My favourite Rolex! I am not normally a Rolex fan, but the Sea Dweller is definitely impressive. It really is quite understated in it's looks, great dimensions, and the fact that it is certified to a depth of over 12,000 ft. impressese the Hell out of me! The fact that I am not a diver has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that depth certifications on watches impress me. As far as looks go, my Steelfish still gets the vote. And a depth certification of 6600ft aint too bad either.
The clasp on the Sea Dweller really gets my attention too.
Enjoy it!
Cheers,
Carl

I'd be happy to help you wear them, if that's what you mean. :P

Your collection is growing very nicely.

I had one of those on my wrist not too long ago at a local Rolex AD. I must admit that the size lone makes it a possible future purchase. I dont care for very many of the Rolex models, but the new Deep Sea, an Explorer II and a ceramic GMT are pretty attractive watches. The AD thought that the Rolex salesman hinted that there may be more models graduating to the larger size.... out of public request. That would be nice.

Congrats on a fine watch (even though its not a Breitling!)

I never really liked the Rolex - Smaller Size, outdated/older design, not the solid/steel feel to the watch.. et al.
But this One is A-MAZING!
I LOVE the lugs, the thickness and absolutely loved the Clasp.
As Otto observed, the writing around the dial does put me off a bit though!
But beautiful watch! Great find!
Enjoy and wear in good health!
