Δεν είχαν παρουσιαστεί ακόμα τα Casio, οπότε, .....τι να έκανε ο άνθρωπος 

Το προς τον καρπό, είναι και χρυσό

Στο δεξι τι να φοραει αραγε??

Στο δεξι τι να φοραει αραγε??

Σε όσες φωτό κυκλοφορούν, φοράει μόνον στο αριστερό, ένα ατσάλινο GMT, και σε μερικές, όταν πήγαινε ταξίδια και το χρυσό Day-Date. Σε καμμία δεν φαίνεται με ρολόι στο δεξί.

Αυτό, λένε στα σχόλια, το έκανε για να έχει την ώρα της Κούβας, και για τον λόγο αυτό σχολίασα ότι θα τον διευκόλυνε ένα Casio.

Και εννοείτσι ότι και ο Τσε, φορούσε επίσης ένα ατσάλινο GMT.

6000 – 7000
That’s the estimated number of employees in the company. In Biel alone, where Rolex manufactures its mechanisms, over 2,000 employees represent 100 different professions.

290 items
The Caliber 4130, developed exclusively for the Cosmograph Daytona by Rolex, has been driving the legendary racing chronograph since the year 2000. Consisting of only 290 individual parts – significantly fewer than a standard chronograph movement – this technical masterpiece impresses with its performance features as well as its simplicity.

$17,752,500
This is the record price for which the legendary Reference 6239; the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona by Paul Newman; was auctioned on October 26, 2017, making it currently the most expensive watch in the world.

The very first production Sea-Dweller was the Double Red Sea-Dweller (DRSD). The nickname refers to the two red lines on the dial, which set it apart from the handful of prototypes (read an in-depth article here) that feature just one line of red text. Those are, as you'd expect, called "Single Red" Sea-Dwellers. Interestingly, the helium escape valve is not a defining feature on all those prototypes, but it became the signature of the Sea-Dweller family as we know it today, so we're starting with the first proper, production reference.

Again, the nickname here comes from the dial, as the red lines from the previous models are now printed in white. There is also a distinction between very early Mark 0, and later Mark 1, 2, 3, 4 configurations. The Mark 2 gets a lot of attention from collectors for the arrangement of its Chronometer line – the alignment of the words on the two lines are described as a "rail," a common feature with the coveted Comex dials. These are called "rail dial" Sea-Dwellers and they're possibly the most desirable Great White variant. Indeed, the Compagnie d’Exploration was a prime client for the gas escape valve and after purchasing a few Submariners custom-fitted with a valve, it settled on the Sea-Dweller long term.

The “Triple 6” is much less devilish than its name would suggest, yet it represents a radical departure from the aforementioned reference 1665. In many ways, the reference 16660 is the archetype of the “modern” Sea-Dweller, since it features a sapphire crystal – making it among the first Rolex watches to feature it. This element, and its bigger case, allowed it to boast an increased water resistance of 4,000 feet/1,220 meters – double the limit of its predecessors.

Launched in the late 1980s, the reference 16600 is virtually identical to the late “Triple Six,” maintaining its sapphire crystal and its 1,220 meter water resistance. Over its remarkably long production period, the luminous material evolved from tritium to Luminova, and then to SuperLuminova. You can easily tell which is which by looking at the bottom of the dial – T Swiss T<25 indicates Tritium, Swiss indicates Luminova, and Swiss Made indicates SuperLuminova. Not too tough, right?

The reference 16600 also utilizes the caliber 3135, a slightly improved version of the caliber 3035. It has a longer power reserve and a full-fledged balance bridge, instead of the balance cock. The reference 16600 was discontinued after 20 years in Rolex catalogs, making it the longest lasting Sea-Dweller reference, and an easy model to find pre-owned. As with modern watches, a full set (with original box and papers) is preferable to a “naked” watch, even if it means paying a small premium (in the case of vintage watches, this premium can be drastically higher given the considerable time since the production of the piece).
