Mine too. I'm not a cyclops fan so this watch ticked all the boxes for a classic timeless design.
It feels as if
That photo could have been taken 30 years ago. I'm not sure why, possibly there's no other time reference point.
Actually it was taken in 2014 off my balcony in Maui overlooking Lanai.
I think I bought it in 2008ish and still have it. My only Rolex and one I wouldn't part with.
That really is a stunning looking Rolex Sea Dweller
That is my favourite Rolex. I had one and I can't even remember what madness made me sell it. Wear and enjoy yours in good health. Marc
These are so excellent
I've been on a binge of dive watch wrist-testing, certainly to the annoyance and frustration of every Boston watch seller. I'm still not sure it's the watch for me but jeez, a 5-digit Sea Dweller sure felt great on the wrist compared to the various behemo...
I've got a sweet spot for dive watches too
What else I've you been checking, asking for a friend
Well...
Aside from the Sea Dweller it's been: Older Panerai Submersibles (the 00024) GO SeaQ Fifty Fathoms of every goddamn size and in both titanium and steel Omega PloProf (titanium only! steel just too heavy for comfort) and, of course, Doxas of every goddamn ...
These also had the smaller markers and hands than the never versions with the maxi dials.
I also like the SUB no date models from back then. Always loved this picture.... ...
I also love the maxi dial 1665 Sea Dwellers
That would be a frustrating combo of expense and non-functionality, though--sort of a different thing than what I've been looking for lately!
Yeah the dials and markers have changed sizes over the years but I'm not sure when the hands changed to bigger sizes.
Mine is an "F" serial number which is about a 2006 I think. And it still has the thinner hands.
Really beautiful picture,
The watch in its perfect environment, definitely looks great without the cyclops.
