ThinkBachs Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I've been playing with an idea to create a Rolex DEEPSEA that takes the initial design to an unparalleled next level. After months of design considerations, the concept is now complete. I never thought I'd ever find my "grail watch" but it seems that when you least expect it, boom- there it is. Introducing the Rolex DEEPSEA Tactical™ Details: Satinized Rolex Pro-Hunter dial Rolex Tudor Ranger II handset Dial and handset superlumed white/green Red second hand Red print date disk Crystal underside single AR coated Pearl replaced with previous version inset pearl for rigorous stability Bead blasted Bracelet, crown, and bezel are DLC'd Case receives an extremely durable NATO gun finish The DLC is being handled by Pbdad going through Avitt. I'll be taking care of the case finish and sourcing the parts- all of which are either on hand or on the way. Ideally, I'd love to have a DSSD dial with custom red DEEPSEA and TACTICAL on it. Someday... I'm currently looking for someone with excellent luming skills and who can communicate in a timely manner. All those involved will receive full recognition in the final writeup once the project is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I like it. What about using the Omega Flight Master hands like on the 1655? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) First, add the lume shot... As far as the 1655 handset, They just seem so skinny to me- except the GMT hand that is. Is it possible to find that GMT hand in a size that would work as an hour hand?

D999SS Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Looks killer, my only question is will it be waterproof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Looks killer, my only question is will it be waterproof? Any quality rep of a waterproof watch can be made depth-rated. Check the gaskets, and crystal seating .. seal the He valve internally with epoxy .. and you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeSentier Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Like it, too! But why is the pearl orange, and not green (white)? Best,J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaza Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 It's a beauty! Although I still favor the original DSSD hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 I kinda like it! Although I really got burned out on DSSDs and no longer own one I like the concept. So, it 's going to be parkerized? That should be a pretty durable finish. I could easily see me wearing this as a regular Sea Dweller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
