So the new SD50 weighs less than the DSSD. That will be a big plus for those that dont like a heavier watch.

sensui · 2 May 2017, 01:28 AM

Good stuff. Enjoy in good health and thanks again for the info.

WAK4 · 2 May 2017, 01:43 AM

GreenLantern · 2 May 2017, 01:49 AM

Absolutely fantastic!

Congrats. Thank you for sharing all these great comparison shots.

Enjoy in good health!

SubMarine · 2 May 2017, 01:51 AM

Dial looks matte?

eonflux · 2 May 2017, 01:51 AM

Congrats on an awesome watch!

Do you think the hands and bezels of the SD43 and DSSD are the same size, or just very close?

Would love to see side-by-side pics of the SD43 and DSSD clasps.

Really nice, another in the north east with a D Blue and a BLNR as well. I'm also on the list for the sea dweller

You don't happen to have an Omega Planet Ocean as well do you

Ha, I live just over the river, I can imagine you waiting outside, I was like that at Newcastle for Daytona C and Deepsea Blue.
Enjoy the watch great and one of the first if not the first post I've see with it in hand. Great

I do have a PO Anthony :) - the BLNR belongs to Andrew from Goldsmiths, fingers crossed thats the next one for me though and hope you don't have to wait too long for your Sea Dweller..

Do you deal with the Metrocentre, or Newcastle?

Hi Andrew,
I deal with Newcastle but I do know Andrew from the metro centre store. I may have a tough choice soon though as I'm waiting for a Daytona which apparently won't be much longer (fingers crossed).
Really like your new sea dweller though!

I know Rolex updated the SD4K because the Sub was eatings its sales and now it looks like they may have to update the DSSD as the SD43 will eat its sales....

dare I say that mine are "safe queens" and have only worn the DSSD in the house for a few moment..

I am tempted to sell my PO and actually start and wear the SD43 and I really like it.

chong2k · 2 May 2017, 03:17 AM

Will you actually wear any of these watches?

I did have to make a second trip back to the metro centre this afternoon with said wife and 4 kids, so all in all its been a bit of a "yoyo day" for me.. But she knows I could have worse vices, so alls good in love and war ..

I think I'm 3rd on the list at the metro for a Daytona.. Are you wanting white or black face?

Wear them all! (Not at the same time as that would just look silly).
Then, if your thinking of selling one get it serviced and it's good as new

Watches meant to be worn. Just not when your welding as that did mess up my PO bezel which had to be replaced unfortunately

thats what Andrew was telling me today, told me I should be wearing them,,

I did receive a 16200 for my 21st birthday back in 1993, and I wore that for 10 years and wow its battered, been tempted to have it serviced and the glass replaced, but then it wouldn't be "my watch"

Just wear them anyway, the first scratch is always the worst but then it's over with and you can just enjoy them

I do understand from the collectors point of view why you'd keep them locked up but it just feels nice having the choice to wear a different model on your wrist.

Huge Congratulations on a beautiful watch!

And thanks for the pictures and the youtube video!!

The dial looks to be the same size as BLNR... is the larger size due to larger bezel?

I'm waiting for white. My brother managed to get a SS black (from Andrew in the metro centre as it happens) so it's got to be a white dial now

I do prefer the white as it happens but can't help but think the black will look better in years to come.

I think the black will stand the test of time, but they're both beautiful pieces

Very true.
On another note I do like the platinum Daytona as well, but just don't think I could accept the depreciation.
That being said, when I tried one on a while back it was a very heavy piece to the point where you'd always be aware it's hanging there.

Freakin Awesome video Sir @Abyss

I think the ceramic ball bearing rotation system of the racheting bezel for the SD50 has also been updated , another patent perhaps ? The bezel rotation appears to have a gear-like industrial feel to it , reminds me of a Damasko. I have an Omega PO 8500 model and I can tell you the bezel clicks here seems louder, crispier and of a higher pitch
