Incoming from Takuya!! part 2

Hey everyone, been wanting a second Rolex for a while now and finally pulled the trigger. I'm loving the DSSD D-Blue and with the 116610LV makes a great one-two punch of Rolex diving muscle with truly interesting dials. I've read that dials are what really makes watches collectable along with lower volume production, so I've really tried to stick to those principles
(along with Steel Sports Rolex...aka SSR) without further ado...

Beautiful watch. Enjoy that dial without looking at its future value. My Deep Blue is not going anywhere ever.

Great choice Geoffrey! I've been thinking of getting this watch for a long time. If you don't mind me asking, what size wrists do you have?

Thanks for all the feedback, I know my collection is very diver heavy (I also have a Breitling Superocean2, a Tag Aquaracer and many Seikos), but I live near the ocean and go swimming/fishing often and have always loved dive watches, to me this is the "King" diver

The King indeed. All wrists off the table when D-Blue enters the room!

Congrats!! .. Looks great .. Once you buy your first Rolex, it is impossible not to buy a second Rolex .. Then it starts .. You buy a third, a forth, and so on lol .. You've been bitten by the bug .. There is no cure, but no worries .. It's always fun

Great looking watch. I considered it before going with the blue sunburst dial yacht master. The Deep Blue is a pretty hefty watch and I wasn't sure I could pull it off. You can though, congrats
