Very over-engineered for me, but it’s great owning it

The Rolex Deepsea can be taken down to a depth of 3,900 meters (12,800 feet) - meaning its water proofing is far, far in excess of what I and almost everyone else would ever require. But it is nice to own a beast like this
Steel, with ceramic bezel, 44mm case This version features the unusual blue and black James Cameron dial

Rolex's dive watch, in my opinion. If you just scale it down to 39mm, you have it!!! Enjoy!

I feel the same way about my Seamaster PO chrono…

I do however use the stopwatch function on my boat and jet skis all the time. I guess the 9300 movement with column wheel requires that excess thickness.

It’s a whale of a Rolex

This one also has the “cool”factor going for it!

Over engineering is part of the luxury buying experience.

How many Ferrari owners have red lined their car?? People, especially men, like buying products that have excessive engineering prowess. I see nothing wrong with buying a luxury product with performance characteristics that won’t be used.

Love it ! Congrats.

Great watch. On my 6.5 wrist. It’s more comfortable then many smaller models. Sits great and feels great.
