Deepsea Challenge
Well, after a two year wait I’ve finally joined the DSC club! Not to everyone’s tastes but I’m really enjoying this so far. Will try and post more/ better pics when I can.

Congratulations I am sure you will be thrilled with it. I wear mine most days and no one pays attention. It was supplied by Preston’s in Leeds and I still enjoy Whitelocks in the city centre, when visiting.
I have found my Challenge to be very durable, and doesn’t appear to attract scratches.
Best wishes for the future, and don’t forget to wear it.

Congrats! It's executed very, very nicely, both aesthetically and ergonomically, despite its size! Enjoy it to the fullest!

I know the feeling. Hopefully lighting can strike twice. I would wear the challenge into the shop a couple times and tell them how much you love it.... 'If only it was a size I could wear daily.'

Congratulations I am sure you will be very happy with your new DSC, it’s an engineering marvel.
I purchased mine in August 2023 from Preston’s Rolex Boutique in Leeds and have worn it every day since then. No one appears to notice the watch when out and about, and haven’t passed a comment.
Still enjoy trips to Leeds to my favourite bar Whitelocks.
All the best for the future and don’t forget to wear your DSC.

I'm delighted with it thanks and very surprised with how it wears. Not quite "dailying it" but not far off!

Interesting that's where you got your allocation from given where you're located! I was in Preston's just last week browsing but they aren't interested in me as a customer which is fine. I tend to use Lister Horsfall.

Not been in Whitelocks in years!

I have been a customer for some time prior to moving location, only recently. Also purchased watches from Lister Horsfall in Ilkley, and Halifax Both companies have been good to deal with.
I don’t think there are many DSC’s about in the uk, and when I purchased mine they had only sold one previously, and I believe one since.

Thanks Roy. Yes Nick and his team have looked after me and my family for a good few years. We live out that way. Just had an invite from them yesterday as they sponsor the ilkley cycle races. Have a great weekend.

Awesome. But that thing is a beast. I figure one link on each side of the band and the buckle and it’s sized. I love the technology in the deepseas. Rolex definitely didn’t make that because we needed it. They made it because they could. Wear it in good health.
