    Look at all the other watches, like invicta trash --- you put that under the sink and water will go in.
    THe awesomest feature of this watch is its diving capsule like appearance --- and being a chrono
    with those extra 2 buttons, it looks more like a machine ready to descend the murky depths ----
    You will not regret buying this watch ---- the SD16600 looks like a lady's watch compared to it....
    my deepsea looks pretty thin compared to it ....this cx20k is a man's watch that hasproved itself
    at -20K and -25K feetv----- How many mechanical watches you know of that have proven themselves
    at those depths? It has looks that only a mother can love ---- This is a TOOL watch for sure ---don't listen to the
    Rolex crowd -- they hate this watch with a passion because they like to wear girly watches ....
    This cx20k is the granddaddy of them all ....

    20k is not that big, THICK but not big, the 12k is large and heavier due to the materials used. both are very well made solid watches.

    I love this watch and really want one, but the chrono deters me. I'd love to see a pure diver.

    Wow...you've got a real hate on for Rolex right now don't you. This is the second thread where you've either trashed Rolex or those who wear Rolex...for no valid reason whatsoever? Did one of the ladies who work at Rolex beat you up recently?

    The "more is better" concept is only valid up to a point.
    Since no-one wears any watch below about 300 feet any numbers beyond 1000 ft are pure marketing baloney gimmicks.
    20000 feet, tested or not is just silly.

    Last time I went down to -20 000 meters, I didn't see a single dude with a Charmex CX 20 000. I was a bit frustrated. I thought they were all wearing this watch down there.

    Anyway I hope that Charmex will release a watch that tolerate temperatures up to 1000000° Celsuis. I plan to visit the Sun soon. I don't want my watch to melt...

    I agree with that numbers game and marketing BS, but what you do get (hopefully) with those amazing depth numbers is build quality, and a robust watch that can withstand way more abuse, 20K in tests gets blown up shot, power hosed with water that would smash the cacka out of most watches and the 20k still keeps on working.

    Sounds like a vintage Timex pitch. It can withstand all of that and, "takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'"
