I know people who DO dive with expensive (relatively) watches

I do know people who dive with the IWC aquatimer (price wise probably not that close, but just illustrating the point), one was a good friend of mine who roughed it up (without really trying) so much that IWC gave him a replacement watch (so much for the titanium "harder than hard" exposition that IWC was pushing at that time.

So I can imagine that if this friend of mine got his hands on a JLC diver, he would put it through it's paces as well (and yes, he's -was?- a pretty serious diver, technical/mixed gases etc).

The Geo one is interesting, but how many pro divers are gonna buy a JLC luxury watch? And conversely how many Rolex owners dive into anything deeper than a swimming pool? That huge lever for the depth gauge will definitely put a lot of guys off who would ...
