Yellow gold Deepsea
A couple quick shots of the new Deepsea in a case in Bucherer. I took these pictures two days ago and I went back today to ask if I could try it on but it’s been sold. It looks more attractive in the metal than I thought it would but, much as I love the D...
Agreed, Hussam.
Although at a technical level I am impressed that Rolex have made a gold watch that can withstand the stated depth, plus at least 25%. Albeit with an inner case inside the gold outer case. I would have thought that gold would be far too soft for anywhere ...
Biggest problem is...
...if you dive with it, it will drag you down to the bottom of the ocean : )

Yes, I quite liked the combination and tone of the yellow gold and blue.
It’s just that there is a LOT of gold! Given the size of the watch it is going to get noticed.
If you go all out then the metal rings on the indices and hands should be gold too 😇
And a gold frame on the date window as well
But then you won’t be able to move your arm!
More seriously, I assume the hands and indices are already gold like most/all Rolexes.
I think it’s audacious and cool. An “In your face” and
“I don’t care what you think of me” watch. So in that sense it’s a “confidence watch.” The Smurf type dial works on this watch and it would not be nearly as nice with a metallic sunray dial.
Yes, you’re right.
Rolex know what they are doing and who to aim their products at. It’s just that this one isn’t for me or the work/social scenarios that I find myself in. But that’s fine. The right person will love this watch I’m sure.
Oh c’mon now. When is the last time
you went diving at over three hundred feet let alone 12,000?🤣
1974 meets 2024
I love that this watch exists, 50 years after it would've been less remarkable, though I'm still sticking with the JC 126660.
It’s a badass watch for a badass
guy ( or even badass gal!) They know what they’re doing. I bet whoever buys this watch doesn’t get too close to the water (except on their yachts!) let alone dive.
Thanks for sharing, Jon.
Need a really strong wrist to carry 44mm deep sea in solid gold. BTW, I am surprised to find those Rolex sports watches displayed in AD are for sale. As in my home town, all these are still for display only….. Cheers, Henry
No problem.
It may well have been an exhibition piece but the sales assistant told me that a group of tourists came in and bought a load of watches. I imagine that if they bought enough this watch would also have become available for sale!
Wrist shots
My local AD in England also had this `Deepsea in as an exhibition piece. I like the colour combination but it is immense on the wrist: ...
