Really appreciated the follow-up!
Great to hear that the DSSD is finally working the way it should

All's well that ends well. Glad your tool watch performs as it should.

Another strange thing is that as we are getting shallower the watch has slowed down and keeping better time. Weird.! Will stick a photo up when home as well

~~~Just wondering, are any of your mates using the Seiko MarineMaster 600 meter Spring Drive Sat Diver (SBDB009)? If so, what kind of service have they been seeing with it? Thanking you in advance!

You'd hope.

Omega ProPlof.

That's the answer.

Don't get the white dial---but the black w date is nutty awesome.

LINVS · 15 May 2018, 12:52 PM

Curious issues.

Doesn’t Rolex pressure test their watches?

Regulation is a simple procedure. If there’s a parts failure, that can be repaired easily, too.

It’s a dive watch not a Mars Rover.

AK DeepSea · 30 October 2018, 11:25 AM

How is your watch performing? Any reoccurring issues?

aquanaut · 30 October 2018, 04:10 PM

No issues at all, been using it offshore all summer and no probs.

I agree. It is a shame! Thanks for reporting that issue.

SS Oyster · 31 October 2018, 12:08 PM

Imagine the law suit OP has if the watch experiences catastrophic failure while on a dive, Rolex should step up and replace this watch immediately as it is a matter of life and death.

That said, I’m sure OP wears a lot more timers.

My son is a diver who trained in Seattle, dove rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and now dives for Peugeot Sound Naval Shipyard. If this were happening to him, I’d be on the phone with Rolex every week.

Shame on Rolex.

Wonder how mine would hold up?

If you read back you’ll see all has been resolved

Glad everything worked out...interesting thread! You hate to see Rolex's true purpose built watch not work its intended purpose.

Jcy90 · 31 October 2018, 01:44 PM

Pretty crazy that this is happening. Sorry for your frustration.

Hey Aquanaut, I remember the beginning of this thread from a few years ago. One of my favorites because it’s great to hear from someone using the fully capable Rolex for hardcore diving. Are you tempted by the latest deep sea or the sd43? Also do you dive with the bracelet or change to nato or rubber? Thanks.
