HauteHippie Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Interestingly, the Doxa 300T Conquistador was the first watch with a helium release valve for sale to the general public (1969), however Rolex holds the patent.* *http://www.doxa300t.com/conquistador/conquistador.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I believe Rolex partnered with another watch company in designing the original He valve that was used in the Comex Sub &, later, in the SD. That other watch company may have been Doxa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movementum Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I had never been a rolex fan until I encountered the sea dweller. I respect the watch for its remarkable engineering and abuse-taking powers. It is also generally not guilty of the sins of the submariner which stays on yuppie wrists and never goes into the briney deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
