Good information... It really illustrates the difference(s) in the two. Better than isolated wrist shots, etc... Yep, she's a monster but remember, it's a tool not a jewel!

Was I the only one worried that the Sea-Dweller would Eat the submariner?
It really looked like a hunter-prey shot there... Looove the Blue lume. |

Nice. I'd like to see one next to a GMT-IIc to get an idea of the new Sub vs. the SDDS. Better yet - anyone have a new Sub yet?

To answer a previous question, the dial is very glossy.
Also an interesting tidbit is that the booklet that comes with the Deepsea is a Submariner brochure that doesn't even mention the Deepsea in it. Happy to share the pics with you all. I had seen several Deepsea pictures by itself but I thought showing it next to a Sub would give a good idea of the proportions of the watch. Glad you all enjoyed them! |

Watch looks great. Still don't like the writing on the ring lock. Am curious to see how the bracelet looks in the flesh - the head is balanced, but every pic I've seen makes the bracelet look a little too narrow for the watch.

The bracelet is far too narrow and it is ridiculous imho that Rolex did not bother changing the bracelet width.The thickness of the watch is very similar to the Breitling Chronomat but the latter is far more proportioned.Design wise it just doesnt look right to me.Seeing the pics has at least convinced me to stick with my ss sub and save me some dosh.

Great thread. Thanks for posting.
![]() I'm at odds with the DS. I really, really want to love it, but... to me, it doesn't look finished. It looks like a prototype that needs some fine tuning.

Utterly ridiculous in every way, even the blingy wording: "ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE", "RING LOCK SYSTEM". Won't owners get tired of reading that 5 decades from now?
