Literally a handful, for company execs, I believe. They were never in stores.

Great article.

kaiserphoenix · 27 February 2015, 12:00 AM

Great article I agree with pretty much everything there and it applies to me. Particular the purpose built toolness and the toughness. Rolex watches are exceptionally well made and yet look great.

JJL · 27 February 2015, 12:12 AM

So true! I also wasn't aware of the SS DD. Learn something new here everyday!

Thanks for posting
