Not sure where this photo comes from but it shows the New Deepsea along side the current Sea Dweller. Apologies if its already been posted.

Whilst I love the watch and have one on order and I am getting nervous as it looks pretty huge on this guys wrist!

Of course, even the Seadweller looks big on his wrists but mine are only 7 inches so i guess it will look huge on me too, time will tell!

Phill (UK) · 29 July 2008, 05:43 PM

I think you forgot something

The photo!

It has been shown before, and that guy has super skinny wrists so take no notice what it looks like on him. I'm sure it will look ok on an average wristed guy

Agree the guy in that photo has skinny wrists, any way the watch is 43mm there are many watches out there with that same size try one of them just to have a clue how it would be , if the size matter !!

I think that these photos may already of been posted here.
But still,they are nice to see again.

No worries...that guy is Mr. Pencil Wrist. Look how the SD case hangs over the edge of his wrist. He's got no business sporting either watch...should probably look into something along the 36-38mm case design. Now, if you too are Mr. Pencil Wrist Jr. & your Sub/SD case hangs over your wrist...well then, I think you might have a problem. Cheers.

Looks fab.... I do like...... :-)

deltona · 29 July 2008, 08:06 PM

Fortunately i'm not Mr Pencil Wrist, my daytona almost looks small on my wrist by modern standards. I just hope you dont have to be Mr. Pint Glass Wrist to wear a Deepsea!

I had to order one extra link for my SD and 2 for my Daytona just to get them to fit right around my wrist without cutting off circulation.
I am looking forwards to a larger watch.
I am not Mr. Pint Glass Wrist but I think the SD looks too small on my wrist.
I hope the band is wider to match the face!!!

marshallr47 · 30 July 2008, 03:23 AM

That's a significant difference. 40mm is about all my wrist can handle.

cmcm3 · 29 July 2008, 09:33 PM

Is it bad that I prefer the original?

Why Rolex?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????????!!!!!!!!!!!

You know, regarding the dial sizes, I have never noticed that they are the same until you pointed it out. Interesting.

Yes, I like the original one better too... especially since 40mm with a steel bracelet is as big as I can go...

Was trying a Omega "James Bond" SMP and it was too big for me. The Submariner is as big as I can go, though it is twice the price of the SMP. No hope that I can carry the DEEPSEA. I am sure that there are some people who will like it. Some people need bigger watches than 40mm.

ronintt · 29 July 2008, 11:18 PM

Not taken by the writing at all, why does it need that?
Surely any one who bought it for diving would know what it was capable of, i do like the size though.

wean_sg · 29 July 2008, 11:35 PM

If it's the same movement i.e. the 3135, wouldn't the dials and hands be interchangeable?

Just an interesting thought

The words are self-hyping; seductive in a way but meaningless as to purpose. My eye is taken immediately to the writing rather than to telling time, which is a negative in my book. Could not the same thing be said of the increase in size?

Trurolexer · 30 July 2008, 12:52 AM

WOW!!! So HUGE!!!

I agree 100%

sea-dweller · 30 July 2008, 01:10 AM

MR op · 30 July 2008, 01:41 AM

the deepsea is amazing

the best rolex so far...can't wait for mine !

the SD will soon sleep in the vault for a loooooong time!

Z-Sub · 30 July 2008, 02:55 AM

lose that writing in the inner ring and maybe the flat crystal then I'll think about getting one.
Really don't like the extra original gas.......on bezel. too crowded.
it belongs to the case back.

What a waste. If I got one, I would wear it for a loooooong time!

GMTJOHNNY · 30 July 2008, 09:37 AM

one word for DSSD - Leviathan...
That wath is just, well, H U G E .

SLS · 30 July 2008, 02:14 AM

Look at the size of those lugs....I am worried that the bracelet is going to look to small! The bracelet on the GMT IIc could have stood to be a bit wider IMO, but I still like it. However, if my memory is correct, that is still a 20mm bracelet on the DS and that is going to look disproportionate.

Again, I will await final judgement until I get the call to come see it.

Tools · 30 July 2008, 02:21 AM

I think that they have bumped the bracelet end-link and lug width up to 22mm on the DeepSEa.

But that is one of my problems with the new block case on the GMT and this one..

The block look and the wider individual lugs makes the bracelet look disproportionate..

Larry,
I agree that in photographs the bracelet on the GMT IIC looks too narrow,but on my hand now it looks just perfect......

I think if the bracelet was wider it may look a bit like the Oysterquartz....
