 I was checking that out a few weeks back.  You can't beat the pedigree.  Also, I like the design a LOT.  Awesome balance between functionality and fashion.  In that sense, I think the sub/SD line is as close to perfect as any watch has come. 

That said:  It's too rich for my blood.  I could never justify the cost with such strong competition from Omega in the Planet Ocean & SeaMaster Pro lines.  Also, consider the Seiko MarineMaster.  What does their Spring Drive model cost?

Maybe I'd feel different if I were in another tax bracket.  But for a true WIS looking for the ultimate diver....  I think there are other options.  I fold.

Just my $0.02
