New Deepsea 1-Day Ownership Review (w/ Pics)

[moby33]

Last week I sold my beloved Sub Date since I knew I would eventually get a DSSD. It was hard to part w/ my Sub, but I must admit I quickly got over it after putting on my DSSD yesterday (I wasn't planning on buying this soon...but I got a great price on one and couldn't pass it up). After only one day of ownership I know I made the right call for me. Many on this forum will disagree about the merits of the DS, but I can't say enough about how it's everything (and more) of what I'm looking for in a watch...I couldn't be happier.

With one day of ownership under my belt I can honestly say I love the glidelock system more than I thought I would. Believe it or not I have used it quite a bit in the last 24 hours. Mornings have been in the upper 40's/lower 50's yet it's been breaking 90 degrees by mid day here in SoCal. It's so easy to flip the safety clip & tighten the watch in the cold morning hours when the watch is pretty loose. Then, by mid day when the heat kicks in I do the reverse and get some 'breathing room'. Sweet!!! Rolex definitely needs to get this clasp into all of their sport watch line...it really is that good.

Anyone out there like me that uses their bezel multiple times throughout the day will LOVE the new, extremely smooth action. Out of all the diver watches I've owned over the years (from numerous watch makers), this bezel is by far the best thing I've ever operated. It really does act like butter, yet extremely precise w/ zero slop.

I could go on and on, but I figured I've already written too much. For those out there that don't like the way Rolex is going w/ this watch, well, I don't really know what to say other than lets agree to disagree. I love it and can't tell you how happy I am. Cheers.
