The Luxury Watch Blog

Introduction.

I recently obtained a Sea Dweller (model number 16600). As the name implies and as most of you will know, this is the deep sea diver of the Rolex line. It uses Rolex movement 3135, and is COSC certified. I was looking for a rugged tool watch in this line. I like a date feature in a watch, and found that I did not like the Cyclops. I know many are fans of that feature, but–and this is a personal opinion–I found the Cyclops overwhelmed the crystal and was distracting to me. So, I chose the Sea Dweller; it is rugged, heavily built, meant to last, is beautiful in a low-key fashion and has the features I want in a tool watch.

Overall.

Rolex has been a name most of has have know since we were quite young. I recall the excellent advertisments that Rolex ran in the National Geogprahic magazines of the 1970’s, portaying their watches as the quintessential tool for explorers and adventurers far and wide. It was a watch that looked rugged, the first I’d seen with protective shoulders around the crown, indicative of the risks of adventure that the wearer accepted by taking on such an iconic watch. It certainly wasn’t the plain flat disc that my father and uncles wore. Since I’m a firm believer that a tool watch is to be used, not locked away, I have been wearing the Sea Dweller at work and at home, and have not been suprised to find it is a beautiful, accurate and rugged timepiece that is a pleasure to use.

Resident Evil: Extinction is a 2007 science fiction action horror film, and sequel to the 2004 film Resident Evil: Apocalypse and is the third installment of the series of film adaptations based on the popular Capcom survival horror game series Resident Evil. The film was directed by Russell Mulcahy and produced by Paul Anderson, and will adapt several plot elements from Resident Evil: Code Veronica as well as feature various characters and creatures from the game series. The film is a departure from the usually dark and drab locations of other zombie films as it takes place in a desert wilderness.

Why No Movado

INTRODUCTION
Since I own both of the latest versions of Omega dive watches, I thought it would be a worthwhile Endeavour to do a comparison between the two. The first is the latest and greatest from Omega; the Planet Ocean 2201.50.00 - 42mm black on black on bracelet. The other is the Omega Seamaster Professional: Electric Blue 2255.80.00 - 41mm blue face with polished bezel on bracelet. Ideally, I would have liked to compare my PO to the black on black SMP (2254.80.00) as it would have been a more of an “apples to apples” type of review, but sometimes you just have to work with what you got.

The Cariter Ballon Bleau comes as the Grand Modele at 42mm, the Medium Modele at 36mm and the Petit Modele at 28mm. It has a very interesting attribute! The crown is protected so you cannot damage it by pulling it too far!
