Gentlemen, sorry to burst your bubbles.

I have reason to believe it was not written by the author and there was no accreditation.

Awesome review of the DEEPSEA.....I bought one 2 days ago myself......Everything in your post speaks to my heart.....The writing was so well done..... You just have to see and hold one to experience the uniqueness of the DEEPSEA for sure. It is just a fantastic chronometer.

excellent review and awesome pictures, thank you

Well...got a Z-series today...and I believe that that main difference between the Z-series and the other series is that that Z-series is the only series WITHOUT lugholes. That makes it amazingly difficult to deal with, but since the Z-series was run in 2005 and discontinued in 2008, it is reputed to be the smallest 'run' of mainstream SD's around (exclusive of the COMEX, the Red's, and the "Triple 6's").

As we all know, it was replaced by the DSSD...and the rest is history...

Great write-up, wish the originator at Ginault was referenced, but I appreciate the information....

I have an M-series SD, which is a later case serial than the Z. There are also some V's out there as well. The Z was not the last.

Great review! This was one of the reviews that helped shape my decision to purchase my sea dweller

The review is of the Sea-Dweller 16600, not the DeepSea that replaced it.

dicken säck · 17 August 2012, 03:58 AM

Great pictures and excellent review of an awesome watch and a true classic.

I just got a Deepsea and was searching the forum. These are some great photos. Thanks for sharing.

jokb · 23 August 2012, 06:28 AM

Excellent review! I still am looking for this one.
I should've purchased one before the price increase.

acvu · 18 September 2012, 01:46 PM

Awesome review!!

Absolutz · 19 September 2012, 12:32 AM

Superb
I have a 1665 and I love it.

VintageWatchTrader · 23 September 2012, 12:54 AM

Great review, glad I have one in my collection!

Watchmutt · 23 September 2012, 04:29 AM

I read this review after buying my SD. I'm glad I made the right choice

Falcons82 · 2 October 2012, 09:21 AM

I'm new to the forum, but have one as well, these posts are making me second guess about trading for a Sub-C.

dirkpitt73 · 20 January 2013, 02:30 AM

Great review, love the macro shots. I got a Z serial last week and am loving it. Would have been nice to get an M (the last 16600), but those are hard to come by. Long live the SD!

Actually I believe there were a few V serials as well.

Cibro · 24 January 2013, 06:48 AM

impalass · 18 February 2013, 04:35 AM

The OP's, or Ginault's review was the start of my Sea-Dweller 16600 fever years ago resulting in a V242XXX serial, BNIB, tis month (Feb. 2013).

I have read that the V serials have the smallest production numbers, but do not know how accurate this is.

xmzoyc · 8 March 2013, 01:40 AM

SamGMT · 2 July 2013, 01:31 AM

Great review! Pix of my favourite SD...

lksmith · 12 July 2013, 02:51 PM

Great review and welcome to the fraternity. I hear you on the cyclops. In 1985, I traded up from a Submariner to an SD simply because I could not stand the little "bump" on the crystal face. Finally placed the SD in storage after 27 years to make way for a Deep Sea.

BTW, I am a Materials Engineer and although the sapphire crystals are tough and very scratch resistant, they are not close to being "shatter proof." A drop onto a tile floor from waist high is easily sufficient to break one. I also learned the hard way that the sapphire crystals don't play well with weld splatter.

joejoe1225 · 16 July 2013, 11:02 PM

Awesome - Love the SD

joejoe1225 · 18 July 2013, 01:26 PM
