Rolex Deep Sea

 
 By: baufoam : May 22nd, 2020-17:23
I am thinking about asking my AD in Los Angeles to get me a “Deep Sea” Rolex, the one with the blue gradated dial. My thought is that it’s really something of a ridiculous watch, but I think it’s rather fun and really quite beautiful in its own big, thick... 

I have the old version, and honestly, it's a really FUN watch! I got it from a Patek/Rolex AD a few years ago (and back then it was easy to get anyway), so I'm not sure of wait lists today..

...but hopefully it won't take as long as a Daytona, or Pepsi, etc.. It is HUGE and obviously unnecessary in our daily lives, but again, I love it every time I wear it! And the newer version is even nicer, in my opinion ;-) Here's for comparison, on my Ko...  

My experience is similar...

I too have the original version. I've thought about getting the newer Deep Sea with the blue gradation but it just hasn't been high priority. "Ridiculous" is a good word for this watch. I knew that when I bought it. It's silly, and it's way too big for my...

That “slightly older” Sea Dweller is the real gem. Awesome side by side of both divers!

The third is the charm, though.

Maybe not the rarest of the DRSD variations, but that's okay! For years I wanted a DRSD, and I am glad I finally scratched that itch a few years ago. ...

According to the largest Rolex AD in the world (Siddiqui..

and Son), it’s the most limited stainless steel Rolex in terms of production. Probably due to the combination of the dial and the rigorous water resistance needed. I helped a colleague get one, but from a gray dealer. It’s a formidable piece. Good luck wi... 

i like the dial very much!

Here's Mine

On my 16.5cm wrist. I don't think it wears too big but the weight is noticeable. Mine is the prior calibre, got it about 7yrs ago after a c.8 month wait through an AD where I had no prior purchase history but doubt that would be possible today. In answer ...  

Back in 2017 I was dying to get a D-Blue...

And finally my AD was able to deliver one in April 2018. Having worn a number 44, 45, 46 and 47 mm watches for many years (and I still do), I thought the Deepsea would be at least be similar in feel on my wrist. Beautiful as it was and no matter how hard ...  

I will definitely get one

by hook or crook. And I will wear it for my monthly scuba excursions. You are so lucky to get one.
