Planet Ocean a rugged sportswatch? Not really

In Response To: Re: Planet Ocean or De Ville Co-Axial Power Reserv ()

Hi John

How can you say that PO is "rugged" when it was never used a real dive watch by a professional team or a company and when its movement has never been tested over the very long run???? The sub and sea dweller are rugged sportswatches.The sub was launched in 1953 and the sea dweller in 1967 bothe were part of the comex equipment from 1971 till 1998. I don't consider a product from hayek's marketing hype as a "rugged" sports watch but a dress diver with zero concrete feedback regarding its ruggedness.

regards
