Revolutionary, well as far as Rolex is concerned. I love it!

If only they would intorduce it in YG!
Imagine the weight!

daytona lad · 3 April 2008, 12:57 PM

its ok, and you have to say it wins hands down in any pub talk for diving innit?

but too much boy racer car type text on it just like the new YM

miner · 3 April 2008, 01:05 PM

This pic makes it look amazing but I think there's too much text

Gil F. · 3 April 2008, 01:07 PM

I'm intrigued by the DSSD. I have the Z-series SD, and love it. I'm fairly certain I wouldn't like the BLARING writing on the top of the rehaut. Other than that, I'd love to try it on and see how it looks. The regular SD sits very high on the wrist ...it's comfortable to wear, but the height of the watch is noticeable when wearing long sleeve shirts.

I think I'd like the ceramic bezel - I imagine it has 120 clicks to it just like the current model. Plus, the maxi dial might be really good on larger size case. The maxi would look too busy if it were 40mm like the regular SD, esp with all the BLARING writing.

I'd have to see this in person. I'm afraid it could look like a wearing a Hummer strapped to one's wrist ... a little too flashy rather than the SD as the Quiet Professional's tool watch.

Thanks for the pics!

I think I'll wait for better pictures and then take a call on this!

I think the DS^2D needs its own forum!

The rehaut writing tells you it means business.

And that new depth rating....12,800ft, wow.....These can sit at the bottom of the sea for years..

I never wanted a SD before.....I want one now.....

Err buddy Larry...Orchi could not agree with you...more.

Orchi · 4 April 2008, 12:55 AM

Err buddies...for those that had disapproved of of the early Daytonas...n those who had later regretted their misjudgment then...would go on regretting NOT having liked this sooner...which in Orchi's mind...perhaps be the meanest

...most functionable

...n the coolest

of ALL diving watches ever made...in regular productions by any watch makers of this century...

MAXI DIAL · 4 April 2008, 01:00 AM

I am glad not so many people are admiring this babe. It will make it easier for me to get one.

Keep hating it guys

yeah right.............
everyone will buy it, same with the gmtII-c last year
everyone hated it, everyone bought it

Orchi · 4 April 2008, 01:26 AM

Err buddies...like many things in real life...

The more disputes...the hotter the issues.

The more controversies...the more widespread recognitions.

The more gossips...the more widespread headlines.

The more love hate feelings...the more widespread n stronger attractions...

Ahem...Rolex S.A. have been laughing to their banks ever since...

Everyone hated the GMT? Where'd you come up with that?

mic6 · 4 April 2008, 01:46 AM

anyone knows the width of the lugs of the deepsea?
are they 20mm as well?

Orchi · 4 April 2008, 02:58 AM

Err buddies...just read in the updated Rolex Official website that the Breadth of NEW SD...would be 43mm...!!! 2X

DJF881 · 4 April 2008, 05:24 AM

I think this thing is great. The SD always seemed like an offshoot of the Submariner, and never seemed fully-distinguished as its own line. Now the SD is its own thing.

Rolex has released the most rugged, most durable, most indestructible sports watch on the market. I can't even understand people viewing it as "bling." It's been tricked out with functional "tool"-type innovations, and although it's priced up-market, it's a performance sports watch.

doctorwhoprops · 4 April 2008, 05:58 AM

I am of to Basel tomorrow, i cant wait to see the new sea dweller.

Solar · 4 April 2008, 07:36 AM

See, I always felt that the SD was distinguished from the Sub in its own right. I can spot a SD from a Sub on a wrist, there is a definate difference to me between a Sub and an SD.

As much as I like the idea of a maxi dial and larger hands, that rehaut engraving ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE is just waaaay too much for my taste. If they had executed this piece without that rehaut engraving, and just the more subtle RolexRolexRolex then the new SD, with the Blue Parachrom, the ceramic bezel, improved clasp and the larger face at 43 mm would be a complete winner.

However, the other engraving is way too much and, if this thing ends up in the stratosphere of $9000 plus, then how this could really be a "sport" watch, since any divers--including commercial saturation diver I know--wouldn't really be able to afford this.

Will have to wait to see what the price will be.

There are just too many technologies listed on the watch for my liking. I think the wording "Ring Lock System" and "Original Gas Escape Valve" would annoy me every time I looked at the face.

Shame because in all other departments it looks a great tool watch.

Hear hear...

It's overkill - other than that, yes, I like. But the Rolex Rolex Rolex engraving on the rehaut and the *aaargh* printing under the crystal is a deal breaker, even if I could afford it ;)
