Which one would you keep for in the future? Whyyyy?

Between Deepsea D Blue 44mm

New Sea-Dweller Red 2017 43mm

Thank you for the pics Google

Cheers!

japenney · 5 April 2017, 11:48 AM

Probably the new sea-dweller but only because I have tried the DSSD-blue twice

. The D-blue wears much bigger so that is a consideration. I know the size difference says 1mm but the DSSD is very much taller.

AK797 · 5 April 2017, 11:50 AM

SD43 as I think it will be the same size as the old one so more manageable, altho I wouldn't have minded a graduating blue dial on it too.

speedmaster73 · 5 April 2017, 12:00 PM

D-Blue. King of Rolex divers.

the new seadweller is the red haired stepchild

speedmaster73 · 5 April 2017, 12:01 PM

also...why is it always for the 'future'???

no ones getting rich on either one

buy the one you like and want to WEAR

JohnnyNoDate · 5 April 2017, 12:05 PM

If you're collecting or need a weekend watch, DSSD. For daily wear, I'd still choose a Submariner.

I love the SD Red, but it still hasn't resolved the middle-child syndrome for me at the price point.

jeffgo888 · 5 April 2017, 12:06 PM

Go for the ultimate. ..Dssd...all the way

Daily wear SD
Weekend DSSD

Smarties · 5 April 2017, 12:17 PM

I pick both.

One commemorate James Cameron’s record setting journey to the deepest point in the ocean.

Another celebrates the 50th birthday of Sea Dweller.

Both are collectibles IMO.

There's only a handful of Rolex watch model released in the name of an event or something memorable.

watchwatcher · 5 April 2017, 12:29 PM

Hmm...good question. Still working that out.

maton12 · 5 April 2017, 12:36 PM

If you can carry off the DSSD, that's the go to watch for me - better still a DBlue

But also love the idea of a larger Sub, and the 50th SD ticks that box, whereas the prior model Sea Dweller was not on my radar

Scanspeakman · 5 April 2017, 01:03 PM

SD43 for sure. 43 mm is perfect for my 7.1" wrists. And I always disliked the "ringlock system" and "gasescape valve" text on the front of the DSSD. I know it has those features; that why I probably choose it in the first place..... I dont need to be reminded every time I look at it.

GB-man · 5 April 2017, 01:11 PM

I would never wear a dssd. I'll have to try the sd43 before I can speak on that. Hopefully it's considerably more comfortable than the dssd.

Hotrod297 · 5 April 2017, 01:18 PM

Tough choice but I would say the new 43. It's the 50 anniversary model, it has a Cyclops. Although I have yet to try it on, but based off the reviews the new wider bracelet makes it more balance.

I owned the DSSD black, great looking watch, but was never comfortable on the wrist after a few hours.

TheRolexKingofLV · 5 April 2017, 01:26 PM

Went Deep Blue....love that dial

WS9D · 5 April 2017, 01:33 PM

Deep blue for me. I love the dial. It sees the most wrist time for me. Bluesy and Pepsi have been very lonely. Before anyone asks, no you can't keep them company for me lol

KingRichard · 5 April 2017, 02:23 PM

My vote goes to the DSSD. I'm assuming that your wrists are big enough to pull it off well...not many people can. I think the D-blue dial is nice and unique, as well as size and totally unnecessary depth rating.

If you are considering a watch for daily wear however, both pieces are fat as hell on the wrist, especially the DSSD so I would caution you there. If you're going for a dive watch that you can wear any time, anywhere, the sub date is your answer.

Golfster · 5 April 2017, 02:33 PM

SD Red.

X2 plus I like the D-blue dial, it's different than any other watch.

Smarties · 5 April 2017, 02:40 PM

Although not practical to 99.9999999% of people, technically speaking Rolex has incorporated more technology into DSSD to make it able to withstand extreme depth. Definitely a very special watch worth to own if one has big enough wrist!

Yvette · 5 April 2017, 02:45 PM

I like two tone so.....

braningan · 5 April 2017, 03:46 PM

Dssd

cmcm3 · 5 April 2017, 03:56 PM

D-blue seems more likely to be a short run, so if by "keep for in the future" you have value considerations in mind, then that's the one I'd go for, in the meantime. Plus I love it!

The wording on the rehaut and the green DEEPSEA seem gimmicky and cheapen the watch in my opinion. I don't like the Deapsea. Please, no offense intended to those who appreciate it.

db73met · 5 April 2017, 04:35 PM

D-blue. I love it, there is something in that dial. So special, but... it's not for everybody. I am tall guy and I can pull it off and this one is a keeper for me.
I have to see SD43 to say something about it because pictures didn't convince me.

diverdoug · 5 April 2017, 05:13 PM

D-Blue
It's purty

dadonn2 · 5 April 2017, 06:27 PM

New SD for the better proportioned bracelet.

brucethemanlee · 5 April 2017, 07:38 PM

Sd43 because 43 will fit better than 44. 44 is massive in my wrist
