Great minds, and all that :drinks::tu: Indeed it did, not quite as simple a design as a sub case, given the shape of the lugs, but given how the crownguards are integrated into the side of the case, definitely more streamlined :victory:

Indeed, :thumbsupsmileyanim: The Rolex Submariner Is the most recognized watch In the world. I think the Omega SeaMaster Is probably the second most recognized watch. It's hard to believe that both of these designs have been around for well over fifty years. There have been many designs that have come and gone but these two Icons are as popular as ever. Imo the classics never die and I think these two examples prove just that :drinks: Mike (ps) On July 21 1969 at 2:56 GMT, Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the surface of the moon. Five hundred million people heard his words broadcast on television: "thats one small step for man- one giant leap for mankind" Twenty minutes later, Armstrong's fellow crewmember from the Apollo 11 mission, Buz Aldren, became the first to wear a watch on the moon, when he stepped onto the lunar surface wearing an Omega Speedmaster professional. (Armstrong had left his own Speedmaster In the lunar module because the digital clock on board was damaged,and the astronauts did not want to run the risk of exposing both watches to the harsh environment of outer space.)(WatchTime 12/09)

I think you're quite right there, a classic design never dies, and look how many watches do base their look on the Submariner... It's a classic which does what it was designed to do :good:
