Cannot see why the cost of the watch would make the lume better,Rolex in general there Lume was not the best through out the decades.Watches like most Seiko,Citizen dive type and Omega watches had much brighter lume than any Rolex.And lume glow is not down to cost alone its down to total lume surface area. The more surface area the brighter the lume this is why now we see maxi type dials on the Rolex sports models.

I can read those technical documents over and over again, I love stuff like this.

Also, I can be wrong but the luminescent material lose it`s ability to glow over time. I do know that tritium watches have a half life so will lose glow over time.

That's true but the life is usually like 20 years, that a long time. Not that it will keep me from one day buying a deepsea.

V series 116660 question: My clasp code is 6VM. What does that mean? I thought clasp codes were random after G series?

Deepsea retails for £8050 here in the UK

Oh no worries brother. Let's get a Group going.

Sea-Dweller Group:
For those that own a DEEPSEA SEA-DWELLER, SEA-DWELLER, or just appreciate the SEA-DWELLER series of watches to include the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER.

Sound reasonable?

Rashid.bk · 10 January 2013, 02:41 AM

^Great idea, but I'm not sure what exactly is the difference between a group and a thread as far as a forum is concerned.

AJAX · 13 January 2013, 02:03 AM

There are groups that can be created that you can also become member of. Check your profile. It will show if you are in any groups.

Just noticed this thread. In light of the new interest in the dssd-blue I found the technical information and detailed measurements to be great. Any idea how these figures compare to a normal sub?

As always, your post is loaded with interesting information and technical insight.
