Deepsea buy
I´m thinking my new purchase is going to be a Deepsea, and need a little help!
Have the Deepsea had a ceramic bezel since it first came on the marked? Is there any difference between the different year models? Would it be best to get one as new as possible, or is an old one pretty much the same? |

Good choice, only one version of Deepsea available, price varies on condition of pre-owned, and brand new is not difficult to locate.👍

I won't give you the "use the search function" answer which I find to be a bit annoying...anyway the above post is a great answer. Also, I own one and it's great. I'd buy the newest one you can find from a trusted seller on here. PM me with any questions and good luck!

Pretty sure it's been unchanged since it's release, yes it's ceramic.
Enjoy the hunt!

I don't want to be 'annoying' . . . but at least everyone can do just a little bit of research . . . . It's all here on TRF And finally why did they made the 'search' button ? I guess that before you bought the 930 in your avatar you did some research There are many out there . . . The 3.0 Turbo 75-77 , 78 up 3.3 Turbo . . . Love the 930 Take care my friend HAGOne |

Touché ! The search for that 930 and subsequent remodel was a long one! Meet up for a pint in OC?

Maybe if I had spend an hour or two more trolling through it I could have… I don´t know, just seemed easier and more interactive to make my own post, and it worked! I know you don´t mean to be annoying, but it is actually pretty annoying, seeing a reply on your post, thinking yes somebody who will help me!! And then getting let down by a "use the search button" Isn´t the whole point with a forum to use it as a forum and not a dictionary? I mean it would be pretty boring if everybody just used the search button and didn´t write new posts? Anyways thanks for the welcome and I'm glad you like the Deepsea too |

I believe the Deep Sea is pretty much unchanged since it's release. It has the same case, crystal, band and adjustable clasp. I believe all the Deep Seas are the same across the models

There are three different dials (very minor font variations). Other than that, it is the same as when it was released.

So, should I keep my 88 930 CAB and not sell it for a 997 CAB with PDK? I found a Deepsea for 9k, but what about the P Car ??

Tough one, the 997 is sweet but that 88 cab- classic and dare I say, irreplaceable. Who even needs a 5 speed tranny when you got some much power and so little weight.
