Deep Sea Dweller v Sea Dweller?
Can some Rolex expert please explain whats the difference with the Deep Sea Dweller and the newly launched Sea Dweller 4000?
There is a small price difference and obviously the size, but why would they launch a new sea dweller? Furthermore, the new sea dweller is resistant to 4000m, whereas the Deep Sea Dweller is resistant to 3900m. Wouldn't that mean that the new Sea Dweller 4000 is better constructed and hence, should also command a higher price?
However, the new Sea Dweller 4000 is price slightly cheaper.
Can somebody please explain the differences between the 2 and the significance of it?

Thoughts....
I could give you a few technical differences, but actually, I think a better piece of advice would be to see the watches in the flesh. I would happily wear the Sea-Dweller but simply couldn't wear the Deep Sea. Its size on the wrist is very different. It ...
The 4000 refers to 4000ft, not 4000m......
this new model (116600) is the replacement for the 16600 (previous model of 4000ft/1220m Sea Dweller). Inline with the other current sport models, it has the slightly wider lugs, and the ceramic bezel, and addionally the fine adjustment bracelet clasp. I ...
DSSD vs SD4000
The differences are the case dimensions as well as the depth rating. The new SD4000 gained a homage "Milsub" bezel with full demarcation instead of 0-15 and then 5 minute increments as featured on all previous SD models. You also cop the rehaut on the Dee...
It's 4000 ft that is the biggest difference IMO
the new seadweller gives a 4000 ft rating against 12800 ft for the Deep Sea , that's a lot of difference makes 1220 mtr vs 3900 mtr ... ...
thanks for the advice!
Thank you all for the advice. It did help me clear up some doubts on what I wanted. It is such a tough decision to make, especially when these 2 models are so similar, but also starkly different in many ways! Thank you fellow Rolex enthusiasts! HAGWE!
