Actual Sea Dweller at 5857 feet - it's true!
Well, my backyard is 5857 feet above sea level.
![]() What's the highest elevation your Rolex has ever been to with your feet still on the ground (e.g., no airplane heights!). |

Cool idea.
I would say 12,510ft - the top of Snowmass Mountain. |

Hey, I was on top of Haleakala. At dawn. Talk about friggin' cold! We biked down that windy-ass road afterwards. Did you get to do that?
My pictures are from 15 years ago, so not digital. Plus, no watch, so irrelevant for this thread. ![]() |

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 14,000 feet above sea level in Colorado.
And 16,000 feet below sea level in the Atlantic.

I was part of an expedition that discovered and explored the world's deepest wooden shipwreck, a slave ship that foundered in 1810 in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle. It is the fourth deepest shipwreck ever discovered, and the second deepest to be explored by humans on the bottom (Nos. 2 and 3 were explored by ROVs).

Half of the participants were wearing Submariners. This is, by far, the most common watch among this group of explorers. However, I have now switched to wearing a Sea-Dweller in the sub.
Here are some more photos. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

This dive lasted 16 hours and 35 minutes. The ascent alone was 5 hours and 35 minutes, 5 minutes longer than it took the Trieste to ascend from the bottom of the Marianas Trench when it made the world's deepest dive in 1960. That's a long time to go without heat and a bathroom.
I have also been to the peak of Haleakala. And yes, that was friggin' cold too!

Woah! Was that a crab in the 2nd photo and a lobster in the last at more than 16,000' below sea level?
