Hope you brought your light. :p

Yes, it was dark and very little life it seemed at that depth.
A personal goal, but not the prettiest dive for sure!

Yup, my best dives were shallow beach dives off Maui. The coral reefs were a sight to behold.

Not crazy about this one. Personally, I think the rehaut is way too large (wide) and thus, the dial itself is smaller in diameter than I feel is optimal. As a result, the dial looks "small" with respect to the overall watch case dimensions.

Also, true to form for Rolexes of late (and some Tudor models, also), there is just too much lettering. It's like a damn book chapter of text on the rehaut and dial. Rolex has been doing this a lot of late, and personally, I find it a distraction.

Personally, I like the new Pelagos 39mm in Titanium without a date window much better....

Stephen… all the writing is so you don’t fall asleep while doing 2 weeks of decompression. :D

My personal Rolex watches I think I will never part with are the Sea Dweller 43mm and the James Cameron Deep Sea - love them both!

Ahh....got it! :thumbsup::D

Speaking of dive watches, this is incoming some time this fall or winter: Sinn U50 S Limited Edition with blue dial and black tegimented* steel case and bracelet. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide. The tegimented Sinns are virtually scratch and nick-proof. :thumbsup:

From Sinn: "When designing this new watch, Sinn wanted to create something bold and unique. As the blue gradient dial fades to black around the edges, it is reminiscent of how the blue of the ocean darkens as it deepens. Fitting for a dive watch."


*–The Tegiment process is not a coating consisting of a foreign material; instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. The base material is a type of stainless steel also used for surgical implants, and the stainless steel resistance to corrosion is further improved by the Tegiment hardening process. The primary advantages to a Tegimented case are extreme resistance to scratches and other case abrasions, as well as increased resistance to corrosion.

Always a great time. We usually get surprised several times by large turtles coming out of the sand at the base of the coral when we swam close to them off Ka'anapali & Kihei. Think they must be sleeping and are as surprised as we are. We also enjoyed diving in the Molokini crater. Only 30-40ft on the inside of the crater but pretty close to infinite depth on the outside. The only drawback is how cold the Pacific is compared to the Caribbean. We have friends who vacation for a couple of weeks each year in Bonaire and tell us how great the diving is. They go 'in' every day.
Snorkeling/diving in John Pennykamp (only coral off the continental USA) off Key Largo is also a great way to spend a day or two. Was the first place I met a barracuda face-to-face. Of course, thru the mask it looked to be about 5ft long with 3" teeth when it likely was only about half that. We also enjoy Magens Bay on the north side of St. Thomas.

Deepsea is awesome looking piece..... too bad i have girly wrists and cant consider

I gotta stick to the classic 36mm size options

Deepsea is easy to read as opposed to the chronograph styles that rolex sells
