That you are one of the few complaining about the rolex finish. The rolex finish has an alu bouchonné finish and geneva waves too I will post you a link because you are wrong.
Divers despite they have a diving computer still use a dive watch so you are wrong here again. The automatic escape helium valve is an advantage for the professional divers and it has been proven since 1971 with the sea dweller.
You talk about product quality when the 2500 isn't even manufactured by Omega themselves but by a subcontractor for Omega (in this case Eta), sorry but I can't compare an entirely inhouse made movement with a movement that is subcontracted. The thing would be diffrent if Omega modified the eta 2892-a2 itself but it is not the case.The 3135 has a serious feedback that is not the case of the 2500. The 33xx was said to be reliable but it only had failures.
You are one of the few who lost value while resaling a Rolex,I have seen some pre 1997 dweller and even 2002 dwellers maintaining their value very well.
The sea dweller has been used by the comex from 1971 till 1998, it is a professional tool the PO was a result from the marketing strategy of Hayek to attack the Sea Dweller/Super Ocean/Aquatimer market.A reference is always favored with a serious feedback is always favored over a pure product of marketing with a non existing feedback.
