Is the seadweller really worth the money over a Sub? I guess you get extra depth for diving (but i was on a submarine and i know none of us can survive the Sub rating let alone the seadweller!
Is the movement that much better?

Good question Mike.... I would like to know the answer as well. The depth, lack of cylops, and helium escape valve are the only differences that come to my mind.
BTW Go Irish ;D

The movement is identical (3135). For the extra money you get the tool kit, the gas release valve, and lots of extra water resistance.
I for one am glad I have both the Sub and Sea-Dweller. If you have several Rolexes, then the lack of the cyclops gives it that little something that makes it distinct from, say my GMT II or Explorer II.
For YEARS I didn't think I liked the Dweler. But then I got it. ;D The extra thickness and heft are great too.

The fact that it doesn't have the cyclops makes it worth the extra money - I hate the thing. Its a big watch but I have actually found it smaller to wear than my SMP. Less copied than the SUB, not quite as well known. IMHO this makes it slightly more unique and desireable.

The diameter of the dial/crystal is smaller too.
