Hi all,

I picked up a DSSD last week from Mappin & Webb in London, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

I did note, however, that my watch is a "G" series, which I haven't heard anyone mentioning around the traps, here or anywhere else.

Is this a very recent addition? My serial number is a quite a low number, if that helps at all...

Cheers!

Yes, very new. I have seen 3 green LV Sub-C's that start with G. I have no idea if the numbers are sequential though.

Welcome and enjoy!

The DSSD is my favorite that I have

A BIG congrats and welcome to the DSSD fraternity! So how do you like it thus far? And what was it that made you ultimately go with this vs. the many other superb Rolex timepieces???

Just curious to learn your perspective on things. Again, a BIG WELCOME!! It's a wonderful timepiece anyway you look at it!

Firstly, massive apologies for the terribly late reply... I made the mistake of not signing up to get email notifications, and only just got back from hols last weekend and doing the rounds on TRF for the first time subsequently.

The DSSD is just a great watch, with great technology (fliplock/glidelock FTW!), a great case with amazing wrist presence, and to my tastes looks absolutely stunning. Every time I open up my Rolex box (which isn't always when I wish to wear it, I must say!), I'm never disappointed - and that's all I can ask for!

I also like the fact that I don't see it being worn on wrists as often as many of the other Rolex models (e.g. SD, Daytona, Datejust), at least here in London...

I simply can't fault it!

that's great to hear that you're enjoying a sense of exclusivity and uniqueness locally in London, that the DSSD isn't worn by everyone there.

Yes, we're also enjoying the timepiece for many of the same reasons you cited here. Truly iconic, special and very well engineered by Rolex indeed. Congrats again and ENJOY now!

My biggest turnoff? The domed crystal...

Almost looks cheap viewed at an angle IMHO..

Coke bottle glasses anyone?

First turnoff: A domed crystal. Yes I concur on this.

Second turnoff: Watch diameter should be 2mm larger to compensate for the massive thickness IMO.

Submariner ceramic is better proportioned than the DSSD and sufficient for all human/aqua activities. IMO

Are all of the current DeepSea's being shipped from Rolex "G" serials?

wiswrist · 29 March 2011, 05:39 AM

Does anyone else that recently bought a DSSD have a "G" serial?

I bought a SDDS two weeks ago from Earnest Jones in London and it was a "V" series. If that helps.

nGage7962 · 13 July 2011, 09:53 PM

I bought one in Fiji on Jul 4 and it's a V

AJAX · 14 July 2011, 09:47 AM

I'm back from my deployment but my DSSD is a V series which I purchased in 2009.

Bushido. I'm not sure who's signature it is, though.

I bought mine on 07 July 2011, G series, HK

Thought I'd add a link to this thread for tech. data.

It shows/discusses the difference between the Mk I and Mk II dials of the Deepsea.

"G" series purchased August 27, 2011.

Renen padayachee · 26 September 2011, 05:42 AM

Bloody beautiful.
Quick question.
Does this watch ever come with a green luminescence or is it only always blue?

The DSSD has always had a blue lume!

Does anyone feel that the M serial DSSD will hold its value better than others?

m_allie · 30 September 2011, 03:50 PM

no

no, it usually sells cheaper than a v series used.

In the long run, say 30 years, since there are now 2 dial fonts, a Mark I dial may be worth a bit more with equal condition watches, but time will tell here.

Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA · 9 October 2011, 04:23 AM

I bought my SeaDweller DEEPSEA in September 2011 and with Nos Series "G" from Ernest Jones in Central London.
