We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

Omega went to the moon, Rolex went to the bottom of the ocean and Timex went to my wrist.

I would like to know if any owner of these watches has taken it below 4m.

I went from the Submariner to the Seadweller simply because I went from showering to bathing. I can wholeheartedly state that the Seadweller hasn’t let me down yet 👍🏻

-Rolex dive watches get tones of views which one should we do a video about? -Yes.

My father worked on submarines for the US Navy, during ww2, and I have his Rolex from those days. The seals were made of lead, at that time.

I've been diving for 30 years and I have never had any reason to use a dive watch, they've been obsolete since '83 or '84 when usable, reliable dive computers came about. These are just fashion accessories now.

Hey guys. Not sure I should admit to this, but I own a DSSD and I don’t baby it - at all. I’ve taken it diving - both desk and ocean - running, mountain biking, camping. It’s my everyday watch and by that I don’t mean to sound snobby or anything - it took me a while to save up for it and I enjoy wearing a lot because it makes me smile. My philosophy is if you’re going to spend your hard earned cash on a watch that has amazing build quality and you love it, why not enjoy as much as you can? Isn’t that the point of owning these time pieces? Because they make us happy; they pull at our heartstrings? And just to be clear and safe, I bought an insurance policy on my DSSD because, hey, you never know...

The bracelet’s guidelock on the Deepsea is truly fantastic, so easy to adjust, and when travelling facilitates easy/quick adjustments for expanstion of the wrist that’s enevitable at high altitudes or going from cold to hot/hot to cold climates. Definitely the main feature of the watch that’s indigenous to the deepsea that’s rarely called out but yet so innovative, reliable, easy to use and useful/practical. Love it !! Great video, great channel, great presentations in all you do, well done.

I read the comments here and as always with the subject Rolex, there are the different fan groups. I am happy that Rolex, Omega and others make great watches. I worked for one of the groups and I can tell you, that the atmosphere was always that of a lot of respect for each other and the products. A gentleman's rivalry. It was also this sporty rivalry that gave the world some of the best watches.

Now you need to mention Omegas new Planet Ocean Ultra Deep.

It doesn’t matter if you go diving with your dive watch or not. If you like the style and you want an over engineered daily beater with a 1 hour timer, get a dive watch. Oh and you can go diving too....

Awesome comparison video well made like always! Thank you for posting and keep them coming

I love how this guy's wrist can actually pull off a DSSD

1:08 'It's the whole story that tells the whole story..' thanks for clearing that up. :)

I have a Sea Dweller, I was told I wont be able to compare the few watches I wanted , made the right choice ,still love it, after 15 years, just had it serviced , comes back like a new one .

Did we overlook something of this Rolex Submariner history? Blancpain anyone?

What an interesting review really enjoyed it.and I still love my sub after 23 years on my wrist. Watchfinder give the far best reviews. Keep up the good work.

May I know what lenses you use for this video?

You are by far the best watch storyteller in the world. Thanks for sharing! Although I wonder... would you recommend some books about these stories? I have no idea where to begin looking.

Excellent as always 👍👍

I bought a 2002 Sea-Dweller for two reasons. One, I wanted a Sub with a date. Two, I wanted a Sub date but no date bubble.

I have the JC DS and Sub and love them both. However my Rolex batman with jubilee strap is the favourite.

So happy that you mentioned the crown problem, it’s happened to mine

Exceptional video. Tons of knowledge - thank you for all your hard work! Pat

I was told that Blancpains 50 fathoms was the watch that started the dive watch craze & Rolex copied that? Don't know who to believe now!

One minute in and you’ve absolutely captivated the audience. Your content is always so well put together

I love that intro music. I can't get enough of it.

I have a Sea-Dweller (1665) which was my 21st birthday present from my parents in 1977. I also have a GMT II (116710LN) - luxury purchase 10 years ago. I have some diving in the past (recreational stuff and used a Citizen Promaster Diver - didn’t want to scratch the Sea-Dweller ! ) Strange they bought me a Rolex as my Father was an Omega man, wearing the watch he was issued when he was in the Fleet Airarm (WWII) every day until his death in 2014 . (This watch was apparently ‘well worn’ so he had it serviced and recased, keeping the original white face, in 1956 by Dennison - done ‘privately’, after all, it was ‘his watch’ !) I am its custodian now - a prized possession !!

