It’s a very cool watch to own, but I agree with your comments about wearability.

If I was a fanatical collector of Rolex divers I’d probably want to own one, but my Submariner is good enough

I agree, it’s for the collector that has basically everything and only the whacky stuff interest him now

Why make them

I have been asking that question ever since I really got interested in watches in the 1970's. Technically speaking you would not be crushed by pressure at that depth, you just die from improper partial pressure of your breathing mix or possibly HPNS. No person has ever been diving below approximately 1600 fsw, and they likely never will. So watches with depth ratings deeper than around 2000 feet are 100% fluff and bragging rights. That being said, my newest watch is the James Cameron version of the Rolex Deepsea, which I will never take deeper than around 100 feet.



I would not say that the Rolex Deepsea is unwearable due to it's size though. At 50mm is is a full 3mm smaller that this Citizen which I own and wear on a fairly regular basis.

You might not be able to buy it at the original price immediately.

Below MSRP?

I doubt it. I think this one will be a rare beast for some time and then get discontinued at which point the secondary market price will only go up.

You definitely can, but the test is to be able to extract it from its box, à la Arthur.
