Rolex Deepsea Black Dial Discontinued?

[Toivonen]

Hi everyone
i've seen a pic of the Rolex Diver line-up @ Basel 2016 on the Instagram page of a famous Rolex book editor. (i don't repost it here to not advert the book in the pic)

There's the full Rolex divers line-up ...all the Submariners Date (white gold,yellow gold blue/black dial, tt blue/black dial,ss black/yellow),the Submariner,the SD4000,the SDDS D-Blue...but NOT the SDDS black dial.

do someone who have had a trip in basel know if that model is now discontinued?
thanks in advance and have a good evening ;)

hi Yannis...and thanks for your answer :)
i know...and is in the master 2016 catalogue also.but it seems strange to display every watch in every color/material combination and not the Black deepsea only.
so,only for a matter of curiosity,i've asked to you :)

Well with Deep Blue in short supply i would doubt they will discontinue the black dial but who knows..can you tell the name of the editor? Or pm me? Thanks mate.

I can't imagine the black dialled version being discontinued until they discontinue the DSSD outright.
I should imagine the black is a staple/bread and butter version.

I hope it does, but unfortunately it isn't going to. It targets at a different audience who loves big chunky watches.
