Rolex

Further to my Sunday's coffee escapade, without further a due, first impressions on a Rolex D-blue DEEPSEA attached. - Weight and Size - Weighting in a very hefty 220g (almost exactly half a pound!) this is a super heavy weight category; for me at least. ...  

Envy you and those who have meatier wrists.

I would not hesitate to try one if you could. I would not consider my wrist particularly large, quite to the contrary medium sized at best. Yet the watch sits on my wrist just perfectly fine. The biggest watch I have worn until now was a 40mm GMT. I know ... 

I've owned the 116600 sea-Dweller, and thickness is an issue. It felt nice at first, but after a few hours of activity, the thickness would make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. The DEEPSEA is even thicker and larger, so I'm afraid that it's probably o... 

I think that after a while I will only be wearing this watch summer time or on a winter vacations in a sunny place. On a long run the thickness may proof to be too much, and seasonal wear will be the answer. Best again.

I totally agree with you, the dial makes this watch. Best, Nicolas

I've measured it to approximately 18mm, that is HUGE! I would have never thought I would like a huge watch like that - but I do! Sure it can not be worn with a suit, but it will be my #1 watch for the summer. Can't wait for summer already, maybe the globa... 

There is one issue though I am wondering about. How will this dial "perform" over the decades. Will it always stay the same or will it turn to entirely black or blue dial? Since there is no clear cut from black to blue, and the colours just morph into eac... 

Not that it does not look good on you! Saw the "standard" model a few times and it looked good on people. This Cameron edition adds a bit more spice to it with the dial. Enjoy your new purchase. Best Moritz

You are absolutely right, I have passed by the regular model literally hundreds of times without a thought even crossing my mind to buy it. What have crossed my mind was - who would wear such a huge watch? - .......and the answer now is ....me! The DIAL e... 

I find the bracelet too narrow for me! Congrats on an icon of modern Rolex best Imran

I have never replaced a bracelet for a strap on any of my watches yet. As I will only be wearing this watch Summer time and on vacations in Tropics what do you think about a strap performing in the water conditions. Would it last long? Are they suitable f... 

...  

Although I appreciate the technology that has gone into this model and I love the way it looks I'll have to check again the thickness to see if I can get away with it. The other piece I'm after is the 4000 (and the gold Yacht Master..!) but this one with ... 

The watch is thick, no other way to describe it. My wrist is medium sized at best, but think I have pulled it though. As crazy as it sounds I think the watch wears smaller than it really is!! I have tried on a Sea Dweller 4000 but it did not lured me in. ... 

It is so impressive and so fantastically engineered. And it looks so great - IMHO even with a suit. Weight and size don\'t bother me. The only thing that always let me hesitate in the last moment before pulling the trigger is that the case is just put on ... 

As I have stated many times I have bought the watch for the dial. Since I have it though I am reading a lot about diving watches and a Sea Dweller in particular. What a fantastic watch! The engineering is state of the art technology. Just stunning. My wri... 

I\'m interested to hear how your other watches feel after you wear this monster for some time? Did you have any watches that are close to this in size? What is the stander size of your other watches?They say once you go big you don\'t go back because it r... 

The most unbelievable thing just actually has happened - I just love this watch and its size! As I have stated before, I am a medium size, classic, pure looks kind of a watch guy. Never, ever I was considering a diving watch, certainly not in this size. A...
