Any Rolie is desirable to me, but I much prefer the DeepSea James Cameron with the transition dial. I also would prefer to see your watch on the original Oyster bracelet. I know I am probably in the minority of watch guys, but I can't stand leather straps and natos are only a little better to me. Still very nice, though. You can probably beat the hell out of that thing on a coral reef and it will still tell time 30 years later.

I agree that the dial on the james cameron looks cool, but the size was too much for me. It was the same thing as with the Panerai...just too much for my scrawny wrists. That, and I appreciate the maxi dial of the 116600. It just works for me.

As for the strap, yeah - it's an older photo. I've had it back on the bracelet for a while now, but do appreciate the variety. And yes, i wanted a good watch that I could wear without fear as I drag my growing kiddos through this and that. The SD was a perfect option - great pedigree, robust as hell, and something I can pass on.
