DSSD Dive charts and extension band?

Hey
I was just wondering if anyone got dive charts or anything like that with their DSSD? Mine had the Sub manual which is not surprising.

Also did anyone else notice that there is the dive suit extension still
in addition to the sliding adjustment?? I just figured it out, soooo
cool!

OK
sorry this is my last post for the day haha....

2 threads on the DSSD is enough.

I thought that extension was gone as well but it looked like it
was there and I started to play with it and sure enough I was
right...

They thought of everything with this one! The clasp micro adjustment
and the old school extension for a dive suit. (it no longer comes with the second sized dive extension you could put in though)

IMO, you should have received DSSD manual with your DSSD n not the submariner manual, also there should be a toolkit like the SD

Are you kidding me...if Rolex had to produce a new DSSD manual for the new DSSD I'm sure retail would have been $11,875! Man, that's pretty weak that Rolex charges almost $10K for a watch and can't even produce a unique owners manual. Not cool.

There is no DSSD manual, it comes with a Submariner manual.

Yeah, I agree. I'd be pissed after paying that much for a DSSD and not getting an owners manual specific to the model, showing its specific features, and also not getting a dive table. Now, I realize that dive tables are "old school" and have been replaced by computers, but (1) any diver shouldn't have to rely on a dive computer, and (2) if anyone actually uses the DSSD for its intended purpose, the damn thing should come with the dive table. Too bad they didn't also manufacture a new anchor for this incredible depth.

Well guys I am telling you the DSSD have its own booklet as there is no sense of supplying the submariner manual as it have no description of DSSD in it.
It used to come with SD as it had the description of SD

Anyways here are some pics of DSSD booklet, not take by me. They were posted by Bo on TKF........

Oh dear Jeremy
After seeing the post from Ash
I think that you should get back to your AD asap and demand that you are given the correct manual.
Somebody needs their ar$e kicking.

That's very good to know...thanks for the info & pics. I was beginning to seriously question what the hell was going on at Rolex.

I must say, from the few that I've seen selling on eBay, I have yet to see someone post a picture of this DS manual...all the photos seem to have only the Sub manual...so I don't think you're unique in not getting one.
