100% agree, next they will engrave the price :p

Not my cup of tea -_-

With all due respect I see it as sacrilege of an originally timeless design

Besides why jump from 40mm to 44mm ,,, what happened to 42mm :p

Thanks and cheers

I want a Deepsea, too. But the thing is such a honky monstrosity that I doubt I would ever consider wearing it (at least not out in public). I have a nice slot waiting for it in the back of 1 of my cases where it will sit, nearly motionless, to be loved & admired under glass, which is where it looks best.

Now, if you want to talk about the new White Gold Sub...........THAT is a watch that I would happily wear. It is obviously no longer a tool watch, but with jeans & a tee......smashing

If the new seadweller is made it will be from pics, this I am told .. so not on my top 5 hit list .. I'm going to be happy with the 116710 for a while anyway :D

with the strides in the quality of reps they would regress going back to pics to replicate a timepiece.. although I'll never say never.. not for now anyway.. :rolleyes:

Freddy, you always have an eye for style~! I, too would jump on that if it gets Rep'd! One of my favorite color on dial and bezel!

Lani, I completely agree! That would be a shame, but...........if the Rep is close with no real detectable flaws????? Who's to say we won't be jumping all over it! Remains to be seen!

Hike, I'm with you...I like it. And I don't mind the rehaut that much. I could live with it, I guess.

SF, the one thing I'm hoping for is a guarantee of 1000ft water resistance, ALA SFSO and SSD! Then the rest of those over indulgence in text I could overlook! I love the Maxi dial!

Hike!

I don't really get the new SDDS... At first I found it horrible, now I just find it strange... The enlarged pearl might make it easier to turn the bezel, but on a tool watch it is vulnerable to be knocked out of position.

Is the rehaut as "wooky" as in the pictures?

And the "Ring lock system" is it a new invention, or just the same old clicking bezel?

I didn't think they could do it; but they came up with something dumber than ROLEXROLEXROLEX to engrave on the rehaut. Apart from that I like the beefiness, a very American sub.

The "ROLEXROLEXROLEX" is still there, it has a weird two tier rehaut, you can just about make it out in the picture, if you look closely.....

The rehaut engraving on this one just kills it for me :blink:

It is not even born in my opinion :blink:

One day we'll wake up and discover it was just a nightmare :Jumpy:

Ok, so that said, I understand that all tastes are in the nature as we say in french, and everyone's taste is respectable.

But, come on, a good old SD is classier, isn't it.

Nasty? Perhaps. But I would wager that if the Deepsea rep is as good as the GMTIIC, we will all have 1 (even if they end up sitting, mostly unworn, in a case or drawer). That is my 1st prediction for the New Wave of Rolex Reps.

I only buy watches I will actually wear :p

I will get the new GMT2 soon, however if they replicate a DeepSea 99.99% accurate to genuine, I will still not buy it......

It is a carbuncle of a watch to my eyes :lol:
