I like it..

Maxi-dial....more meat everwhere......

It is now set apart from the Sub and not just a deeper version of the same watch...

The date window that mirrors the opposite indice marker is great. full markers around the bezel....I love it...........

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.....

EvEr34 · 3 April 2008, 02:14 AM

OK if you want one then I want one too.

904L_addict · 3 April 2008, 02:15 AM

Count me in. I like it and I'm getting one.

Could be wrong, but it looks like it has a matte dial too.

Thani · 3 April 2008, 02:17 AM

i dont like it

redcalx · 3 April 2008, 02:20 AM

Yeah, not a fan either. Infact, I'm not a fan of anything Rolex is releasing this year. The Daytona is not bad I suppose, but overall I think this years offering is underwhelming.

ALTAADAM007 · 3 April 2008, 02:20 AM

I do like as well. But recently I have been "in to" the chunkier pieces so I am happy I waited on an SD purchase!

frostie · 3 April 2008, 02:21 AM

Sorry guys not my taste

fear · 3 April 2008, 02:21 AM

It's ok. It's one big blocky bastid for sure. I hear somewhere that its $8,000.

But all that writing, for all to see. There's more room on the case back. I guess Rolex needs to assert itself.

CoopJr · 3 April 2008, 02:23 AM

I think it looks like a Tank

It's on my RADAR.

Here's the backside stolen from another site...

Looks like a see through case...

ohsixx · 3 April 2008, 02:25 AM

I am still undecided. Is it 42MM?

904L_addict · 3 April 2008, 02:26 AM

it sure does. would be nice to see that blue spring in action

kcmo · 3 April 2008, 02:28 AM

Hmmm, not sure how I feel. The dial looks a bit busy to me....

JohnEaton · 3 April 2008, 02:28 AM

Agree total over-kill give me the old SD anyday, or one of the vintage ones with the proper maxi dial.Wonder what they will come up with next year one rated to 10000m.

Jedi · 3 April 2008, 02:37 AM

Looks like a Seiko Sports 5 Diver...

Yuk

Subfiend · 3 April 2008, 02:43 AM

This picture is an illustration of what the water pressure does at a depth of 12,500 feet. Both of the little cups were once 12 ounce coffee cups like the cup on the right. The cup in the middle was subjected to the ambient pressure at a depth of 12,460 feet (6000psi) on a dive to Titanic. The cup on the left was subjected to the ambient pressure on a dive to 16,000 feet (8,000psi).

If you were wearing the new Rolex Deep Sea on either of these dives, your head would look like the cup long before your watch did. Cheers!

JJ Irani · 3 April 2008, 02:43 AM

Sorry, very disappointing.

Having said that, wonder what modifications have been made to the bracelet and the clasp?

fear · 3 April 2008, 02:44 AM

Looks like Rolex Sunk-Deeper into the blingy depths....

From the side look on post #15, itseems like it's been upgraded to the latest clasp..

Tools · 3 April 2008, 02:51 AM

Domed crystal, flush with the ceramic bezel ??...This is earth-shaking stuff for Rolex...

Jedi · 3 April 2008, 02:51 AM

And I think I'm more interested in the movement.... what have they done there??

904L_addict · 3 April 2008, 02:51 AM

I don't remember, but was there as much resistance to the GMTIIC when it was released?
There seems to be a lot of early hatred towards the DSSD.

Excellent! More supply for those that want one.

chris_nor_cal · 3 April 2008, 02:55 AM

i think it looks awesome and i want one. i just hope they dont make the cost prohibitive--i think 8 grand would be ludicrous.

shoppy · 3 April 2008, 02:56 AM

I have put my list down at the two AD's I use. I am the first on there list for this and the new WG Sub.

ohsixx · 3 April 2008, 02:57 AM

I will at least go look at one. I wonder how long before it will be at the ADs?
