James Cameron wearing a Deep Blue

[WS9D]

So I've seen a number of threads on here about James Cameron and whether or not he wears or even owns a Deep Blue. Many have suggested he only has a sub (the one he bought after giving away his other one) that he wears. So tonight, we happened to be watching a documentary on Nat Geo about Titanic, and there was JC wearing a deep blue. The colors jumped out more on the big screen then the iPhone could capture, but it was def a deep blue. So I hope this settles the debate for a few.

Nice spotting Makes sense he would have or are least wear one. I'll bet he has one heck of a collection.

[Danny83]

He needs to join TRF

[HogwldFLTR]

Great life he's been able to lead; dangerous too. He deserves the watch!!!

[Boaters]

Looks great on his wrist

[GreenLantern]

James Cameron wearing a James Cameron always made sense to me.

Glad he finally did it!

(Previously he wore a Black Sub for like 20 years or something.)

Savour the moment ! This is the first and the last time Rolex will ever create a unique watch ( in record time outside Baselworld ) to honour a living human being and his achievements on such a monumentous event in history.It makes the D Blue an exceptional and extraordinary timepiece

I would even be willing to bet he has the very first production D-blue.
And that it was given to him by Rolex.

I wonder if the warranty card has D-blue on it????
If so, then that would make it authentic and worth more

[Godfather111]

Perhaps he was inspired by Paul Newman's Paul Newman making history, and hoping James Cameron's James Cameron becomes a thing.

Looks like a Deep Sea not a Deep Blue. The blue on top appears to be caused by a reflection. Don't see any green on the dial.

The guy has a ROLEX named after him and he's not going to wear one? Not doing so would be in poor taste.

Well, I challenge you to find pics of him wearing the Deep Sea in regular life, rather than on Rolex sponsored documentaries and Nat Geo programs. That’s the only time I’ve seen it.

that's because he is keeping it a safe queen so he can sell it in the future

[Limestonedan]

Yes, noticed it, watched it last night as well.

It is rumored that he bought his through DAVIDSW or Takuya.

I object your Honour! I seriously doubt that's the regular version of the DSSD and reflection off the s.c is not convincing enough for me.Here's a magnification of the watch and negative imaging showing 2 shades of colour distribution on the dial, unequal ( Difficult to assess from an angle) probably in a ratio on 60:40 but well demarcated nevertheless.I'm pretty confident that's Ref 116660 DSSD D-Blue

I challenge you to find something worth wasting time on. I don't care of he owns/wears one. The op commented about speculation regarding whether he owns or wears one as there's the photo. Now you want to spilt hairs about of its really his and etc.

It's common sense - according to general business practices Rolex would have gifted him one. What he does with it is his business and I don't care of he uses it as a paper weight.

Of course we all know he owns and wears one on TV. The point is that it’s likely publicity, as he filmed that video short earlier this year about his Submariner that goes everywhere with him...although that was publicity, too.

Not to mentrion the pretty glaring ommission of a third line of text under the Rolex crown - the watch pictured only appears to have two lines.

Is it even a Deepsea??

[yxc145]

Yes!!! now the price of D-Blue is gonna go up!

That is some CSI observation.

[watchwatcher]

Nice.

Megan, I hate to be negative, but you can't carry out any sensible analysis whatsoever on a blown up photograph of television picture. Its just not viable.

Never mind the "colour distribution" Can you please point out the third line of text on the dial that says "DEEPSEA" under the crown to evidence that this is even a Deepsea? I can only see two lines even in your blown up images.

The blue clearly appears to be a reflection of JC's shirt.

Yeah, it could be from any number of reflections from a lit TV shot.

[ALF61]

Definitely a Deep Blue. The watch sometimes looks a heck of a lot nicer when someone else is wearing it than your own wrist. So if it is a United States import from Rolex and it says D Bluie on the card, the value is higher eh ??

Ha Ha !!

Yeah, as I mentioned in my post, the iPhone camera could not capture the full color array the TV produced. On TV, if was def a deep blue with green text.

The deep blue only has two lines under the crown which is diff than the regular dssd. The deepsea is the top line of the 5 lines under the hands. If you look closely, you see 4 lines of white text at the bottom of the dial and a faint line of green text as the deep blue has. Unfortunately since we have to resize the image for trf, some detail is lost in the photo. On TV, the green text was very apparent to us on the couch 7 feet away.
