Not normally a fan of the deapsea, but the gold and blue works really well here IMO.

Still, a watch that I would never want to wear or own.

true, but it can serve as a weapon, should you find yourself under attack by an assailant. pretty sure you could beat a man to death with that thing

Thicker than cold peanut butter.

Still, a beautiful watch.

I passed on one a few weeks ago as it seemed crazy for a heavier version of my Deep Blue!

What are your thought about the amount of these pieces that wil be released into the open market. I heard that one of the UK dealers only received 2 of them.

Thoughts and answers appreciated.
Of course, it may not be a favourite to most, but I think it's unique.

Hail to the king, kiss the bezel.

I absolutely love it. It’s so much fun, folks need to stop taking this stuff so seriously. If you have the $$$, it’s a fun piece, like a rainbow Daytona, it’s not for everyone.

Yeah, I thought that and then….

They finally got the dial right. If they come out with a flat blue lacquer dial for the bluesy to match the bezel, I might be back.

A friend of mine has been looking for one. He doesn’t have a relationship with an AD and doesn’t want to pay the ridiculous markup the greys are currently asking. Anyone know of a US AD that has or can get one? The AD’s he’s visited in the Twin Cities have been noncommittal.

the blue dial just doesn't match the gold case, hard pass.

Tried one on at my AD recently.
I thought the blue was stunning but it is a heavy beast to wear.
