anyone know when the new Sd will be in AD in USA? I heard that it was suppose to be in stores by august 2008.

Thank you.

mike · 7 August 2008, 10:19 AM

Ha! Not soon enough.LOL! I've heard everything from August to September to October to 2009.

I'm guessing in the fall in some places (if only I knew where).

Atlanta · 7 August 2008, 10:23 AM

Earliest rumor I have heard is September - consensus seems to be sometime in December.

learnmore60 · 7 August 2008, 11:33 PM

Yes AD's are now telling me Nov-Dec...

Either some production problems, due to it being a totally new model. Or they want to push out other models like the RG Daytona coming out now for people to buy first and then phase in the new Deep Sea later..

BigHat · 8 August 2008, 01:17 AM

It's not just Rolex but I find it bogus that Basel displays mock-ups and not real production watches and then 6-8 months pass before you can buy the darn thing.

I have been told only Zenith has their watches available for sale immediately after the Basel show. That's a brand on the move too.

GBJIV · 8 August 2008, 01:40 AM

My AD says Dec for the DSSD as well. I think they are trying to be conservative - She knows I'll go in there every day.... :)

Her rep definitely said that it would not go past the new year.

f16570 · 8 August 2008, 02:09 AM

The wait will be worth it.

rkboyer911 · 8 August 2008, 02:22 AM

My AD says wont be till after the 1st of the year...So does anyone really know?? LOL I guess the day it shows up on here that someone bought one we will know they are out and ready to shine!

wristworks · 8 August 2008, 02:29 AM

It's already out in the Philippines so can't be a production problem.

rkboyer911 · 8 August 2008, 02:45 AM

I think I felt the Earth shake when you hit the post button on that last post!!

People are going to be scrambling to get one now!! Im so ate up w/ it I have the screen saver that Rolex has on there website of the DSSD. The wife seen it on there this morning and went OMG! You want that one how much is it? Then she was oh wow it has the correct time on it! Hummmmmmmmm

pilfilr · 8 August 2008, 03:00 AM

A moderator to WatchProSite forum listed the DSSD's started shipping last week. I am first on my list at my local AD.... Have been since the first webshot back in May from Basil. My AD does not get anymore information than we do about the time scale. He knows he will get 2 by December (all going well). The mailman stops by my business first... and he tells me

daily if my AD has a watch arriving :} Cheers.

Based on one unconfirmed thread from another site... I will believe it when a TRF member posts pix. I remain skeptical that one is on the street.

My AD said they will have 2 before the end of the year

mickeydainish · 8 August 2008, 09:49 PM

those are awsome pics... MMMmmmmmm!!! :-)

moby33 · 9 August 2008, 03:28 AM

I hate to admit it (no, not really) but I'm digging the new DS more & more. From those pics, the writing is not as bad as I thought & I love the size. People will moan until the end of time anything bigger than 40mm is TOO big...but I think this new version at 43mm is going to be absolutely perfect for a lot of people like me that were looking for something a little bigger from Rolex.

And don't even get me started on that new clasp...thank you Rolex for FINALLY installing a clasp that is on par w/ the rest of the watch!!!

Don't misunderstand - I am hopeful it is out, but skeptical.

In these pix - no box, no papers, no covered up serial numbers, laying on a newspaper. Smells fishy!

The OP posted two pics of the Deepsea still in the box.

taylor · 9 August 2008, 09:24 AM

i LOVE that f'ing clasp!!!

JimSnyder · 9 August 2008, 09:39 AM

That just does not look balanced

Exactly, but put the same SDDS on a person with 7" or greater wrists then it would look balanced, looks like he carries a 5" wrist. He'll probably be losing 2 links on his new watch before it will fit him properly.

Is it me or does it look like the watch is bigger than his hand.

The watch looks out of proportion to his wrist size.

rkboyer911 · 9 August 2008, 11:39 AM

Hummmmm I have a 6 7/8 wrist, not wanting a Big Ben on my arm, but WOW it looks sooooo good! I want one!

Have to agree there, Jim. I saw it this morning (see my other thread), and found the watch way too thick as compared with the bracelet.

Yes the case overpowers the bracelet. I am becoming less of a fan the more I see the pics
