willy Skrev:Hi magnum.Rolex still buy certain parts out of house Seiko do not.But i think we are nit picking here <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> They are both of course maybe the most inhouse you can get along side Citizen.I am not sure about the sapphire.I am not a expert but Seiko have said they use mineral because it cannot shatter.But i have heard that seiko are using sapphire on some divers now.But is this just catering to the public taste over the reliabilty of the watch in extreme situations?I hope not.I will wait until my glass is well scrached and then maybe put a sapphire in it.I am not a diver Willy

Most divers are not sold to people who use them professionally. Most will end up as deskdivers, who will see a little water from showers and pools.
They should use sapphire, especially at that price.

Comex didn´t have problems issuing sapphire Sea-Dwellers to their divers, so I don´t think it is a big problem

Kim T Skrev:GREAT write up, and without using the word f.... even once

No four-letter words, I´m impressed <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