My very first proper watch was a Rolex. And bought two others since then. Of course i have other makes but for running amuck i use my rolex.

Thrilling story ! Exciting waches ! Valuable video !

I would love to own a sub or gmt master some day😍

Wow awesome production!

Sub is 40mm, Sea Dweller 40-43, DeepSea 44mm. Some people like me like their watches big. After 200m the pressure will start squishing your body anyway.

I have a Deep Sea and I like it. But I wish I had kept my Submariner though. Now however I mainly wear a Longines HydroConquest chronograph automatic. Or a Omega Automatic chronograph Seamaster . I mainly have dive watch because I am a professional diver. The Deep-Sea is a watch I will never max out in anyway . For most of my diving 200m is more then adequate. Another watch I had which was a great dive watch was the Seiko SLD005 scubamaster .

Please review Christopher Ward SH21 movement!

This video genuinely was an absolute masterpiece. Keep up the amazing work guys!

While not nearly a sexy you shouldn't forget that the helium escape valve was developed with Doxa and while Rolex focused on professional dive pieces Doxa released their timepiece to the masses. And then there was the quartz crisis and to the Victor go the spoils.

Great video!

Excellent Presentation & history.

Great video, very informative but I thought Omega held the record of a watch going deepest under water with the Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional?

Your videos are absolutely incredible.

My dweller has done thousands of dives. Nothing deep. Most of the time 50-120ft dives. Has done the job for the last 20 years.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms? We just ignore them now or what?

Which of the 2 keep their prices if you buy one

Can you review IWC Big Ingenieur 7days iw500505?

I’m a well experienced diver , went diving on many sites , and never wore a Rolex Sub ceramic which is my own watch. Long story short , was diving in SEA , in Malaysia where the South China Sea is ,that day , before initiating the dive , I checked all the instruments and they were working properly. However I had a gut feeling myself so I decided to bring with me also my Rolex Sub in ceramic strapped to my other wrist. While reaching 60 meters of depth , my diving computer started to have a malfunction (I thought you gotta be f**ing kidding me?!) fortunately I also timed the dive on the sub ceramic before initiating the dive. I used my Rolex to time decompression stops and re-emerge on the surface , I am alive today to post this message thanks to my Rolex sub which helped me survive without causing my blood to boil if I was emerging too fast. The watch still ticks to this day. Mark

Awesome thank you

I love watches. Although I cannot justify spending this kind of money on a time piece, I appreciate them more than perhaps someone with means who could own several watches like these Rolex diving watches. However, except for the original Sea Master the other two 'upgrades' were way too thick for daily use imho, but I am sure they would both make great diving watches for the affluent.

I have one comes with box and everything where is the best place for me to sell it

I love your videos but omega just went way deeper. How did you miss that?

Blancpain 50 fathoms came first?? Excellent channel but we're getting fed up with constant Rolex adverts....

What is this music ? Thks...

Beautiful สวยงามมากครับ

I remember on the watch forums all the Rolex fans in a major flap over the Deep Seas "massive" 44mm case, and all the Breitling and Seiko owners looking at their Superocean`s and "Tuna`s" wondering what the big deal was LOL

Rolex Deepsea: The only watch you can feel comfortable getting in a light mist

My ideal Rolex is an Omega Planet Ocean. In fact, the Planet Ocean on my wrist right now. Kidding aside, the only reason I would want a Sub is because of James Bond. Connery was a huge Rolex guy, but I don't hold that against him.

How come the deep sea doesn’t have the date magnifier? I can barely read the date!

I’m not into watches enough to watch these videos. Im subscribed to your channel and watch these videos because your presentation is that damn good.

Yeah ..I got a daytona and a tudor and i think for me it is not practical anymore in our today economy I'm 60yrs old,leaning towards putting my$ in the bank.but i know there is a lot of beautiful time piece out there that will not break my bank so good luck guys.

Yes but have they made one that can stop a bullet?

5:00 I definitely heard you say “affordable”

Love my Submariner no date. Got super lucky and got it new from my AD after only 2 days of waiting. Perfect size for my wrist. Sea Dweller is just too big for me

Love how the first macro shot already shows poor QC. Honestly, how is it that the printing on SKX is sharper than this under a macro lens?

