Hey all,

Picked this up yesterday:[IMG]

[/IMG]

While I've had a few Subs over the years,this is the first Sea-Dweller I've had.
Wow,very solid no nonsense piece. As has been said the watch is a little heavier and taller than the Sub,but not overly so.
I sized the bracelet to my normal "Sub setting" and found it to be a very comfortable fit with no excessive movement.

The dial,sans the cyclops date lens,has a very clean utilitarian look,as it should in a watch of this type.
I guess that is the one thing that will take a little getting used to,I've always associated the cyclops as being uniquely Rolex.

Initial impression,typical Rolex accuracy,+2sec.

That's a great addition to your Subs.

alpet · 20 July 2005, 12:07 AM

dman · 20 July 2005, 08:53 AM

Hey Mike, is that an OEM authentic sock, those are worth tons if the hologram is still on it mate!!

That is a JJ Irani special.

Seadweller · 29 July 2005, 02:11 AM

Well spotted, I hope I won't get sued by JJ, for breach of copyright !

dman · 29 July 2005, 03:30 AM

Sued? Are you drunk, you may get a package in the mail from JJ with a huge hug and kiss, but not sued. LMAO!!

He is missing that SD so I think you should show even more pics of that bad boy!! LOL!

JJ Irani · 29 July 2005, 04:59 AM

For that you get Tosser No.1 ranking!!

dman · 29 July 2005, 05:01 AM

LOL JJ!!

RogerF · 31 July 2005, 04:43 PM

SD has to be the best, as much as I want that SS Daytona and know that I will love it when I finally get the call I think if I could only have one it would be the SD

Is this what they mean by a quick change artist?

dman · 2 August 2005, 01:46 AM

Quick change, yes. Artist, no.

JJ Irani · 2 August 2005, 04:57 AM

Daren, in the light of certain recent comments and anecdotes, I hereby promote YOU to Tosser No.0...if such a thing is mathematically possible!!

Are you saying Daren is a nothing, a zero, a cipher? Shame, shame. I thought you liked him. Tsk, tsk.

JJ Irani · 2 August 2005, 05:02 AM

He's my zero hero!!

dman · 2 August 2005, 09:27 AM
