Now that I have one they can discontinue it ; )
Adds to the mystery of it all.

Here in UK impossible to get at AD as they only even get 1 every 6 months if lucky they cannot put you on a list for one either as too many people already asking and they don't know their allocation either. They also say it's limited edition and strongly indicate it will eventually cease to be a available at all.
The last part I'm not sure but certainly looks like at some point that will be the case that this watch will have a very limited run duration. Already prices are being asked at £9.5k to over £10k and will only continue to climb due to scarecity. If it is ceased in production then there will be even further demand and prices going up even more. But who knows

I agree. Luckily for me I have a good relationship with my AD and bought my green sub there and after much chatting the manager agreed to put me top of the list (of about 15). Their last one went out at Christmas so hoping they are due one in the next few weeks and will be all over it hopefully posting a pic :)

Can't wait to see it and trust me you will love the D blue it's an awesome watch in every respect nothing quite like it - the dial the dome the glide lock (take extension link off and make sure you can adjust up and down for the best fit) the original ceramic milsub style bezel, the blue lume, the diving credentials of it, the watch is amazing.

The gradient really makes the watch special. It's a bit big for me though, unfortunately.

So I called my AD and they said removing the diver extension isn't something they would do? Seems EVERYONE removes it though as natural thing to do

Question : when it is folded over and not being used, I don't see what difference it would make by removing it completely? Does it make it a tiny tiny bit thinner overall, is that why?

Your AD won't remove the extension which is basically the same as removing a link?

Once removed, it allows the bracelet to follow the wrist better on that end. Unless you have a huge wrist, it does make a difference.

Just came back from the AD. Originally went for the Hulk (they did not have one :(), so I used the opportunity to try on the DSSD. Unfortunately they only had the black version, otherwise I might have ended up buying one... (BTW, the black also looks really nice.) Nevertheless, I've tried it on and it did not look or feel too large on my wrist. However looking at it from the side the hight is pretty significant and has me worried a bit.

What are your experiences? Is that a non-issue? Or do you ever feel that it's a bit "clunky"?
