as it stands now the website has no pictures of the dssd anymore.....what it does have however is 'text' under the sea dweller model that refers to the sea dweller and dssd. looks like the website update is in progress.

i would not be shocked if the dssd-b was discontinued considering they discontinued the 40mm sd4k

perhaps what rolex will leave us is the sub, new SD & original dssd. we will know soon enough

The previous Sea Dweller 4000 was a slow seller. This new watch was designed to boost sales and it's perfect in that regard - the previous Sea Dwellers will fly off the shelves.

We will be seeing many people "modding" this watch by removing the cyclops.

For sure!

They've lost the plot with this. It will appeal to people who know nothing of the SD's great heritage, it's design, sizing...just everything!

It's a fashion piece for the golf-course, not an under-the-radar, heritage tool watch.

This is for non-WIS.

As said elsewhere: "Behold, the ClownDweller!"

They didn't really have a choice as the SDc was not being bought nearly enough by these WIS. It was either go more populist or make the new RSDc or DRSDc at 40mm but with very low production but then we would get the same D500/D-Blue situation which would pss off just as many again.

Gotta love those lugs. They remind me of an explorer 2. I like the watch, and the size will work for many folks, I believe. More so than the dssd did. This new SD does seem a better proportioned overall. Nice job, Rolex.

Now, I think I'll go strap on my SD4K :)

I think the clasp is the same as/similar to the DSSD, but have not seen any pics yet.
