[Hope you enjoy reading my review for the Sea-dweller, do feel free to email to me at nimm12@hotmail.com[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the superb and very well written review and testimony on the Sea-Dweller. I couldn't agree with you more! I've owned my SeaDweller now for over 3 years and enjoy her every minute on my wrist!! It's an incredible looking, legendary, high performance and perrenial winner of the highest order for sure!! I don't even know how to swim, but does it matter??? Hell NO!!!! Ha ha. It's simply the best professional deep divers watch around, period. We obviously have great taste!! The feeling I get everytime I put her on my wrist is amazing. Enough Said, huh??? They're now going for over $6,000 easy, but well worth the $$$s if you desire the finest. ENJOY AND BEST REGARDS!! |

Is the sea dweller and the sub basically the same watch except for the depth capacity.

thanks for clarifying, I dont think I will be going much deeper than 50 feet, therefore I will go with the sub.

Awesome review! I recently acquired my first Rolex, a "Z" serial Sea Dweller. A massive piece and most impressive. I had no idea of it's weight or size until I went to an AD and tried one on. After reading this review I had to have one and haven't regretted it for a second.

I recently purchased the lesser-known Ski Dweller. While I don't have use for a dive suit at my current altitude, the Ski Dweller expands quite nicely to fit over a ski glove:
"The Ski Dweller was commissioned by the US Ski Team to handle problems unique to alpine and nordic ski conditions. Depressurization can occur at the high altitudes skiers may experience, which can be up to 2 miles above sea level. This depressurization has been known to pop the Sapphire watch crystal from the bezel. A unique one-way helium escape valve aids in depressurization in ascents to ski country. The watch has an expandable band so that the skier may wear the watch over his ski gloves. The watch has a unidirectional bezel, which in the unfortunate case of avalanche burial, may be used to set the maximum allowable rescue time." |

That's a great watch. I'd like to have one that would fit over my glove like that and that would hold up to really cold conditions. The design is brilliant! I'm doing a lot of skiing near Vancouver, Canada and I'm looking forward to seeing some of the Olympic events in February. That would be a great watch to have!

So, besides the magnification for the date...there's very little difference?

Wrist watches were not gaining favor over pocket watches. Rolex solved this with the first waterproof watch (water resistant), which they coined the "Oyster" for the case design, in reference to the actual oyster. I suppose the "pearl" inside a real oyster is a great reference tool

Sea dweller crown operation
Hi Folks,
Has anyone had experience with the Sea-Dweller screw down crown where after unscrewing it counterclockwise as usual, it doesn't "pop out" until you turn it clockwise once. On most of my other Rolexes the crown pops out as soon as the screw down is unscrewed, I don't have to change direction to get it to pop. Is this a safety feature of Sea Dweller for water resistance or a defect of the coil in the crown? Tony |

I asked the same question before but no reply, properly no answer to this question. IMHO, this is a demand/supply thing. I feel most of the SD owners like the watch itself.....this is my own explanation.

I had a Subdate and a SD and i prefere these two models ;)
More seriously if the Subdate is more in demand it's a valuable question, the presence of the magnifying glass "Cyclops" and the shape of the SD which is a little more thick. Before bying try both ! |
