Now what does it mean for the “old” DEEP-BLUE?

Because it’s Rolex’s first commemorative watch, first watch announced outside Basel and first watch announced in the US. It had a limited run and will be highly collectible. Look to history as Ken points out.

Highly agree.

Expanding on this; look at Patek and AP with the 5711 and 15202 - the original design is always the prized one. Any marginal aesthetic improvements will be outweighed by the fact that the original is now discontinued after a very short 4 year run.

I like the way you think

Hopefully prices remain the same or increase. I’m kind of in that camp that may sell to upgrade to the new one, but won’t do it until I see the new one and try one on in the flesh.
