Question for Deep Blue owners...

[Camel]

I bought the DSSD and after that the D-Blue was launched, so now I have both and love them equal.

[Rolexsd4000]

I had the Black DSSD for 5 years traded it in for the SD43
Then I got the D Blue Bug and got rid of my safe queen Sub-Date Ceramic and never looked back .

I saw the black many times but never attract me, when I saw the blue in actual life, I had it on my wrist with removed diving link after 5 minutes.

I think Rolex basically killed off the DSSD Black by releasing the SD43. Seems to me for 90%+ out there the SD43 works better for them vs the DSSD Black. On top of that 90% of the folks in the market for the Deepsea want the JC model. Put that together and I bet DSSD Blacks are going to sit in the case for a while.

Just want to know since you can get 10%off the black dial vs Dblue dial at full price am I making a mistake to buy JC vs black dial?
I have currently BLNR ,Panerai 392 and Omega commanders watch

Get what you want.

Blue

I just looked at the divers in my Rolex collection and figured that I have a tendency to pick models with special fonts and dial colors these are the ones i chose before I learned about all the different variations there are out there ...

I personally never looked at the black dial DSSD as something I would ever consider, seemed ridiculous and I hated the Original Gas Escape Valve /Ring Lock System writing on the inside ring.....until I didn't

Gorgeous photo! Enjoy it!

And FWIW...James Cameron wore the black dialed version on the actual dive the new dial commemorates.

It is only $300 more expensive than the DeepSea.

From an AD. Gray market runs around 12k for the JC and in the mid to high 8's for the black DS.

[Pbender]

I love everything about the JC and can’t ever imagine being happy with the black dial.

Thank you Mike

There’s a lot of enabling built in to the TRF experience

I would absolutely pay whatever premium it takes to get the JC over the black model. A couple months after buying you will forget that you paid $500-$1,000 more to get the watch you really wanted. Go for the blue!

X2 Go blue if you like JC, or go black if you want the classic version.

Never even considered it once. The dial and the “potential” scarcity in a few years are what really drew me to it
Since I got it, it has been occupying 100% of my wrist time! It is the absolutely most beautiful to me.

You have soooooooo many black dial options but only one in that dial color!

I’ve had the original and now I own the JC version, it’s a matter of personal choice but the dial on the JC is just stunning the blue changes colour as the light hits the dial. You never seem to get bored with looking at it. A fantastic watch but it’s whether you think it worth the difference in price. Especially if you buying from a grey dealer as the price fetches a lot more. Worth every penny IMO.

[SurfDiver]

One should have both. It’s the grail of highly engineered diving watches. Nothing even comes close. D-Blue and/or Black. Either is fine.

got the dssd black before and sold it then got a deep blue when it came out. very very happy i did it. black is classic but pretty common, on the other hand i can never stop marveling and appreciating the uniqueness of the deep blue dial everytime i look at it

[brandrea]

Another justification for going blue

DSSD black owner here...have been for going on 5 years. Absolutely great reference and an engineering/tech marvel. That said I still scratch my head when I see the JC variant, I just don't see the appeal of the color scheme. Maybe I'm just weird or in the tiny minority that doesn't care for the JC dial OR the Daytona...yeah I know I'm an oddball...NOW if they had released a double red DSSD - I'd (well my wallet) would be in trouble.

[Mfrankel2]

Had both; got rid of the black. The d-blue is a stunning and unique watch. Got it for that reason. Wanted a black faced diver and have gotten used to larger watches over the past few years so tried the DSSD in black. Just didn't do it for me. Recently picked up a SD43; That I believe works and (for now at least) seem OK with my divers

[Rocco21]

Had both and loved both.Will be adding one again whichever one pops up first at a good deal.

No, the JC dial is what drew me to the watch. The black dial is just too plain for my taste

[antbkny]

Both great and can co-exist in my opinion. Had black, now have d-blue.

I have a pretty small wrist so would never consider getting the deep sea. But that deep blue, I’ve seen one in the wild and it still tempts me from time to time even though it’ll look ridiculous on me.

I have small 6.5 inch wrists and bought a James Cameron. It’s not a daily wearer but is absolutely stunning and I love wearing it.

You’ll probably find it doesn’t look that rediculous....go for it

[Angry-Gardener]

After decades of enjoying many different brands and sizes of watches, and generally resisting Rolex, a few vintage examples joined my modest collection. I knew I would love the 25 year old TT sub, and I do. Classic, comfortable, easy to wear any day of the week.

But I found I wanted my own “signature” Rolex. Walked into many ADs in many cities. Finally, one OG selling Rolex for 40 Years sized me up, made me an espresso and said nothing - he just put the piece on my wrist. DSSD black. Sales genius. Good discount offered. Almost impulse bought it then and there, but let’s check some forums.

One week later, I’m better informed back at an AD, “Do you have the DSSD Blue?” I know it is tough to get worldwide, but this place claims to have the second largest inventory in the Americas.

Yes we do. Today. Almost sold blah blah, won’t be here long blah blah.

Yup. You’re right, because now it’s mine.

And it is mine, the perfect match. The only thing really wrong with it is once I put it on, no other watch gets worn until I take a trip somewhere dangerous and Deep Blue stays home. Then I rotate, but as soon as Deep Blue’s turn comes up again...

Flying home now. Blue will be back on wrist tomorrow and for weeks.
