I have to say this new version of the Dblue is an improvement, I don't know how one couldn't after the success of the SD43. (which I love).

I have no idea what to do

In an ideal world, I'd like to compare the new to the one I have and see just how different they feel.

I've already contacted my AD

Chin up, Brian. You just won a free SubC after all

Drat, just when I wanted to not be persuaded to buy another Rolex along comes a much improved Deep Sea.

They don't expect to see one until Sept-ish, maybe sooner or it may just show up in two month-ish like my original order. Who knows how many "old" ones are still left at Rolex or if they've all been sent out or if they just halt and start with the new ones.

They said I would get the first one in, It is already paid in full.

So glad it worked out!

Having a short run with the "original" movement. The old JC's will definitely become very desirable from a collectors perspective (imo).

I’ll be keeping mine but am more than curious about how the new one sits and how the new bracelet compares to the original.

Thanks Neil Does this mean I have to look at another brand

Actually, I retract my statement. Doesn't look like it is that much improved and if Rolex are going to continue their ridiculous, deliberate supply strangulation campaign, "I'm out".

I think it looks fantastic

But then again, the previous version looked fantastic, too. Lol

Would love to see it in person

This thread thread needs more pics... lol
