I’m with Grady. I don’t have one to show either.

If I was allocated one I’d happily wear it on my 6 7/8” wrist without a single concern for what others think.

I'm really neither a lover nor a hater. I guess you could say that I'm a respecter.

I would say that it definitely has a place in the catalogue and that for those whose budget allows such a purchase, it has a place in their collections.

For myself, 50mm is a bit much for my wrist, but if I were willing to put that much money into a watch, I'd be proud to own one. In fact, I really consider the MSRP to be quite a bargain, if it were available at that price.

My 14060M just spend a month on my wrist and I have to say that it's a perfect diver, especially for those of us who do not dive.

Sorry all, I meant the new deep sea challenge model, wrist shots of those that have one.

I'll be more than happy to contribute!🤗 Gets a lot of wrist time.

Cell-phone shots appear to artificially enlarge it. Looks better in mirror-shots ...

The watch.
It's strictly about the watch

Have you had the opportunity to try one on in the wild?

[donq]

I have yet to see a pic of anyone wearing this that doesn’t look like a little kid wearing his daddy’s watch.

Maybe a body builder or Andre the Giant could pull it off?

Seriously it’s cringy on anyone else.

There’s a guy locally that’s 6’6” about 325lbs very well built that has one…still looks a little big but he pulls it off. I would love to try one on for kicks but haven’t found one available in person yet.

Exactly, and as a diver and collector of Sub and Sea Dweller it's a marvel of engineering. That's my pull to it.

To me as a scuba guy and Rolex enthusiast it's hard not to look at the tech marvel it is.

Exhibition model on 7 1/8" wrist

[Brian Page]

Awesome pics by the way!! Thanks!!!

Couldn't agree more. Reminds me of this:

[OG1982]

Sorry, I'm gonna say it as it is on this one.

A fine feat of engineering for sure, but a model that should've been condemned to a horological museum somewhere in Geneve...

Rolex should never have released this model for sale, IMO. It's a gimmick to release this model commercially, and Rolex are better than that.

[waterman1]

More power to those who wear this and for not caring what others think. I can say whenever I see photos of members wearing it, I grab my DSSD and suddenly it looks small and very manageable.

I have to say I agree with you.

I'm all for "each to their own" and "YMMV", etc, but this is one watch that I'm 100% convinced that no-one would buy if it didn't say Rolex on the dial.

As you say, it's unquestionably an incredible feat of engineering, especially since it almost doubles the WR of Omega's Ultra Deep for "only" a 5mm increase in both diameter and thickness, but to me at least, it just doesn't look good (or practical) on 99.9% of people's wrists.

But, as always, YMMV and it'd be a boring world if we all liked the same stuff.

[KatGirl]

Yikes! I’m guessing that’s one I couldn’t pull off…
