The original Deepsea Sea Dweller thread. DSSD MEMBERS - OWNERS CLUB
OK... i am quite excited about this chunk of steel and thought of starting a thread where we can gather as much information as possible whether it be technical stuff, photos (in particular), anything that one can discuss about the Deepsea Sea Dweller. Everything related to the DSSD can go here. I searched through the forums trying to find one similar thread yet i had no luck so that could set it.
Hope we get it going guys. |

Well the idea behind this is more of an owners' thread as the name of the thread suggests. Still you are the man so it's your call if you want us to keep this one buddy! |

IMHO it's the best value sports watch that Rolex makes. When it was first released, it was not received well but I have a feeling it has gained in popularity since then.

Indeed! I liked it since day one. However when i tried it on for the first time it fell awkward. After a couple of times i wore or tried this beast on i made my mind up. It looks gorgeous when properly adjusted to the wrist and the glidelock clasp is amazing.

If not for the fact of the writings around the dial, I'd say a perfect watch. Due to that the dial could be bigger and better looking. Also the watch deserves wider (24 or 26 mm) bracelet.
Anyway it is still ROLEX, still dependable, still durable. |

Yes i kinda agree they did not make a new dial rather they kept the original maxi dial and surrounded it with the writing. It doesn't look bad in real life (actually it looks great) and it is not as obvious as pics show; but if it was not for that writing, the maxi dial would have been bigger and i don't know how this would have affected the proportions of the watch.

[QUOTE=SDDS17;2821252]Love this watch...may never need another one???
I like it so much I have 2. Yep that's right 2 DSSD's! One V and one G series. It's a backup for the best watch ever. I wouldn't want to wear anything else while one is being serviced etc. That is Deep Sea Love. Can anyone top that. |

Xactly. One for the safe. Next time I do the monthly wind I will take a side by side shot. No real difference I can see. I like knowing there is another one in the wings. I just can't wear a smaller watch now. I know there are larger watches but other than the YMII (I am not a boat owner so that's out) it's the biggest baddest ( and non blingy) Rolex. A smaller 40mm Rolex would feel weak at this point.
