Excellent assertion--the way it looks and is.

It is most definitely a deep blue. The shirt reflection is non existent.

My phones been buzzing all morning because of this topic on tapatalk. Looking at the pictures closely it's not even a deepsea at all it's a submariner if you look closely at the bezel there's no minute dots around the outer edge.

I saw that special. It was very interesting for sure and I did notice the watch.

Would like to eventually pick up a DSSD at some point.

Again it's a poor iPhone pic made further poor by the resolution requirements of TRF. Later in the show you see it from the side profile. Cant mistaken that hockey puck anywhere lol

Ah, this is one of the threads I was referencing in my orig post. Many debated there. Since this is maybe the second time outside of that mentioned ref in that thread, I thought this was worth posting.

No reason to elevate the matter into science :) He may have a hundred Rolexes.. Plus I do not believe that the celebrities buy whatever they wear.

You're delusional.
Have a look at the end links.
It's a DSSD of some description and the pics also show a line of Kawasaki Green at the top row in the bottom half of the dial.
There's even a cyclopsless date window opposite the 9 o'clock batton.

Besides, it can't possibly be a Sub as it looks too good

It's the DB, I can just make out the green text. I'm sure JC, Jimmy to his mates, rotates his watches like a good WIS... and I should also get first crack at buying it too.

Anyone who owns a D-BLUE and happened to watch that program last night would confirm what's on JC's wrist..

There were many shots of the watch that showed thickness (DSSD), end on, and color (Blue fade to black).

No doubt in my mind. It's nice to see a watch I'm very familiar with, on TV, on his wrist..

Nice try mate.
Now for my account of why it's actually mine.

You see i was round at Jimbo's place a while ago for a barbie and we hit the turps a bit too much. (As we usually do)
We were so off our faces that we couldn't shoot straight playing our game of pool.
Anyhow, according to everybody and so the story goes(which i can't really recall) we got into an argument about the best Bracelet adjustment and some how ended up swapping our watches to compare fit as mine still has the Divers extention in, and he read on this forum that it's better taken out, so he went that way with his.
Now nobody can recall us swapping our watches back the next day after we slept it all off.
Guess what.
I'm wearing a watch minus the divers extention as i tap and hating the fit, but for obvious resons i'm not going to mention it to him whe we get together again for Chrissie.
So as i say.
It's my watch.

I'm pretty sure I'm not James Cameron though so that's one down.

Oh yes it will have been definitely free.

The way I look at it is. He may have a D-Blue on but has he really earned it and does his lifestyle really warrant having a divers watch of such magnitude

The last time I was working on a construction site(many, many years ago now).
I worked with a chap whose older brother was childhood a friend of Mick Jagger.

That's all
