father SD. I will preach to the non-believers and pass on the good word to everyone I meet

I really love my SD, my DJ and GMT2 are great watches but I feel as if I could drag my SD behind my car from Toronto to LA and it would still be working fine (with such a thick case, most of the metal will probably still be there

)

Hey Roger, I found that watch blah and boring so I sent it on the way.

mike · 18 July 2005, 08:15 AM

Uh,Roger please be sure to take it off your wrist first.

Manatee · 18 July 2005, 11:41 AM

I've never wanted a Sea-Dweller. Hmmm... what's the opposite of a Nazi?

Peter, this is sort of where I found myself, after I bought one. The watch just never smiled at me, it was very nice, but just not for me at all.

Fair enough, it takes a REAL man to wear the SD

j/k

I know the watch isnt for everyone and I am happy for you guys that prefer the Leopard over the SD HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

dman · 18 July 2005, 01:33 PM

To be honest, I never had any love for that watch. Call it a real man or whatever, but it did nothing for me. I still like the YM as it always smiles at me, the GMT since it is vintage and looks great and the Pam which I traded the SD has gotten more love in a few weeks than the SD ever did or would have.

Boooo

The SD isnt for everyone (I was just playing with you with the Real Man comment

, there are other things about you that makes you a lesser man and not just a watch

)

For me I dont even know why I love the watch so much, I just do. I am probably the 1 in 10000000 that still doesnt like the green bezel LV too so I guess I am weird like that LOL

JJ Irani · 18 July 2005, 04:06 PM

The SD is and always will be a superb watch.....hopefully, some day I get mine back!!!

Welcome back Peter.

padi56 · 18 July 2005, 05:49 PM

1980s Transitional Ref.16660 Mat dial
This was my Fathers watch,

Rockrolex · 18 July 2005, 10:55 PM

Sorry, Roger, but the SD does absolutely nothing for me. It seems all out of proportion and the lack of a cyclops just makes the date window seem much too small for the overall size of the watch.

So I guess you are in that minority of SD lovers.

P.S. the LV Sub does nothing for me either. There we are in agreement.

padi56 · 18 July 2005, 11:11 PM

Well Ed I love the SD have two,have a sub as well, but myself not a great cycops fan on sports watches.

And the cyclops is one of the things I love about most Rollies. Vive la difference.

padi56 · 18 July 2005, 11:19 PM

Well mate we will agree to differ.

I'm still thinking about getting a cyclops for my Daytona. :-) I can always remove it if my sense of humor fades with age. ;-)

Try it with 3 peter one for each sub dial,now that will be a nice
conversation ,and very humorous piece

Manatee · 18 July 2005, 11:38 PM

That would be a good idea too, Padi.

I get so tired of people gushing over the Daytona, and talking about it like some heaven-sent icon, that I'd like to make a point that it's just a wristwatch -- a piece of property.

Whenever I'm wearing it at a watch store, other customers (male) fawn over it like it's the Holy Grail. I'd like to see their faces when this annointed item has silly, irreverent adornments.

Peter, why do I think that you would do that just for the shock value, LMAO!!

Manatee · 19 July 2005, 09:02 AM

Absolutely! That's part of the fun.

Well I myself don't like the new Daytona,could just about live with the TT.Prefer the
dial on the Zenith movement ver.But a 6263 with the new Daytona movement,that
would make me buy one.

Rockrolex · 19 July 2005, 10:44 PM

There's really only one Daytona that I would want. That's the new movement meteorite. But Rob won't come down in price on his to make it fall even within the realm of possibility.

padi56 · 20 July 2005, 02:37 AM

Meteorite dial is very hard to read in certain lighting conditions, a friend of mine sold his after a week..

Most dials are hard to read in the dark (once the luminova wears off the Sub).
