If this is true (doubtful), the question will be who will buy it?

Cannot see any reason why the DSSD and even the SD was rated to a depth that man or future man will never use, unless he is superman but he was only in films and comic books.

Now officially ;-)

" Timepieces such as the Rolex Deep Sea and the state-of-the-art, experimental Rolex DEEPSEA CHALLENGE, carried by James Cameron’s submersible, are the product of nearly a century of finely tuned know-how and innovation. They attest to the pursuit of perfection and the finest engineering. Nonetheless, Rolex’s affinity with the deep does not stop there. It extends to active and sustained sponsorship of renowned marine researchers and ocean exploration, supporting excellence in the advancement of human knowledge." & "In the same vein, James Cameron’s DEEPSEA CHALLENGE is taking us on a new journey, revealing the secrets held by the ocean floor for centuries and shedding light on the deepest frontier accessible to mankind."

Here's another one who only logs in to this forum to post negative comments about the Deepsea.

if you hate the Deepsea so much, stay out of the Deepsea threads. Stick to yellow gold ones!

Hilarious!

I would buy one not because I dive, (I don't) but I like the massive statement.
That is the same reason I bought my IWC Big Pilot. Not because I am a pilot, (I am not) but because it is a very very sexy watch.

11km depth range?? WOW thats nuts. personally i cannot see a big market for something like this. the aesthetics will suffer due to the functionality. if they do make it im sure they will sell some but i dont think it will be a mass produced piece
