Thanks so much.  It's not the dial width that concerns me. It's the lug to lug width and the height. I've had 44's before but never something almost 17 mm high!

Boschett Cave Dweller is as good or better in person, than photos. I own #069. A friend was over Sat night wearing Rolex GMT (his weekend "beater")... the Rolex GMT is an expensive watch... the crystal on the Rolex was scratched all over. Rolex GMT is about 38 - 39 mm? Compare the quality of stainless case, the Cave Dweller had as good or better finish. Rolex has deep grind marks on the top of the lugs. Cave Dweller has unbelievable presence, size, weight, and in a direct comparison (even overlooking the Rolex badly worn crystal) the comparison, was not really fair -- my brother looking at the Cave Dweller simply exclaimed "I've got to get a Cave Dweller." I have worn OMEGA Seamaster, and the watch is really nice... but a few minutes later, the thrill kind of fades. Quality of OMEGA is no doubt excellent, but you might expect, and demand perfection at that price. Certainly, someone can make a better technical comparison of the movements, watch history, and all the other unique mystique to which the OMEGA is appropriately deserving. But on a strict comparison of such things as the physical appearance of the Cave Dweller stainless, crystal, hands, clasp, indices, etc.... the Cave Dweller does not disappoint. Oh, and the OMEGA clearly has an incredible deeply etched classic back. Cave Dweller fairs well, but OMEGA wins in the case back finish department. Cave Dweller delivers exactly what is promised, BIG, BOLD, SOLID, MANLY dive watch with excellent readable dial, refined indices, striking presence, great package / watch case / manual, etc...and at a price that will leave you with enough money to go and get another. Add to this 1000 meter rating and auto Miyota mvt, and you really can't go wrong. Jim

As much as I love the Cave Dweller I would have to say the comparison to both the Rolex GMT MasterII and Omega Seamaster are a little over the top. I own all the above (a Seamaster Aqua Terra and Pepsi Bezel GMT Master II) and the Cave Dweller and while the Cave Dweller is a fantastic value for the price paid, it doesn't and shouldn't be compared to watches in the realm of the Rolex and Omega. And that's not to say fit and finish on the CD isn't superb... I just don't believe this is a valid comparison. JMHO!;)

I tried to qualify my comparison with appropriate disclaimers, and intend to disrespect to ROLEX GMT or OMEGA SEAMASTER that are quite remarkable, and amongst the legendary "classic" dive watches. You are correct, that technically and historically speaking -- that Rolex and Omega are deserving of their place in horological esteemed admiration. The question was compare the finish of the Cave Dweller to Seamaster... I through in the bit about the Rolex GMT because it in fact happened that way Sat night. And like I said, the Rolex was really beat up through years of neglect. Results might have been different, had the Rolex been in a presentation case. Conclusion:I think that we all agree, that if a BIG, BOLD, SS diver is on your wish list, then for the price Cave Dweller does not disappoint. We all need to thank Keith Boschett for the excellent watch ! Jim
