2. What is the maximum depth a professional trained diver can go down to with a special extra thick diving suit and the huge metal helmet on top?
3. Whatever the depth, I'm pretty sure no human being on earth can get anywhere even close to 4,000 ft without being crushed like a tin can. So why this enormous depth rating on the SD when it can never be actually WORN by any man to that depth?

A couple of thoughts...
The first, in my opinion, is that Rolex makes a watch with that rating because people want it, or like it. Yes JJ, that means you!
(and Me!)
Second thought: The rating is for 4,000 ft static water pressure. I wonder what pressure the seals may see if diving into water head first from 20ft? Or taking a spill water sking?
