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)

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.

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 Now, I realize that dive tables are "old school" and have been replaced by computers, but (1) any diver shouldn't have to rely on a dive computer, and (2) if anyone actually uses the DSSD for its intended purpose, the damn thing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.

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.

Hmmm
I will have to call my AD. I bet you the real early ones were shipped with the Sub manual.... Kinda eerie there is 666 in the model #.....

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.
