I saw a couple comments in here that the Deep Blue is no longer made. Does anyone know if that is actually true? IF so then did they only make 3900 of them?
thanks

japenney · 13 October 2016, 01:00 PM

Yes sorry. The AD said the one the FedEx guy is delivering to me tomorrow is 3900/3900. Best look for another watch.

Rolex has made no formal statement about the D blue being discontinued. All rumors.

JParm · 13 October 2016, 01:04 PM

Love the sarcasm that people here display towards new members . VERY helpful.

As far as I have read, the watch has not been discontinued yet. I think it's all conjecture.

IAN1 · 13 October 2016, 01:05 PM

I hope they do.

Golflife2 · 13 October 2016, 01:20 PM

Its still on the website as well. So I doubt it's discontinued.

olddufus · 13 October 2016, 01:21 PM

Good point

AJM914 · 13 October 2016, 01:32 PM

Still in production

Ryuden · 13 October 2016, 01:52 PM

When you frequent TRF on a daily basis every single day, you get why regulars and residence here responded the way they did to threads like is it safe, is this going to be discontinued, ect... I am getting there too...

It matters not if they do discontinued it or not...but if they do, i hope its gonna be the classic black rather than the DBlue.

Welcome to TRF!

If you used the search function you would see that this topic comes up every so often, thus some of us banter a bit our responses :-)

To your question, no it is not discontinued, but it is an often used sales tactic at ADs to say so.

olddufus · 13 October 2016, 01:59 PM

There are interesting theories out there.

They've surely sold far more than 3,900. It has not been discontinued -- I think that if this were to occur, it would be announced at Baselworld (watch convention) which takes place every spring

stash21 · 13 October 2016, 04:22 PM

I picked one up yesterday so not discontinued yet.

Why would you love it when people are sarcastic? I actually feel like it's not very helpful.

No, I didn't. I was also joking around. He used sarcasm to point out that sarcasm isn't helpful.

Vivalas · 13 October 2016, 05:35 PM

Still being made, just in short supply.

dht_tubes · 13 October 2016, 05:44 PM

I guess this model still available until all rolex fans trust completely rolex still in production.

So that's perfect time to discontinued DSSD

LOL

japenney · 13 October 2016, 05:47 PM

I am sorry i made a sarcastic response towards the OP. Especially since he is a new member. Lets keep it friendly and not have this D blue thread turn into last months

RKTudor · 13 October 2016, 08:41 PM

There's a reason news stations repeat the news over and over. The audience constantly changes. I understand that's not a perfect analogy, but isn't repitition a great way to learn? No one is ever forcing any one of us to post, so how about being inclusive?

GMT Aviator · 13 October 2016, 09:31 PM

The Platinum dial Yacht Master has just been discontinued.

Another iconic Rolex slides into the history books.

WEST HAM ROLEX · 13 October 2016, 10:41 PM

It can't be - its on the official Rolex website

Big Bill · 13 October 2016, 10:54 PM

The AD were I purchased my D-Blue has one in their safe for sale along with a BLNR. He didn't mention anything about discontinuing the D-Blue.

olddufus · 13 October 2016, 10:59 PM

Actually, I don't mind the sarcasm as long as you guys tell me it is sarcasm..

It is interesting to follow this one, since it is the only one ever made by Rolex that only commemorates a person or event. Cant imagine that this will remain as a regular produced watch for long.

Why?

They will make it and sell it as long as there is demand.

watchwatcher · 14 October 2016, 12:22 AM

The only thing that's curious to me about the D-Blue is that it was introduced and released outside of the "normal" Basel cycle.

Now, if that means anything...I don't know. But it sure is one good looking watch, IMO.

Ragna · 14 October 2016, 12:55 AM

Some say, like the known dealer Mr. Paul Thorpe, that the Dblue was already a trick to revive the bad sales..
