Will you buy the new Deep Sea ??

[Jason Spring]

My first feeling is to keep my 16600, and wait for a 1665, and not to buy the new DSSD.

So what will you do ?

[Illya Kuryakin]

DEEPSEA is definitely on my want list!

[Muigaulwurf]

I won't buy it, because i don't have the money ;)
It's quite expensive, somehow ugly but has a charm of it's own. But if you buy it now you have the chance of owning a watch of the first series. This might become interesting in 30-50 years :D

I have to see a watch (not only fotos), before I can make a decision.
Kind regards

Ordered it before Basel and saw it there for the first time.
Cool watch, better than the new Sub!
My EXIT watch! For sure!

Can´t wait to grab it :gut:

[ehemaliges mitglied]

As much as there is no such thing as a free lunch, I do not believe there is an exit watch... it keeps on going on and on... and then you find your next exit watch, and after that you find another exit watch... huhhh :jump: :jump: :jump:

I think i will take it. But where to buy, the price seems to differ a lot.

1665 is of course a very nice watch, but maybe you should not compare two very different matters.

But I must confess that with the domed cristal the ds has a slightly touch of a 1665.

[Donluigi]

I like it a lot and will decide when I get to try it on.

[NicoH]

No thanks. I might like it in a while but it would take quite a bit of getting used to.

I sold my 40mm Master Control because it looked too big on my wrist.

But you know how it goes. Someone buys it and lets me try it. I´ll start liking it. Eventually, I look through all the pictures again. Next thing I do is try it on again at the AD. I´ll start thinking about where to get the money to be able to afford it. Another GTG, another try on the wrist. By then I´ll have the money and I´ll go buy it ;)

[ulfale]

No, definitely NOT!

Btw: I´m more interested in the watch behind the deep sea!
Is this the new Moritz Grossman from GO?

[Fastclimber]

No!!! :motz: :motz: :D

[OrangeHand]

In my eyes, the DEEPSEA represents the new flagship in the Rolex "Professional" colllection. It defines what Rolex is capable of doing in the field of waterproof watch casings.

I am very impressed by the DEEPSEA. However, I do not intend to by one of them. This watch is too big and too heavy for my purposes.

No, that´s a 1920s Oyster Cushion.

Here´s a wristshot:

Volker - I'm with you. I can't see myself buying a watch this big when I wear a suit daily, but I will have to try it on first.

[NicoH]

Thanks Wum, it´s James Dowling´s watch. I wore it at the Timezone GTG on Friday =)

Edit: That´s why it´s also in the background in the first pic (DSSD wristshot). When James tried the DSSD, he put away his cushion oyster.

[MacLeon]

I'm planning to buy one. The decision will be made the moment that I see it on my wrist.

The DS is an exceptional timepiece with a great technical look :gut:

[tweakshop_be]

The more i look at it, the more i like it, but will have to try it on first, and see if it still "sings" to me ;)

[falkenlust]

I already ordered two of them, one for each Wrist :D I felt in Love at the moment i saw it the first time. Heavy Metal again, yeah :supercool:

[reddisch]

you will never wear watches on each wrist...


so why you have orered twice ? 8o

[PVH]

Looks nice, but I have to see first on my wrist...

[serpico]

nope, I'll better buy a complete 5513 from VII/1980 :ea:

Thx!!! :gut:

[jk737]

I like the DS but I think, I will skip it and save the money for a watch which I like better...

[Illya Kuryakin]

A must have for me!!

[Edmundo]

No.

On the one hand the DS will be very expensive (I can remember times when SDs could be bought for 3.700 Euro brand new at an AD. And that is not long ago.) and on the other hand I have to wear her by myself at the AD to get an feeling if that could be the right watch or not.

I would never buy a watch only because of a photo. And I am not willing to pay more than the regular price - at least not for a Sea-Dweller. The daytona is the only watch I would pay more than the regular price.

[[Dents]Milchschnitte]

I ordered it the day it was presented at the Baselworld-Show becuase from the first pictures I really like this watch.
If I stop by the AD to take a look at the watch in person I will decide if I take it or if I buy a new GMTc. I don´t see the point of buying a watch without trying it on first - maybe it will look redicilous on my wrist - who knows?

But I think I will take it :D

I would not buy it on the Grey Market at a higher asking price though

[Victor]

No, I don't think so. I don't like all the text on the dial. Besides I own a big watch (Panerai Pam 88, wich I am planning to sell because of it's size). What I like about Rolex is the modest size of 40mm. I am afraid it won't wear as comfartable as a regular sub or sd.
