Thanks I plan on doing just that. Found their forum good reading.

Thanks. Yes, I love the Sea-Dweller. it is still my only watch. I've even shark dived with it. I haven't really looked at other watches since I bought it, but there are a lot of other good brands out there.
The ones I like especially well are: Tudor Pelagos, Panerai, Blancpain "Fifty Fathoms", Omega Seamaster, and Patek Philippe Nautilus.

The Panerai watch I have been looking at is the Luminor Submersible 1950 Left-Handed. It is a nice watch, but not the one for me, as I would replace the nice leather band with something I could SCUBA with.
I also like to have a watch that I can use for every occasion, from a morning at the gun range to an evening at a formal dinner.

I think I'll rather keep the Sea-Dweller.

Can't go wrong with your Sea-dweller. I have bought a few watches. A formula 1 Tag Huer a Seiko 5 dive watch and a few vintage pieces, Gruen, Waltham and Citizen. Also a 1958 Bulova in real nice condition. I am looking for a vintage Omega Seamaster. I enjoy wearing the vintage watches.

I've never been a fan of Panerai. A lot of money for a pretty basic movement even with their "modifications".

Keep the Rolex.

I've been looking at Omega's lately - pixelfixed I believe mentioned he's had a few, think he was mentioning the Worldmaster...automatic movement is very fascinating for me in watches.
