Must..........resist........the Deep Sea....

It's taking all I got to resist "the beast" since trying one on and having it fitted to my wrist at a recent GTG.

Anyone got any recent pics of this giant hunk of steel??

Also, feel free to talk me out of it.............

I just acquired one, you should too. Haha, I tried to resist and I stumbled on a good deal so I took the plunge. I tried one on last year and I thought it was big but it was at an AD and was for about 2 minutes. I hope to get mine next week and I am sort of hoping it is a worthy and realistic replacement for my SubC so that I can use those finds towards a white dialed EXPLORERII 42mm. I'd like to see pics to to hold me over until next week.

Only Daytona and Deepsea are Rolex watches that I owned, sold and now I'm thinking about buying it again.

My opinion of the Deep Sea completely changed after seeing it fitted. I definitely think you should get it.

Hi Dan,

to talk you out: It is a chunky, ugly, completely out of proportion watch, extremely heavy and uncomfy to wear!

I wouldn't even take one for free.....



Maybe this helps to cure you?

Tom

Some really nice features on that watch...matte dial, blue lume, large markers and hands, domed crystal, full minute marks on bezel etc..

But then there are a few I will never get around. Too thick, thin bracelet and most of all a useless ring (unless you dive to 3900m) with plenty of useless text on it...these things would drive me mad and I would end up selling it...
