Very informing. Also, for those interested in more Sea Dweller history check out Perezscope side by side comparison of every single red in existence

Enjoy!
This is an aboslutely phenomenal read. The Sea Dweller/Submariner, and the diving experiments of the 60s/70s is what got me into Rolex, and into owning the 116610LN I have today. I may be only 24, but this made me feel like I was 14 again learning about Comex in my biology class.

11/10 - I freakin' loved this.
