I thinking of purchasing a Z series sea dweller and would like to know what I can expect to receive for my money (not including the watch of course).

Thanks

Some SD's are not delivered with the tool set. Whether AD's are keeping / stealing them, or Rolex are phasing them out, I don't know.

But my AD assures me that the SD does not come with the tool set anymore.

Hmm!

BTW:

SUPERLATIVE WELCOMING
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED

Expect if thats the case Bo, Rolex is trying to keep costs down,first the anchor and now you say the screw-driver tool.You have to feel sorry for Rolex as I expect they must cost around 30p to make.

Of course, the cost matter plays absolutely no role for Rolex. But what I think is going on is that the SD is losing its "worth" or "role" as a tool watch. IMHO, Rolex knows very well that 99.9 % of those tool sets are / were never used, as 99.9 % of the SD are not used as they "ought" to be used (i.e. professional diving). NO, the SD is just another "office watch", just in a masculine design.

POOF
My SD sails and dives on a regular basis.
That is the reason it was purchased.
I wear something a little more subtle to the office,
like an EXP1

Yessir! I agree. Mine was in the water this weekend too.

Expect the cute receptionist to smile more broadly at you.

I have only a GMTII, so the receptionist has not noticed me yet.

kriesch · 19 June 2007, 02:07 AM

So a box, wallet with dive card, tool kit (maybe), anchor (maybe), authenticity cert.

So I gather there is no standard package?

The anchor is unfortunately no more.

You can read about those strange anchors here:

http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/anchors.html

And of course by searching for "rolex + anchor" here on TRF

What about contents of wallet?
What can you expect to find in it apart from dive card and tool?

The extension link marked "L"

Plus inside the screwdriver / pin remover there will be a BLACK screw.

kriesch · 19 June 2007, 02:43 AM

Should it come with an instruction manual?

Welcome to TRF, pal.

It will come with the same booklet marked SUBMARINER. This is a common booklet for all the Subs (date as well as no-date) and the SD.

The important thing to watch out for is the useful tool kit that comes with a fantastic screwdriver. Some guys have bought SDs with this bit missing!!

Thanks for the info guys it's a great help.
