Congrats!

[learningtofly]

Thanks, and that was 45 minutes of my life I'll never get back :lol:

It's gorgeous 8)

I still kinda prefer the more modern version of the SD though

That's at The Mandeville, right? Do we have a date for it?

Stop hijacking my thread - just look at the pictures again.

Looks great, the only thing which bothers me on the SD is the cheapo looking clasp. I know it has prooven itself with reliability, but hey...it feels like it's manufactured from coke cans..

It's safe as houses, and try an Omega clasp from the same period ;)

Beautiful photographs, stunning watch.

Amazing pictures of a cool watch! Not to turn this into a photography thread but your pics have a 'brushed' look. Are they HDR?

Thanks, and no... I shoot them in Raw and then fine-tune the sharpness where necessary. The "brushed" look is possibly just the consequence of selective focus but I see what you mean.

Great vintage watch, dont fancy the plexy crystal tho..

[HansJorgen1968]

Stunning pictures of one of my favorite vintage Rolex

Bearing in mind it's a genuine NOS Tropic 39 Superdome, it amused me too :)

[The Hack]

Stunning example of a vintage Sea Dweller! Wear in good health (and then sell it to me please). :)

[Chinnock]

What a vision!

[Marco-T]

This is really gorgeous.... :shock:

Nice pics btw :wink:

[Omegamanic]

These are just stunning 8) I much prefer all white :)

[Mike Wood]

Lovely pictures! Watch ain't too shabby, neither!!

:D

[monogroover]

Very nice indeed- great photos, too.

[learningtofly]

Thanks guys. Apparently there's only one that's been seen on the various forums that might give it a run for it's money (bring it on, Clay ;))

[mijyou]

Just checked out your blog.
Nice collection you got there, the pictures are brilliant!

[learningtofly]

Thanks again. The photos did come out nicely, but it would be hard to screw up with the kind of subject matter that I'm lucky enough to have to hand!

Sorry - wasn't meaning to be obtuse. This is a pretty perfect example, and a couple of people have suggested to me that only Clayton (who hangs out at VFR/TRF) might have one as nice. I was throwing out a challenge ;)

[marksh]

lovely watch Tony and great photos as usual here s a few shots ( not as good as yours mind :x ) possibly the best watch i own complete with papers and original purchase receipt ,that might give yours a run for your money :bom:

[learningtofly]

That's a beauty, Mark.

[uwtc]

No, I got you. I just thought it was a slightly strange thing to say. Don't get me wrong, your 1665 is a lovely example, but you still occasionally see NOS examples come up. Yours has lovely patina and has buffed up very nicely though. Your photos are fantastic, as always. :)

It was VERY tongue in cheek, honestly :)

Thanks mate! The superdome plexi takes the Sea-Dweller to a different league! :drunken:

The older models are best, just a shame that the straps are a bit of a weak point
