The dial is UGLY in my opinion. I would have rather seen a dial like what is on the Yachtmaster blue but a couple shades darker.

Has Rolex ever made/marketed a special commemorative model like this before?

No need to try that one on.

Don't even know if I'd buy one if I needed to Dive 12,800 ft--silly.

What a huge disappointment...

thoughts on the DSSD Cameron now?

personally I LOVE this one but can't justify the extra several thousand just for the color. to each their own, if it were teh same price, or just 10-20% more I'd opt for the deep blue1

I definitely wish this had a blue bezel.

Is it limited? If so, it's nice to see a modern LE from Rolex. If it is limited, I think I'll try to pick one up.

I really like it. I already have a black and blue Rolex so I know the colours can work well together. Looking forward to seeing it in person. Fantastic piece of engineering even if it isn't everyone's taste.

RolexJNJ · 5 August 2014, 09:16 AM

Very cool! Can't wait to see it in person!

SWISSAHOLICS · 5 August 2014, 09:16 AM

And here we were thinking Rolex may discontinue the Deep Sea after launching the ceramic Sea Dweller. This one took a sudden twist. Not for me though.

beshannon · 5 August 2014, 09:16 AM

Is it safe to wear it in the ocean?

First!

Agreed

iWally · 5 August 2014, 09:23 AM

i respectfully dislike this!

Just so so so wrong... :-(

Mack Bolan · 5 August 2014, 09:24 AM

by far the 16610LV special edition was the best one ever!

Tudor Fan · 5 August 2014, 09:29 AM

I think the color combination is just absolutely dreadful.
...and if I wanted to read, I'd buy a book.

Personally I think it has potential
Need to see it on the flesh
Rolex knows what thie doing I highly doubt that this will be a
"Mistake", Rolex doesn't make mistakes.

herbalt · 5 August 2014, 09:27 AM

I'd have to see that dial in person. I think the 3 color thing is interesting.

outtatime · 5 August 2014, 09:27 AM

Wow...just wow.

That is atrocious. Looks like a Bamford slop-together job. Is that even the same font they use for everything else?

Thanks but no thanks "Big R".

BNA/LION · 5 August 2014, 09:28 AM

None for me, thanks...

Old Expat Beast · 5 August 2014, 09:29 AM

Has there ever been a Rolex limited edition? It's early here and not had my first coffee yet.

Kingair · 5 August 2014, 09:29 AM

Nice watch regardless the negative reviews . . . .

Whether you and I like the blue dial and green writing or not;
It still will the same behemoth size on our wrist and that will still be a turn off to some.
...I do think it is cool how Rolex rolled this out beyond It's natural way of doing things.
