unclesallie · 6 April 2008, 05:37 AM

well, my comment is: it's a great looking watch, but how could anyone have bought one ALREADY??? where would they be available other than in Basel, Switzerland?
best, dan

p.s. if you look at the watch while you're driving will it tend to get you into an accident?

I was just hypotheticating on how future SDDS buyers would react once they had acquired the watch, Dan!!

"I forgot to screw-down the crown and I dove to 11,900 ft, is my watch STILL waterproof?

Yes it is....but are you?

ttannert · 6 April 2008, 05:44 AM

Will I still live if I go down to 11.900 ft. I know the watch will be fine but will I?

DSJ · 6 April 2008, 05:45 AM

"I use this watch for snorkeling (no more than 11 feet down), should I have it pressure tested monthly?"

Trini · 6 April 2008, 05:46 AM

Why does my new Deep Sea have this hideous writing on the chapter ring which is :

1. Completely unnecessary and useless to the owner
2. Is an ugly stain on an otherwise good looking watch
3. Makes the dial look very busy & pedestrian in design (unlike a nice clean PP, IWC or other)
4. Removes the timeless effect the older tool watches have and makes it seem clumsy

why ?

Jimbits76 · 6 April 2008, 05:46 AM

The question which will annoy me the most will be...

"I've just got the call for a Deep Sea. How much will it be worth...should I buy it or invest in unit trusts/precious metals/property etc?"

J

Jimbits76 · 6 April 2008, 05:48 AM

Or....

"I've just got the call for the DSSD. However I hate it. It's damn ugly and it should be consigned to Rolex Hell. Who wants to buy it. Only $1500 above list?"

J

f16570 · 6 April 2008, 05:49 AM

Is it safe to wear in high humidity climates?
Will I have to have my safe re-inforced? (to accomodate the weight)
Will my left bicep be bigger than my right?
Do you shower with yours on? Is it safe?

timepup · 6 April 2008, 05:50 AM

How about this one:

Is the power reserve in the SDDS enough to get me through all of the decompression stops from 4000 ft down?!?

JJ Irani · 6 April 2008, 05:51 AM

Great comments, guys.....keep 'em coming!!

seantk · 6 April 2008, 06:07 AM

-I just found streaks on my Deep Sea dial, should I send it to RSC

-Should I buy the Deep Sea now before the price increase or wait and see if they introduce "The Abyss" (deeper sea) at Baselworld

-Do you think the Deep Sea looks too big on my 6 3/4" wrists

Felly Jr. · 6 April 2008, 08:48 AM

Here's one that's bound to come up: I just bought a new brand "X" watch winder and was wondering what setting to use.

I think a good ol' fashion TRF poll is in order.

If you live in Canada you can take the bracelet off and use the case for a hockey puck!

Incurable · 6 April 2008, 08:57 AM
