My first Rolex was a SeaDweller because it was the one universally recognized watch I could use when I was in a chamber - which I was a couple times a week. The Deepsea was a natural progression for me …. (the bigger dial is golden in less-than-perfect enviroments) I will be the first one to admit that there is no prettier Rolex in a showroom case that the two-tone Deepsea (well, maybe the bluesy) - but put it on your wrist with that color gradient and all the fonts and it becomes unreadable - particularly under water. In my mind, the Rolex black dial on the stainless is the classic tool watch. Oh, and the reference to ‘SeaDweller’ on it’s dial is just a cool nod to it’s ancestry. My 2 cents …

Not that I ever plan on selling any of my watches, but just curious does the DeepSea hold its value similar to other Rolex models? |

I think the DSSD, especially in black, is one of the easier watches to grab at an AD. I routinely see used blacks models in the 10k range . The sheer size limits those of use who can wear it. I would never buy a DSSD at retail

In some different lighting situations. Still maintain it’s the best dial (on an SS watch) in the catalogue! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How the market has changed in the last 30 months or so! When I got mine at retail in March of ‘22 they were selling for over $20k on the secondary market…crazy how fast things change. Didn’t buy mine to flip and don’t regret my purchase at retail in the least, but it’s interesting to see how things have moved around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the latest black dial without the Sea-Dweller script and the slightly larger date window. I really think it’s an amazing watch. The tech is over the top, the dial and hands are so legible, and as far as I know, it’s the only modern Rolex with a domed crystal. All features I love.
