Already given the nickname "DEEPSEAWEED" by members here, I felt it needed an official thread with pictures.

"COMMEMORATING JAMES CAMERON'S HISTORIC SOLO DIVE. ONE MAN'S JOURNEY TO THE DEEPEST PLACE ON EARTH:THE BOTTOM OF THE MARIANA TRENCH."

A job well done Rolex! Price?

Riva14 · 5 August 2014, 08:40 AM

is it a limited edition?

SDDS · 5 August 2014, 08:41 AM

Nice but i still prefer my MK1 version, i guess we have to see it in person

AquariuM3 · 5 August 2014, 08:41 AM

Not bad at all

leicashot · 5 August 2014, 08:41 AM

I can see many of them going to modification companies just for the green text alone

Looks good to me

CostaLudus · 5 August 2014, 08:44 AM

I prefer my original all black DSSD.

Although, is the dial a sunburst finish like the dial on the green ceramic sub that looks green then black at other angles?

Wllnv19 · 5 August 2014, 08:46 AM

I like it can't wait to see it!

jay_kay · 5 August 2014, 08:46 AM

I like it.

SDDS · 5 August 2014, 08:46 AM

I still dont understand why rolex didnt introduced this edition during Basel 2014??

It ties in with the release of James Cameron's film

dennywags · 5 August 2014, 08:49 AM

I am impressed. If I were an avid diver I would want one.

👍👍 thanks

KINGROLESAR · 5 August 2014, 08:52 AM

Rolex is loving the use of colors. Now the DSSD, Blue Dial - Black Bezel - Green Writing.

craniotes · 5 August 2014, 08:53 AM

I'm not so keen on the placement and color of "DEEPSEA", but the dial treatment is growing on me.

Regards,
Adam

Chewbacca · 5 August 2014, 08:55 AM

well, if it sells more watches it does its job.

I dislike it so much I'll buy 3 GMTs in protest!

Me too.. I perfer my MKI too since 2008..

Suboc · 5 August 2014, 09:00 AM

There's no change other than the dial, and we already recognize three dial variants of the DeepSea, perhaps we could consider this the DSSD Mark 4 dial. Until I see one in person, I still prefer my original version DSSD.

fullcourt · 5 August 2014, 09:01 AM

skip....

viper9669 · 5 August 2014, 09:02 AM

My AD says it will be available end of August. Will need to see it myself once its in.

lig · 5 August 2014, 09:04 AM

I would like it a lot better if it had a blue ceramic bezel.

dcash0615 · 5 August 2014, 09:05 AM

Considering the black dial version is a little over $12k MSRP , I seriously doubt this one is going to be less than the black dial version. My guess is a $700 to $1200 premium over the current model. Just makes the DSSD even harder to sell at that price.

I need to see this one in the flesh to determine if I like. Many are saying they don't like the green lettering. I think it may look cool. We will see.

Have to try it on.

Dirt · 5 August 2014, 09:05 AM

So it looks like "green" is the new "red"

It's got future collectable written all over it in Deep-Seaweed green.
I wonder if in decades to come we will be talking about and posting pics of our highly coveted original Double Greens.

Being the picky type I still prefer my MK II from an ownership perspective.
But the new offering has missed the boat in some way.
Time will tell. (no pun intended)

I will just have to reserve final judgement and wait to see it in person.

Rolex_Collector · 5 August 2014, 09:07 AM

I think it's totally cool, like that it's something different and new. I've been getting rather bored with my black dial subs and SDs. Think it's very fitting the blue to black theme. Not 100% sold on the green text of DEEPSEA yet but def want to see one in person.

FTX I · 5 August 2014, 09:08 AM

Not a fan at all. THB I think it's almost unbelievable.

texex91 · 5 August 2014, 09:09 AM

Wow, that's an ugly one IMHO.

No need to try that one on.

Don't even know if I'd buy one if I needed to Dive 12,800 ft--silly.

What a huge disappointment...