Sea Dweller is much better, I'd love a Gmt batman, tried one on few yrs, at w.o.s in cardiff , cant get one now, did see a lush sea Dweller, deepsea in a 2nd hand jewellers last wknd, very tempting .

Everyone wants it but few owns it. I want them all in my collections.

Most of the success of the Sub is that it's simply gorgeous. The Omega looked pretty meh.

Watchfinder: (about Rolex) "The brand having kickstarted the entire dive watch legacy pretty much single-handedly." Blancpain Fifty Fathoms: "Am I a joke to you?"

Need subjecte french please. Good job. Nice Chanel

You should do a video on the 16610 submariner. You make the best watch videos

Like to see review of the hublot big bang chukker bag .

Isn't the watch too bulky to be supported by a wrist's compromised strength at 12,000 feet?

and then vostok made a watch with a rubber gasket that expands and an acrylic crystal that mashes into the case all for like 70 dollars

How about the Grand Seiko Sports professional Diver watch 600meters plz

Review Rolex Day Date Rose Gold 🧡💚

Just the job for snorkeling in the Mediterranean! 😄 ha ha! You buy the watch because it's beautifully made and designed. I don't wear my SeaMaster when I snorkel (I've got an original Seiko Tuna can from the 70's for that!) I love the 'Deep Sea' - I will buy one and enjoy just looking at it and marvelling at the work that went into it.

I dont know who you are, but I always watch your videos while I skip most other watchbox ones.

Rolex advertising watches that you can't buy even if you have the cash in hand is the horological equivalent of the infamous Popeyes chicken sandwhich debacle. Uncouth Rolex!

I think the deep sea is 15.4 mm thick, not FIFTY FOUR mm thick! Caught you in a rare slip. Brilliant comparison and compendium on the mark.

I would seriously doubt most people even get these wet

I could watch( no pun intended) the rolex b roll shoot for hours

The bulletproof cleanest looking Rolex sport watch 116600

Can you get the cyclops removed from the watch?

Good video/content. But, for ME, features MUCH more imporant to me is being able to read the time at a glance . Under most llight conditions/reflections...which means the watch MUST have an AR coating....which these watches added only recently Sea Dweller last year and the Sub

So why didn't Rolex keep following that original path of providing great watches at reasonable prices, cheaper than competition?

The OMEGA Ultra Deep vs. ROLEX Deepsea Challenge

There is one key issue with all those Rolex achievements. Just as Aegler made all Rolex movements (based mostly on Lemania ebauches), It was "one of Rolex case suppliers", who made Submariner and Seadweller cases. Rolex didn't make anything till 2004 . Unlike Omega, they haven't invented anything. Their Suppliers and Sub-contractors "were tasked" with combining exististing technology in particular watch case production.. Besides ... Blancpain 50 Fathoms and Omega Seamaster, actually predated Rolex Submariner.

they're just fashion accessories now, dive computers completely obsolete them, but they're nice to look at.

My favourite watch video

Now, let's do a review on Seiko Marine Master 1000m, aka the Emperor Tuna.

I need some advice from Rolex owners out there. I been working with Rolex AD to buy my first Rolex. I get a call today Dec 10 he has a 2022 Sea Dweller 126600 Red line just came in from Rolex brand new for me and to buy at retail. I had originally told him I wanted anything Submariner or Gmt in Oystersteel. Appointment is tomorrow. Any Rolex I buy will be with me forever. I know this is not as popular as other two. Would anyone here still buy this if they were in my position? Were you still happy you bought this? Plus I see they do not hold value long term like other models either. Don't know what to do plus do not want to piss off AD. Help! Serious replies only, Thanks.

None of these watches are used by offshore divers, we actually have a real dive watches that are computers, and they are made by suunto, they are 200m and that's all we need, these are nice to wear to out and that's it, divers will never use these to work in lol.

Love my deepsea but they’ve sold me in this video, I want a sub and a sea dweller to go with it now 🤦🏻‍♂️

I NEED an SD4000 116600!

both are great watches

Love my sea dweller! Never even been in the rain, lol

Why ,?

Sea Dweller. Absolutely love my 40mm 16600 strikes the perfect balance between vintage and modern.

The Quentin Wilson of the watch world.

I have 1 deepsea black dial i dont wear it why i bought it because it was the best 1 i suppose
