The DSSD is a showcase/flagship model and I'm not convinced it will be discontinued. I could be wrong about that because they discontinued the Sea-Dweller twice previously. And then they promptly brought it back. Having said that, it could be due for an upgrade to the new movement with a change to the reference. 216660 anyone? As part of my bold prediction for Basel 2018, it may even get Double Red lettering and morphed into the DEEPSEA II on a version of the Oysterflex that's fitted to the case better and also retaining a version of the original DSSD Glidelock. This could explain why some dealers are reportedly not taking orders for it anymore. |

If a new 3235 movement was to be fitted and a new upgraded version to come out i think reference would be 126660.

Red text looks good. Especially on a Sports watch. To date there's not one Sub or Sea-dweller that doesn't look good with some red text. Take the special edition Omega's for example. I think the first Liquid metal Diver had a little bit of Red text and it looked good. Also the 40th Anniversary Special edition Apollo XI Speedy looks great with a little bit of red text. I think there may be another Apollo XI anniversary Speedy with some red text as well from memory. |

If deepsea is discontinued it will remain in Rolex history as deepest diver watch Rolex ever made. Together 3900m depth rate on dial with ring lock i think very collectible and different look than other Rolex divers. Even the clasp glide lock is different compared to other Rolex divers. Plus u got that giant winding crown. And also that domed sapphire crystal. Wow. Which Rolex divers can u find that domed sapphire crystal? Ans: U can only found it in Deepsea.

Just be patient and deals pop up. I got a great condition 2010 black DSSD with B/P last week for 8300 $USD on here. Granted, it took me almost 3 months to find the right one, but when it happens like that, it adds that much more joy to wear, knowing you didn't overpay

May sound like a dumb question but I’ll ask anyway: wouldn’t there be more money chasing the 126610 instead of the 116610 and 110460? Or are we assuming that 126610 will get snapped up and in a shot supply so some money would target the discontinued models to scratch the Rolex bug bite? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you check the S on DEEPSEA & SEA-DWELLER you will be able to notice the difference quite easily without the aid of a loupe.
Flat S is quite distinctive. |

IF they put a new movement in the DSSD **I doubt it** you can guarantee it will only be the black dial
JC model is history. Will not be returning w new movement. |

quite distinctive. mine does not fit into the MK I or MK II category, but seems to be a hybrid of both (flat S, but with the thin coronet and font/thickness). aberrations always exist, but don't have the heart to bump an old thread

Can you post a photo of the dial? There is MK III as well. You are talking about the black dial yes?

Yep. Flat S. To the points of the crown to the base are a uniform line thickness as opposed to varying thickness. And it looks like a thinner font as well
Just weird nuance, I'm sure. |

For some reason the flat S looks great on both this and the JC (JC is closer to the flat S MK I version anyway).

Just checked mine... got the mk1 dial, that unique rolex crown and font. The actual piece that went down with cameron on the dive should be the jc edition. Not the blue.. my 2cents
Blues growing on me though.. looks like my next one instead of the red sea dweller. That cyclops on the sd43 ruins the watch. |

Most SDs have titanium components. The gas escape valves on the 16660, 16600, 116660, 116600 and 126600 are all made of titanium. The valve on the original 1665 is stainless steel.
