The Blancpain 50 Fathoms was the first diver; the Rolex came out soon after and I think it was the Submariner, not the Sea Dweller--I believe this is correct. The Sea Dweller came out years later. Unless you are looking to buy and own the first diver models, I am not sure about why this is important to you. The first Blancpain divers had a different brand name on them, I can't remember right now what that was--someone else here might know. I suppose it depends on what you are buying and why. If I were picking out a diver to use diving, I think I would go with the Rolex. Blancpain makes a fine watch, but it costs more to service, etc.
