LOL. They are not discontinued. You have to click on the SeaDweller just like every other model on the site.

no. the dssd has more expensive materials. the dssd is still the king of rolex divers.

On the fence about the size, hate the cyclopes.

[James2001]

What's the finish on the dial?

[Psmith]

Wonder how long the red text will stay in production for? 12 months... or forever?
Buy sooner before they change it to white

[Etschell]

meh, not sure how this is better than the sd4k. basically a compromise between the dssd and the sd4k.

[Nairn1980]

Not for me I don't think, especially at £8,350

i would not be shocked if the dssd-b was discontinued considering they discontinued the 40mm sd4k

perhaps what rolex will leave us is the sub, new SD & original dssd. we will know soon enough

Only the SDc4k has gone: https://www.rolex.com/watches/sea-dweller.html

The Deep Sea and Deep Blue are still on rolex.com. They are under Sea Dweller, then hit configure.

3 years only. It was launched at Basel 2014. Seriously short run for a modern Rolex.

SDc is no longer listed under "all SeaDweller models" for me. Looks like it's gone, the website is currently being updated by the look of it.

They've lost the plot with this. It will appeal to people who know nothing of the SD's great heritage, it's design, sizing...just everything!

It's a fashion piece for the golf-course, not an under-the-radar, heritage tool watch.

This is for non-WIS.

As said elsewhere: "Behold, the ClownDweller!"

Well said

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you own a 116600 SD4K, consider yourself LUCKY....

i was hitting view all models

[Dirty Tool]

Cyclops is meh but why on earth have they made it so thick now?

[bjw]

Seems one less waiting list for the AD' s to make

I can't express my disappointment enough. A cyclops on this?

Even a red dial is not enough to overcome the cyclops.

In canada on our website it retails for $13k but in Canadian dollars.

[nikesupremedunk]

I'm actually very surprised by this. 43mm and cyclops...maybe April fools came a little too early at Rolex?

I'm sure it'll still sell out though being an anniversary model.

Price does not come as any surprise really, nor does the watch itself given that it had been leaked out to some degree?

Just not sure about the 43mm case though. I had an Explorer 42mm and whilst I would not say I have a small wrist, even that felt a bit big.

The red writing on the dial, new 3235 movement and the upgrade to the Deepsea clasp (if that proves to be so) would all be good, but the case size might swing me away from it. No doubt however that it will be good or bad news for some.

Glossy according to the downloadable brochure

[donut]

Can we just remove that cyclops by ourselves? Might look much better.
But still love the red font.

[bsprtsgrp]

40mm 4K is removed from the website. I already ordered the new 43mm SD from my AD. This was my next one...

I must admit my 116600 has a new glow or aura to it that just developed this morning now that's it's been discontinued.

[brettpaul]

Wouldn't be surprised to see the DSSD lines ending in the very near future gents!

[gregmoeck]

Looks sorta like Seiko monster or whatever they are called

[Mick P]

Chaps

Pure vulgar tat.

Sorry but it it looks like it is something you would win in a gaming arcade.

Very sad.
