Rolex

Hey guys, as I mentioned in my earlier threads, I liked this new release a LOT. I had a long-term appreciation for the crazy 1960 Deepsea Special, and the 2012 Deepsea Challenge, and used to think their coolness is just off the charts!! When Rolex announc...  

Thanks for the photo journal

Good for you.

but, as I wrote upon release, I would never consider ownership as the piece is not designed to be worn. Enjoy!

Truly an engineering marvel to say the lest. I saw it myself on display at my AD, and I like it quite a lot, and I must say that the ergonomics must be fantastic since at least in the glass display it doesn’t look as huge as I imagined. Your description i...  

AD favorite phrase🤣

I think one reason I got it was I moved very quickly, and inquired/expressed interest within a week of its release. Fwiw, my SA said that there were 3 other interested parties ...🤷‍♂️ Thanks! 🙏😊

PS: Equally big thanks for the superb presentation of this special piece! I cross posted it into our Editors Picks section, which contains a selection of the best/most significant articles published on WatchProSite: WatchProSite - Official WatchProSite Re... 

It's indeed an honor to get cross-posted! Also, many thanks for your support during this journey!!😊😉

I heard if you wave around your arms under water it’s only good to 10,900 meters Just kidding I know that’s not how it works - congrats!

The most challenging point is its wearability. You wear it very well! I love this true tool watch a lot, mon ami. Oh yes, I love it! Best, Nicolas

You wear it remarkable well, if I may add, so well, I’m considering a vist to my AD. George

The only company that can pull this off, reliably, in a mass produced watch. I love it!!

of a one off that was released as a consumer reference.

Although I don’t think I could pull it off this watch is an engineering marvel; as you said, form meets function — in that way very Rolex. I hope you get to go diving with it, or at least bring it into the ocean. Enjoy.

The wider Ringlock adds a bit of 'wearability" to the design of the watch that is not unattractive; definitely a "I'm wearing an engineering marvel" feel.

but I'm starting to like the look of the pronounced ring-lock. It gives the dial a porthole look, which is further accentuated by the domed crystal!!! [Pic from web] ...  

that hurt

Just for future reference, in case anybody is interested ... 1. Lug width=24 mm 2. This one does have the fliplock extension (aka diver's extension). This feature inexplicably got removed from the 3rd gen DSSD (ref 136660) ...  

... to make their wonderful watches and introduce innovations to make them so desirable. Enjoy it so much and in the best of good health! Abel

The super-domed crystal does have the LEC. Just for future reference ... ...  

I'm pretty happy with it so far! 🤗 ...  

The beast has been tamed!!!😀😀😀

I preferred the steel prototype of 2012...

thanks for sharing! and a huge congrats!
