I was doing some research on that brand as I bought a different model on Friday. Apparently, they have a bit of a reputation of putting the cyclops on just a bit out of place and it doesn't quite line up with the date window.

Buyer beware on that one.

I thought it was still around, but they changed the model slightly and added the Deepsea title, I prefer the older one ( Nice watch bass_nut )

thanks omegaman

Nice watch bass nut. The dealers I contacted no longer stock Sea Dweller. I think it's near impossible to get an old style Submariner either. The new style Submariner doesn't look too bad.

thanks sir Audio-Omega ... i agree, the new sea dweller is good looking too... btw, i am an Omega watch fan as well

Miguel,
I'll make a deal with you. We can split the price of this watch , and we will share it, wearing it on alternate months? How do you like dem dare apples?

"Original Gas Escapement Valve"??
"Ring Lock System"???

That's pretty much the only thing stopping me from getting a Rolex, I just can't stand how they want to advertise more than produce a good looking watch. I mean, its cool that they had the "first" GEV, but...come on, do you really have to put it right on the face of the watch?

I know I know, only a few Rolexs have that, but they are one's I like otherwise

They're pretty, true. I just (realizing you and everyone else probably don't) have a hangup over being "the guy who wears a Rolex" when I'm not a salesman, VP, (insert other position of social importance), etc. Everybody knows what a Rolex is, and everyone also probably assumes it's fake.

Well said. Why would Rolex feel the need to cheapen their watches like that?

Ten bucks says they come out with a non-"texted" version of the DSD eventually.
