Does anyone know how thick the crystal on the DSSD is?

Thanks :)

smallcandle · 29 October 2009, 09:34 AM

layne · 29 October 2009, 09:39 AM

At it's thickest point i believe it is 5.5mm

WOW
Another dive watch I was reading about has a crystal of 9.8 mm ???

Normal surface air filled watch cases and crystals designed for extreme depths must be dimensionally large to cope with the encountered water pressure. To obtain its water resistance the Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA watch case has a diameter of 43.0 mm, thickness of 17.7 mm (domed crystal thickness 5.5 mm) and the case and bracelet weigh 220 g.

Yes I did I immediately went on the web and found the answer and posted it, I originally thought it was only 3mm

I asked because I thought I had gone mad and was seeing things. I read the thread went off came back and thought I could of swore I read...so I then thought I read it on another thread. There was no need for explanations.

Great info.. Notice how the DSSD dial is no bigger than a Sub dial and the ring with the writing on it comes into the dial to allow that size dial, I think that is one of the things that makes the DSSD not appear as a 44mm watch, most 44mm watches have a bigger dial than the DSSD. great touch by Rolex
