Okay, so there it is. The monster of depth!😉
So I’m relaxing g at home, phone rings...
AD: What are you doing?
Me: Nothing, why?
AD: Can you come in?
Me: Why not!😉
So here it is, my new Deep Sea Challenge!💪🏻
Initial thoughts:
Everything you read is true, it’s big, it’s thick no doubt about it, when I first grabbed it I was scared but the weight is way lighter than I expected, the Titanium makes a huge difference!
On my wrist, it wears at the limit without overhanging however it has a big presence which is totally to be expected from this model, after all is not a watch for the dinner table at a nice restaurant...
The watch is tall, it won’t fit under any shirt or jacket, but a sporty outfit will makes it at home, the only part that I have to get used to but the curved crystal and bezel makes it less noticeable.
In my opinion if properly sized it’s very comfortable to wear.
The reason why I decided to pull the trigger is mostly for the technical achievements that we’re all familiar, and as a Rolex collector I wanted to add this milestone piece to my watch box.
Personally I’m very happy to have this watch in my collection so thanks to my AD, for the allocation!
Thank you all for looking, Happy New Year to al my friends here!
Cheers. 🥂💪🏻

Congratulations !!
Despite its huge size it looks actually really correct on your wrist, and as you say, would be totally fine with a sporty outfit ! Thank you for sharing this new piece of your collection !
Congrats.it’s a unique piece
And wears quite comfortable , I love this one, it’s going to be a fun summer watch
That the 51mm DeepSea Challenge uses the same 3230 movement as a 36mm oyster perpetual
illustrates just how much 'meat' surrounds the movement to provide the insane depth rating - quite the engineering feat +++
About 2 hours and 36 minutes ...
from the sea level, for JC’s torpedo-shaped submersible! Gen 1 submersible (Bathyscaphe Trieste) took about 4 hours and 47 minutes!
As you mentioned
For a Rolex collector that is a watch to be added. Each Rolex has a place of its own In the collection. Enjoy wearing it.
Your wrist shot is the first that somehow works, even from the side
you are adequately burly 😂 I gather it isn’t in the updated Rolex price list for 2023 that was leaked online. Maybe it’ll be very limited piece indeed 🤔
No, I got it at the current MSRP. Honestly I now nothing about the new pricing but if it’s more expensive then I guess I did good;)
As for the size, I have to say that I was worried that it’s way to big for me, as my sweet spot I 38-42mm, but this 50mm works due to the lug design and overall ergonomics. Appreciate the kind comment.
It’s very possible there won’t be a new price because it’ll disappear as quickly as it came…
It’s not in the new list at all, so I’m suspicious 🤨
Thank you, I’m a bit surprised myself however someone on this forum who goes by the name Nico, once said: it needs to be seen in the metal before judgement;-))) Wise guy hah?😉🥂
A comparison shot with the Cameron Deep Sea, I took today. ...
Huge (no pun intended!) congratulations!
The technological innovation and design of this watch is more than enough to satisfy any enthusiast and collector. A powerfully fun piece to have, and one that will always stir up exciting conversation. This will be one timepiece where history will look u...
In whole honesty, this watch is truly appreciated by people like us here on this forum, due to the fact that we can discover and appreciate the innovations packed in watches such is this.
For me it was love at first site, since I always dreamed about Rolex making the “original”, available to the public, but I didn’t expected to be in Titanium also with the ceramic inserts in the links, the glidelock clasp with spring action, let alone the ...
BIG Congrats!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Glad to see that you pulled the trigger!!! As you know, I'm a big fan of this watch, and for me it was love at first sight since the day it was released. It's so amazingly comfortable, I've been wearing it pretty much everyday since I got mine. And, every...
It's a crazy piece indeed ...
once you factor in how much compressive force it is able to withstand! It may not end up being so popular though, because the size will be a no-go for many! 🍻
I completely share your sentiments, I loved it since I learned about the prototype, but when it was released to the public, I dreamed about scoring one;-)))
Luckily my AD decided to allocate it to me, and same as you it will get plenty of wrist time for sure! The size and weight it’s a pleasant surprise, also share your view on comfort, another surprise, the only unusual for me is the height, but definitely n...
Congratulations
I love hear your thinking behind this purchase and agree it’s an awesome technical achievement. It looks good on your wrist and I hope it gets lots of wrist time especially if there is water involved. Enjoy!
This masssive monster looks right at home on your wrist!
Kudos for being able to pull this off effortlessly!
Congrats! Looks great on your wrist!
Looks like the DSC is gaining good momentum on WPS!
Congrats on a a great watch!
I probably would have added it to the collection for the same reasons. Not because of wearability but because of the technical achievements it possesses.
Wow…you are now officially a BIG Rolex watch collector 🥳😊💪🏻
I happened to try the Omega Ultra Deep yesterday and I have to agree they are wearable as well. This is the steel version with a very comfortable rubber strap, looks really nice but I don’t think I’ll need it, although I fully agree with your reasoning to...
Big is the right term for this watch not my collecting, that is more appropriate to you;)
This was totally unexpected, since there’s way bigger fishes in my pond who I thought will get it, however I got lucky I guess... I saw that Omega myself, a couple of weeks back, I like it no doubt but since I already have the Cameron DSSD this was a no g...
Congrats to this collector's piece!
Have not seen it in real yet, but as you argued rightfully: a must have for a Rolex fan. PS It really doesn't fit under a jacket sleeve? 🤔
That is like landing a marlin
Massive and rare catch. Wow! I’ve never seen this in the wild. I would soon I believe so but am 100% sure I will never be offered one to buy, direct from the AD, even if I had the funds. Tell u the truth. I admire this piece.
Thank you!
To be honest I didn’t had high expectations on ever getting this piece since I consider myself a small fish in this Lake called New York. Way bigger and deeper wallets play in this field than mine, but I guess relationships and time spent with certain AD’...
