My AD often lets me sift through his private collection safe and try on rare pieces that he is collecting for a Rolex/Tudor “museum corner” that he is planning to set up when they move to their new location.

I tried on a few Tudor Prince Oyster Submariners (even a blue one that the BB58 Blueberry is based on) but this was my favorite.

That sounds like a great relationship with your AD. Folks on this bowl have a lot to learn from you how to build it 😊

Honestly, I usually email him when I’d like an opinion on a watch or something in horology. I always check in when the brands release new models to ask him how they wear on the wrist.

The DRSD is the best diving watch Rolex has ever made.

Everyone always focuses on Subs but I think the Sea Dweller delivers a similarly versatile aesthetic, and the thing is built like a tank. Love this double red example, and the hour markers/hands have a lovely patina.

Thanks for sharing!

Agree! The domed crystal was something else and even though the watch itself weighed quite light (maybe due to the folded links plus the large gaps between them) it still felt nigh indestructible.

Edit: the links maybe have been hollow not folded. I tried on a bunch of vintage Tudor subs and I may be mixing things up there

Oh well, guess I won’t be going underwater. Just kidding haha - I think it’s cool and I do like that they ditched the HEV

My in-laws used to own a jewelry store, and they had this Omega quartz watch in their storage. I can understand why this wasn’t sold during their clearance sale lol. I had no idea Omega made stuff like this in 1987! I guess they couldn’t help it after the rise of quartz watches in the 70s to 80s. I doubt they’re worth anything even to this day. I see them on eBay for $700-1200, so who knows…
