    Re: 20000 feet

    If someone wants to pony up the cash, I'd be willing to be the guinea pig. But I think I'll need two -- one for each wrist. If not, I'll be swerving to the left, bumping into walls all day long. It looks like that monster could influence the tides.

    the bezel is kinda cool, but to big to wear for a long period of time.. The 12k was perfect. I guess next will be 30,000 ft..

    Well until a manufacturer does a real-world test, it's only hypothetical and marketing numbers.

    At least companies like Rolex and most recently JLC have done real-world tests with media present to witness such results.

    While it may be a tough watch, it doesn't mean the watch can 'actually' succeed at such an ocean depth.

    Doesn't look that bad on the wrist in my opinion...
    Would have expected it to be worse.

    I guess you gotta pay the $$$$$ & put up with the "Size" in order to be the King of the mountain.. I thought a wrist shot would look much bigger, it doesn't.
