Time ago in a watch magazine I saw this bad boy...Today i decided to take a look what can be found on the internet about it...and I found some links...interesting...

I love the look of this vinty...I'll post a pic of it so for those who are not aware of how it looks can see that this is really one of the BIG watch family....I just love it...

well, I would like to see a rep of it...who else?

here is a link of a web page that tells you a litle more about it's history...

ROLEX DEEP SEA SPECIAL

Posted

Yeah, I read about this model somewhere. I think it sure is "interesting"...but also one of the ugliest watches I've ever seen. That TT bracelet really does the "trick". ;)

I like it, really. I just don't like the HUGE "Rolex" script on the dial. Ok, and maybe the crystal could be a bit shorter . . . a bit. That's a bit too superdome for me. Speaking of superdome . . .

It wasn't designed to look pretty at all.

Yeah..that's why they used GOLD on the bracelet of a professional diver's watch :blink:

Yeah, I also hate it when they put gold on stereo plugs ... oh, wait. :Jumpy:

I imagine the gold was an attempt to give it some class. :black_eye:

Stereo plugs, I understand. Diver's watch, I don't understand. :blink:

Do you have any more inside info for the reason they chose the gold?

Why yes. Rolex sold gold watches and wanted people to buy gold watches. :D

Seriously, I don't know, but it didn't harm it at 11KM down.

The ultimate tool watch. It wasn't designed to look pretty at all.

I really like it, and its ugliness is part of that.

@pugwash...I agree with you on this...
