you are spot on....great to see your response to what is HANDS DOWN my favourite Rolex...although I did have the Daytona on today and I consistently gazed upon it

But----it is an awesome watch

SDDS17 · 7 April 2010, 11:00 PM

Good Morning All,
Well after wearing this beast for over a week now, all I can say is it getter better and better. I can not stop looking it. One of the neat things about it is the ceramic bezel. When you look at it in certain light it seems like you are looking into and endless sea of black, no pun intended. As far as comfort, just as comfortable as my SD!!!! No problems with banging it, but I am very careful with it at this time, and probably forever. Can not count how many times I have been stopped for questions about it, which is kind of neat. This has the same attention grabbing qualities as my PAM-251, although its not getting much wrist time these days. Anyway, I stand on my original post that this truly is one of the BADDEST WATCHES on the planet right now. There may be more expensive, more intricate, and more prestigeous watches. But when the sum of all its parts are taken in while on the wrist, it is hard to find a nicer watch for the money right now!!!

Gorgeous piece congrats! wear it in good health.

motoface · 8 April 2010, 02:04 AM

beautiful watch! tried it on this past weekend but went with a V series SD instead. it looks great, clasp is awesome, wanted to get it but it is just so thick/tall. I also like to wear my watches a bit on the loose side which is harder to do with a watch of this weight. Still trying to convince myself otherwise. Enjoy it!

dssd · 8 April 2010, 02:30 AM

Congrats to the deepsea club. Gald you ignored all the negative comments on this watch. I loved it the moment I tried it on. It's more comfortable than my black ss daytona. Deepsea is my everyday watch.

sergio27 · 8 April 2010, 03:37 AM

Plastic surgeons should give men wrist jobs so they can put one of these on.

Nah, I prefer a hand job....but only from the females....

The watch wears very comfortable and is not too big

Dr.B · 10 April 2010, 10:14 PM

Looks good...now we want some wrist shots.
Enjoy

thoang · 12 April 2010, 03:54 PM

The first day I wore my DS, I thought it was too big. After that first day, I grew to love it. Now it's my daily watch. All my other Rolexes seem small in comparison.

jets · 13 April 2010, 12:24 AM

Congrats and enjoy the monster.

Still shake my head at the "advertising" on the ring lock as if we wouldn't know that if we blunked down $9K. I think I can get past the writing on the ring locks as the watch is so beautiful.

Again congratulations and thanks for the meaningful post.
George

Update: Finally saw one at my AD, and purchased on Friday. The writing is a non-issue when seen in person. Thanks again for the post.

nelsondevicenci · 12 May 2010, 02:11 PM

For sure is a really nice watch, but i feel like the bracelet is not matching the case, no wider enough... any opinion about this?

As far as the bracelet not matching the case....not a problem!! Do not really notice it at all, and due to the comfort of the watch, it is perfect as is!!! I think you are worrying about the wrong thing with this watch, and should be worrying about how fast you can get one to your door

Looks pretty damn good to me!!!!

nelsondevicenci · 13 May 2010, 01:51 PM

Agree with you know i try one and no big issue the bracelet, should be nice a wider one.

I thinking so fast to get one now hahaha and become my first Rolex ( Because I like to wear at least 43mm. )

rolexdeepsea · 17 May 2010, 11:16 PM

had my for about a week now and at first i through i would be really heavy on the wrist but to my surpraise it no difference to having my old omega on!

E.Peynado · 18 May 2010, 03:23 AM

It's one of my all-time favorites !

mlotus95 · 18 May 2010, 04:01 AM

sweet looking watch. makes me want one.

tthopp05 · 19 May 2010, 12:12 AM

Welcome to the club! Had mine now for about a year and feel the way I did when I first got it. I would not even consider another watch.This is the Badass of watchs IMHO.

DanteBrandolini · 27 May 2010, 08:30 PM

Congrats!!! I love the DeepSea, The best Rolex by Far, Im saving like a madman, I should be ale to get one in a couple of months, I can't wait!!!! what did it cost ya??
It retails for $ 9,250. Im thinking of offering an AD cash, so i can get a better deal.
Take care........Great watch!!!!

dinan545bmw · 15 June 2010, 11:44 AM

The DSSD is an amazing piece of uber technological and engineering prowess by Rolex. I'm very proud and feel absolutely splendid and happy with this beast of a monster! One of the best purchases I ever made, PERIOD. BEST REGARDS

DCgator · 31 July 2010, 01:52 PM

Enjoy your DS; she is something else I tell yah.... a great all around watch.

willco · 31 July 2010, 02:10 PM

David Maddern · 15 September 2010, 10:28 PM

Best comparison shots ive seen

cuteo100 · 19 September 2010, 07:27 AM

with the recent new price increase, you can't go wrong there! Lovely watch.

Rolesor · 19 September 2010, 02:38 PM

THat's one heck-of-a-watch my friend! Enjoy it ;)

clint501 · 26 September 2010, 11:32 PM

Congrats- and I agree with everything you said- I have had mine for 6 months now and it really is a comfortable watch to wear. Because of the tapered bracelet, it wears smaller than its dimensions would indicate. I am a professional who wears suits every day and it goes perfectly with business dress. And the "Original Gas...." wording is virtually invisible to me when wearing it, and it is totally invisible to people looking over at the watch

alljunks · 27 September 2010, 02:35 AM

Nice!!! but just too big for me!!!

SDDS17 · 27 September 2010, 03:18 AM

Thanks for the compliments guys/gals!! As far as being to big, make sure you try one on at an AD and leave on for a few minutes. I have a smaller wrist 6.75, and it feels perfect to me. When I try to wear my Explorer II, I feel like I am wearing a kids watch and invariably take it off and go with the DS. I was skeptical at first as well, but after six months now, it is my daily wearer, and will be until it goes to an RSC for servicing. I tried on a Sub-C a week or so ago, very nice watch, but just seemed like not enough there for the money like you get with the DSSD!! Oh, and my poor Panerai has not seen the light of day, due to the DS. Why did Rolex have to make this watch, it's just not fair to the others......

Have a Great Weekend Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
