Good to see positive feedback on it, one of my fave pieces is the Sea Dweller too. Some watches are too much tool looking to wear in suit but Sea Dweller is not one of them.

I think the SD is a great watch that many times get overlooked. Thanks for the review.

The ceramic bezel really sets it off. Sometimes a "remodel" of an icon misses the mark but for this watch its a home run.

On a side note

I have a little secret to tell you. Grey's buy from AD , sell to you, and make money
So dont throw out buying from AD ( unless Tourneau , boutique, mayor's, ben bridge, or similar).
There are great deals to be had at AD.

For example i am picking uo hulk for $7,550 shipped to me from small midwest AD.
Try finding grey to match that

And I get credit card points, 100,000 to be exact as a new cardholder promo from Chase Sapphire Reserve, valued at $1,500 min

Congratulations!

I have a theory about how the SD retuned to us in its current glory.

There was a boardroom meeting at Rolex Headquarters and it was decided to make the new SD4k more along the lines of the past, but still include all the upgrades of the present.

The group was asked, "Who should design this version to ensure we accomplish what we're after?". "Wilhelm, from the third floor", someone replied. Almost immediately, the younger guy from marketing piped up and said, "But he is ancient, a relic, and probably hasn't come up with a fresh idea since the 70's!".

There was a moment of silence as everyone looked at the boss, as he stood up slowly from behind the head of the table and walked to the large windows overseeing the beautiful Geneva landscape. He gazed outside and calmly said, "Well, it's settled then. This is exactly who we need to head this project for us. Wilhelm is our man."

And this was the remarkable result...
