I think the Submariner (or the Sea Dweller) would be my grail watch, but I'd have to go for a non-date version as I dislike the magnifier.
Aha, that's good to know about the Sea Dweller. TBH I doubt I'll ever be in a position to own one, but maybe one day.
I like that the Shark Diver has the date but doesn't lose the 3 o'clock marker, although I probably would have put it at 3:30 instead. I have a Vostok Amphibia too but the poor thing doesn't get much wrist time, I must try it on a decent strap one day instead of the cheap silicone dust magnet.
That's why I prefer my Omegas over Rolex for day-to-day wear. For more formal occasions nothing tops my Patek Philippe Calatrava.Have a similar story. Bought new, kept gaining seconds. The jeweler, was a friend and, sent it back for correction 4x. The 4th time he told me that the factory rep told him to tell me that a Rolex was a Chronometer, and if i wanted a watch that told perfect time to buy a Timex!!!
On watch forums the date magnifier is referred to as a Cyclops; seems appropriate.I think the Submariner (or the Sea Dweller) would be my grail watch, but I'd have to go for a non-date version as I dislike the magnifier.
