Re: What the Watch World is Watching

Nice to see a watch that can do this, but truth of the matter is that not everyone dives this deep into the ocean and you have to realize that you could never actually wear this rolex so deep in the ocean and survive to tell about it since the body can't handle that kind of pressure so the watch would have to be attached outside the submarine while you're shielded from the elements.
