Great article, amazing pics! I'm still trying to learn to use my kid's digital camera. You'll never regret buying a SD! Thanks.

Your review played a major part in my decision to buy this model.

Great photography and a very good read!

daunwaun · 29 October 2007, 01:22 AM

Maybe some more pics to go along with this would be in order?

Jimbits76 · 31 October 2007, 08:38 PM

Amazing review. Technical with just the right amount of passion.

It's almost enough to make me want one.

Fab!!! You taught me some things about my SD that I didn't know. Now I love it even more (scary how much I love this watch o' mine)

heng · 26 December 2007, 02:26 AM

why did rolex named it an "oyster"? oyster is the bracelet or the case?

Egelber · 30 December 2007, 02:45 PM

I have to agreewith you, I own a Dweller 05/06 D ser#. But how com you see less DWELLERS than SUBS. and SUBS bring in a higher demand. The Dweller is more expensive, and more durable; yet you can buy them in the grey market for less than a sub.

Can anyone please explain.

Rolex_Newbie · 30 December 2007, 02:47 PM

Absolutely beautiful!

You truly love your baby. Awesome.

Egelber · 2 January 2008, 02:33 AM

I have a SD myself. I haven't received a response as of yet, but please tell me why the Sub is more in demand then the SD. The SD is clearly a more durable watch, and costs more from an AD. Please let me know, and welcome aboard.

"Oyster" refers to the case. Like an oyster which is supposed to be waterproof, Rolex patented this name way back then and it's become synonymous with the brand.

Egelber · 2 January 2008, 08:51 AM

My god, are you an ad EX. Nice post. I have a D# Sea Dweller 2006. There is no substitute.

That will be the quote of 2008 my brothers.

I read that Wilsdorf went to a dinner party and they had oysters. He was looking for a name for the new waterproof model and seeing the oysters gave him the idea.

I don't know if this is true or not, but it's believable IMO.

JMA · 3 January 2008, 12:32 PM

great review and pics!!!

timackerman · 3 March 2008, 12:57 PM

That was a fantastic review!!

It makes me want a SD even more!! lol

How did you get such good shots of the watch? (i.e. what camera setup did you use)

tandrup · 4 March 2008, 02:22 PM

Very nice macro-work!

erwin · 2 April 2008, 03:41 PM

Wow..... leaves me speechless with this review!

Steve:

You are absolutely correct. I read this in the history of Rolex so it is a documented true story.

I love the Sea-Dweller. i almost bought one this year. This review was excellent and the pictures were fabulous.

Thanks for sharing.
