loner12345 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 WTF?? Who can dive down to 12,800 ft without being crushed by the pressure?
geo1nah2a Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I was doing the regular tour of the collectors' sites and in timeshop's found a version of it is already out. It is not a 1:1 version (no ceramic bezel, size is 40(or maybe a miss quote), the bezel is too thin, etc) but for 108usd it is a good start Actually it looks like it has the GMTiic bracelet/clasp so that alone could be worth it for some people. Unless it is correct size, I will wait for the ultimate version..
magagne Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 WTF?? Who can dive down to 12,800 ft without being crushed by the pressure? same answer that why some buy a 200M watch when we just need water resistant to swim in a pool
tanya Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I shall definately be buying the gen once the craze dies down a bit. Bought the LV 2 years after it came out and I could get one from my AD, Got my AD's first steel Ceramic GMT (which I have since traded to my fellow watch nut best friend for his TT Ceramic GMT as I love gold and he does not) Thus far I have been able to get every Rolex I have wanted directly from my AD save one a white friggen Daytona!!! It's quite an awesome piece!!
fakemaster Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 The direction Rolex is going makes me sad. But if I ever need to dive 50 miles deep I might try it.
JohnG Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 when & who will be th 1st to rep this thing , It HAS been repped already. It is a crappy rep, but once and for all, THERE IS A REP OF THIS ALREADY:
jmt Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 If that is yours big congrats. It is the first new Rolex I have been interested in for quite a while. If I can get the money together I am wondering if buying the first year and sticking in a safe deposit box for my kids might be a good idea. Any thoughts? Rolex has been and probably will be a good investment, but you gotta like the watch. Cause with any luck the kids won't be selling... So, if you like it, great idea. I don't like the model ... not my taste... but still a nice timepiece.
JohnG Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 That is a 40mm. I am sure it is all wrong - look at the depth ratings for starters - it is a standard SSD dial with larger markers. But it IS a DSSD rep.

southcoast68 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Comparison pics with 16610 Sub and Panerai (pics stolen from the web) Now if those pics do not put the size of the Deep Sea into perspective, I don't know what will!!
docblackrock Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 That thing is HUGE! *adopts Sea-Cap'n voice* Ar-arhhhh, she be a beastie no doubts about it. A colossus in fact. Wonder what she looks like next to the 187?
