Rolex SeaDweller Deep Sea. Nice model or oversized?

[Stephane]

Dear All,

I start this topic because I am very surprised that I do like the Rolex Deep Sea. 

A while ago, when the first reps of that model were released I bought one.
It lasted a week and then I sold it because it felt to big.

 

Lately, one of these was up for sale and, as it was a “NoobFactory” one, I thought I should give it a second try.  

It’s been two weeks now that I am wearing it every day!

 

Maybe it is because I’m missing my Subs/SeaDweller that are currently out for mods or at my nephew, and that I have been wearing all my other watches for month, but this time, the Rolex Deep Sea I really love it. 

 

What is your opinion on this model. Do you like it, own one, which version…

 

Cheers

Stephane

I have small wrists so the largest Rolex I would wear is my sub. I also owned a gen ceramic sub and felt that was to bulky. Nothing sits more comfortable on my wrist then my 16610

[Stephane]

I fully agree!

My (gen) 16610 is my fav one.

But again, as I lend it to my nephew since months now, I really enjoy the bid Deep Sea.

 

I think it's very much like all these guys showing off with their pams ;-) but with a cool brand (Rolex).

You let your nephew borrow your gen while you wear a rep? Hmmmm

Well, you know Rep/Gen...it's only about what do you like to wear?

I have owned quite a lot of 16610 (Rep, modded, franken...) and it make sense to end up with a gen as it is my most desirable watch.

So, my nephew likes it very much and the only one left is a gen !

It's a 2000 one, with Swiss dial, so pretty cool as it is a bit different.

But in the end, the model is what we like isn't it?

A gen is a gen, but it is not that different from a well build rep

Oh, and about various 16610, here is a link to the one I got before I could afford my gen

I have no camera as I'm travelling and the iPhone sucks :-)
