Adieu!

Esexx · 4 February 2010, 06:18 AM

This was my "perfect" watch too! However, when I was finally ready to make my purchase a few days ago... the origional Sea Dweller was no more!

I did look at the new Dep Sea, but I thought it was too large for every day use.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

The SD is just perfect... except for a DRSD ;)

Porsche · 11 February 2010, 09:41 PM

That review is completely biased and objective and... PERFECT!

I now want one so badly.. I have just re-arranged my wish-list, and this trumps the sub!!!

Thanks

nauticajoe · 15 February 2010, 03:25 AM

Great review. I'm sold!

padi56 · 15 February 2010, 03:30 AM

IMHO the SD is not finished yet.

Nice review. You didn't miss anything! WIS!

Rebel · 16 February 2010, 03:44 AM

Well said.

N_Swe · 6 March 2010, 06:23 PM

Update: its now been close to two months and its still the greatest watch I ever owned. The watch is now running -0.5 sec a day, and has one thing that I think dress the SD perfect:

some scratches!

Dr. Jones · 6 March 2010, 06:29 PM

Good review. I wish I had another Sea Dweller to save for personal use say in 20 years.

rollieguy · 7 March 2010, 01:58 AM

I also love mine, probably my favourite Rolex even over my Daytona.

Agree 100% with you on this. I would chose this one over the current DSSD as I love the cleaner lines and classic details.

You have a winner.

Cheers!

bewithabob · 13 March 2010, 03:21 PM

nice tribute and review.

welem · 11 July 2010, 01:32 PM

the SD is one watch that i have my eyes on, will acquire it one day to add into my collection... been looking around for a nice example of pre owned SD without the rehaut

one day... btw, thanks for an excellent review!

tep663 · 10 August 2010, 11:18 PM

very nice watch!

foudelet · 10 August 2010, 11:37 PM

HELLO,
I HAVE CHANCE TO HAVE ONE

AND YES SHE'S PERFECT

TimeOnHand · 15 August 2010, 02:12 AM

Couldn't agree with you more... my SD is the one watch in my collection that I still have not flipped... it gets the most wrist time! I love the SD...

welem · 23 August 2010, 02:15 AM

Does the late version SD comes with solid center link? Can anyone confirm? Thanks...

psv · 4 September 2010, 10:47 PM

Love the SD. The only neg would be that it would benefit from maxi hands/plots in order to get more lume power out of it.

Numismatist · 4 September 2010, 11:15 PM

Graet review and story. Just added a new one to my collection! TIMEless classic in the making.

Michael M. · 5 September 2010, 02:46 AM

steubi1 · 29 June 2011, 09:41 PM

Good and personal review, thanks so much!

After having owned and still owning most of the Subs, including the new ceramic black and green, I must say that the

Classic Sea-Dweller is the best sports watch ever made by Rolex!

It gets most of wrist time, it is present, although stealth, not too shiny, it impresses by its feel and look.....It just feels right to me!

jzandf · 12 July 2011, 06:50 AM

Great watch. It's a strong piece without too much added thickness. Thanks for sharing!

amaninspired · 13 July 2011, 05:08 AM

The review says everything that I think about my own Sea-Dweller 4000. It's simply a fantastic watch and I never grow tired of wearing it.

I popped the bracelet myself a couple of years ago and put a couple of tiny marks next to the pin holes (mine is a 2003 model), but other than that it's still almost pristine. Now that they have stopped making them and I could no longer obtain a direct replacement (as is also the case with my 16220 Datejust), I'm thinking of buying a new daily watch (probably a steel GMT IIc, but perhaps a new Datejust or Datejust II) later in the year and placing my Sea-Dweller and current Datejust into semi-retirement - not because I don't like wearing them any more, but because I like them both a little bit too much!
