I bought a SDDS two weeks ago from Earnest Jones in London and it was a "V" series. If that helps.

nGage7962 · 13 July 2011, 09:53 PM

I bought one in Fiji on Jul 4 and it's a V

AJAX · 14 July 2011, 09:47 AM

I'm back from my deployment but my DSSD is a V series which I purchased in 2009.

What does your kanji mean?

Hocksman · 15 July 2011, 02:35 AM

And whose seal?

AJAX · 19 July 2011, 08:01 PM

Bushido. I'm not sure who's signature it is, though.

ipadvirus · 20 July 2011, 01:17 AM

I bought mine on 07 July 2011, G series, HK

Thought I'd add a link to this thread for tech. data.

It shows/discusses the difference between the Mk I and Mk II dials of the Deepsea.

Jinder · 18 August 2011, 12:31 PM

Starting to fall in love with this watch

Soul.Unitive · 22 September 2011, 09:44 PM

Larry thanks very much for the write up.... Its informative and insightful..... :)

Its definitely the watch for me.... :)

Renen padayachee · 26 September 2011, 05:42 AM

Bloody beautiful.
Quick question.
Does this watch ever come with a green luminescence or is it only always blue?

The DSSD has always had a blue lume!

mitcht · 29 September 2011, 11:03 AM

Does anyone feel that the M serial DSSD will hold its value better than others?

no, it usually sells cheaper than a v series used.

m_allie · 30 September 2011, 03:50 PM

no

+1, in the short term.

In the long run, say 30 years, since there are now 2 dial fonts, a Mark I dial may be worth a bit more with equal condition watches, but time will tell here.

Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA · 9 October 2011, 04:23 AM

I bought my SeaDweller DEEPSEA in September 2011 and with Nos Series "G" from Ernest Jones in Central London.

Deepsea Florida · 9 October 2011, 08:06 AM

Bought mine in Florida at a AD, August 2011. V serial.

V serials old style font right ??

Yes, I think so. The V serial number, S letter is flat S on G serial number the S letter is round.

Font changed during V cases, so it could be either.

Aimtac · 25 February 2012, 02:22 AM

Great tech info for the DSSD. Thanks a lot!!

awdxtc · 3 April 2012, 02:34 PM

I know this is going to sound dumb, but...is the illumination self powered as in it does not need charged by something like sunlight?

ecsub44 · 3 April 2012, 02:49 PM

It needs to be charged.

Not so long ago (about 14 years), the luminous material on the dial was radioactive and therefore was "self powered".

awdxtc · 4 April 2012, 06:31 AM

why did they change it? Seems to me that if you were actually using this watch for what it was for then you would want indicators that were self glowing like night sights on a gun.

Gagebuilder · 4 April 2012, 08:11 AM

The short answer, it's not healthy for people to handle radioactive material all day, every day.

I don't think it's that big of a deal though, as my watches still give off enough glow (without "charging", just normal indoor lighting, before bed) at 5 am to still read the time.

awdxtc · 4 April 2012, 08:17 AM

The material used must be of good quality. My Tag is horrible as far as the luminescence goes. Of course I am comparing a $1200 watch to a $10,000 watch.
