Bling or the real thing?

I'm curious: anyone here ever really use their Submariner or Sea-Dweller as a dive watch?

Yes both but prefer my Citizen Aqualand 11,as it gave me more diving related information than a time lapse bezel.And
welcome to TRF visit often and enjoy the forum.

I used to dive...

with my 5513, but I spent so much time admiring the watch, I was not paying attention. Very dangerous at depth.

No, seriously, when I did dive I have always used my watches be they Omega, Rolex or Citizen.

I wear my SD in the pool, does that count?

But IMHO I would doubt if 80% of all Rolex sports watches ever see
water other that the shower or swimming pool.

I don't think the Exp was intended for dumpster diving, John. It doesn't have a sulpher dioxide valve.
