If anyone wants an SD4K, last time I visited my AD, they had 2 in the case.

yannis · 22 March 2017, 10:22 PM

Looks good to me!

RobearH · 22 March 2017, 10:22 PM

Wait is this just the DSSD case w/o the Ring Lock?

rushca01 · 22 March 2017, 10:23 PM

Hate it....like really don't like it all. Some will which is good for them but not the watch for me.

sco · 22 March 2017, 10:23 PM

My next prediction is a lot of smaller wristed people asking if the new SD is too big on them. The answer will most likely be yes

Too big. 43mm is a massive watch.

Gary. · 22 March 2017, 10:25 PM

Not keen on the size but I can understand it to some extent. Lots of people complained the the sd4000 should have gone up a size to fill the gap between the Sub and the dssd. The red is nice, too.

BUT A CYCLOPS?????!!!! SERIOUSLY? On a SEA Dweller?????

Oh, for crying out loud!!!!!!

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory....

pop4 · 22 March 2017, 10:25 PM

Cyclops. On a freaking Sea-Dweller. Hell NO.

adambb71 · 22 March 2017, 10:26 PM

Why on earth have they put a cyclops on it??? The whole idea of the SD and DSSD not having cyclops was so that the watch could be used safely for saturation diving! The watches' intended purpose for crying out loud. That's why they have a helium escape valve!

I hate it, big time.

xlarge · 22 March 2017, 10:26 PM

I think the thickness is the same as the "old" 116600.
If so then it's a winner, hands-down, imho.

Im sure glad I have my sd4000 the ultimate tool watch

Seaotter · 22 March 2017, 10:33 PM

Beautiful watchcase, love the red line.
Pity those 3 mm = Too big !!! & Pity Black, gloss finish Dial.

Love my 116600 even more !!! 40 mm & Satin Black Dial.

Gharddog03 · 22 March 2017, 10:37 PM

Nice watch but would love to know the thickness. I could of done without the cyclops. Liking the red font.

DocHorton · 22 March 2017, 10:39 PM

Awesome!! They finally make a sport watch for those who appreciate a larger size, but without the terrible looking ring inside like the DSSD. The red font is killer as well.

Sea Dweller 4000
2014-2017

"The unpopular kid on the block"

RIP

Note: If Rolex did indeed discon 40mm, it's probably the shortest production modern Rolex in history. Market since Q3 2014 and ended Q1 2017, about 30 months. Even the Explorer 1 214270 "short hand" released in 2010 only updated in 2016, bearing same model number but with longer hands and lumed 3,6,9.

TCMS · 22 March 2017, 10:42 PM

I like it and the size is right.

Uncle00Jesse · 22 March 2017, 10:46 PM

As a 6'4 red blooded male with 8" wrists, this release is like heaven. Hate on it all you want, it will just make it easier for me to acquire this year :)

"Burned at the stake" LOL

Speaking of predictions, I believe a member predicted the demise of the 116600 back in January. He also predicted many things in his OP. I wonder if he got them right.

I believe he was burned at the stake as well, LOL

theken · 22 March 2017, 10:49 PM

Discontinued 116600 was $10,400, new model is $11,350.
It will be interesting to see where the comparative prices settle on these.
The 40mm 116600 was a very slow seller for the ADs I do business with.
I think the new 43mm 116600 will significantly cannibalize sales from the 116660 Deepsea.
If you actually dive with your Seadweller and the cyclops is an issue, it probably can be removed by your watchmaker.

SeamasterGMT · 22 March 2017, 10:49 PM

I love the size. Hate the cyclops
Not sure why the crystal can't be flush. Domed crystal looks so good on the DSSD flush with the bezel.
Red font is like sticking an a badge on a car to make it look like a faster variant.

jenniferjanef · 22 March 2017, 10:49 PM

The cyclop is a must since the increase in the case size. Otherwise the date will out of place i.e. too close to the centre of the dial

smellychips · 22 March 2017, 10:50 PM

people hate change! .... this is absolutely beautiful. owner of a DSSD and a sub (no date) i'm itching to add this

the SD4K had no appeal what-so ever for me! ..bland was an understatement' this is a winner

I like it. But would rather have a regular Deepsea

Do not forget the TOG

Trailblazer · 22 March 2017, 10:56 PM

I am sure glad I got my SDc.

Guess some owners might remove that cyclops somehow.

lindstd · 22 March 2017, 10:59 PM

It it nice but would have been more desired at 42mm. I am also very curious of case thickness. That is just as important in my opinion. Omega 43mm PO 600, is a whopping 16.05mm thick. It looks like a hockey puck on a wrist.
