It's actually a very famous Rolex diving watch, not made for wide distribution. I look at this and think "don't put your eye out!"

Isn't that the watch that holds the depth record? If I remember correctly it was strapped to the outside of a bathysphere and taken down to some ridiculous depth. Please correct me as I have no conformation of this story. Thanks for the post, historically significant watch.
Best health, Frank.

Yep, 1960, just under 11,000 metres - Rolex Deep Sea Special.
