Nice! Got the wider bracelet finally, and new movement. Figured the JC was discontinued but instead we get a new & improved version!

It absolutely demolishes it, that’s what

It had a three year limited run and is referred to as “commemorative version”, so I wouldn’t be so sure?

Don't count on that as that is just not how it works with Rolex at least from a historical perspective. If it is like 99% of Rolex the value will go up!

I hope you're right Ken

I honestly feel a little gutted at the moment as this new one looks pretty darn spot on and I cant see "adding" in this case.

i think the original james camerons will take the the.

the original deep sea wont because the black dial distinguishes it more.

lenlec · 21 March 2018, 10:23 PM

Same here. Supposed to be collecting my deep blue for my ad next week. I prefer the new one lots more. Could I ask to transfer the money I’ve paid onto a list for a new one ?

Whilst the new one may follwo the design philosophy of the SD43 Brian, you have the proper "commemorative" Deep Sea

It's not about just JC version, even the BLACK dial version is updated now with new bracelet, new movement, new case lugs etc. So, now the older Black dial version's value will go up? I doubt it.

They're going back to the Mk1 dial???

I prefer the original - like a wide body 911 - to each his own!

Weren't there a bunch of people saying the DSSD was for sure discontinued? Slight finishing mods and new movement isn't really discontinuing it. I told a guy that just bought one in December that I heard it was being discontinued so the value of his was going to be really strong... told him he got lucky... Now I have to eat crow. Rumors... smh

christopheran · 21 March 2018, 09:33 PM

This updated version is a much more cohesive design... glad they fixed the bracelet.

Rashid.bk · 21 March 2018, 09:37 PM

What's cool now is that it seems the new watches have a little Rolex crown in the swiss made.

I think that will be the new movement marker.

Slider817 · 21 March 2018, 09:38 PM

Biggest issue was the bracelet, now that it’s fixed the watch is much more balanced. Still a bit big, but a more compelling offering

Agreed, it never looked right to my eyes.

In A/B comparison, it looks like the end links are much shorter which IMO has a very beneficial impact on the watch.

New

Old

1st gen D-Blue will do fine, it'll steadily increase in value over time as the first generation and true commemorative. Though with the new version, it's not the skyrocketing that I would have expected to take place if it was just outright discontinued.

bigpig · 21 March 2018, 10:17 PM

printings on the dial and the rehaut are different... fonts are not the same

busytimmy · 21 March 2018, 10:22 PM

Looks good

Spartacus · 21 March 2018, 10:28 PM

This definitely puts me over the edge on the JC DS.

mactruck · 21 March 2018, 10:28 PM

Looks like the clasp has changed to the submariner/SD50 style flip lock. If that's true I don't like that change.
