Honestly it's the Omega Ultra Deep that I really want to try, Mark -- steel with the bracelet and black/blue dial.

New vs. Old Surprises: DD40 and DSSD

By: CR : December 11th, 2022-15:12

I had been wanting to compare two "old" models with their current updates. The first was the DSSD. As we know, the new 136660 has a slightly larger date window, AR-coated crystal (one side), slimmer bezel, visibly chamfered crystal, and some other feature...

Deep Sea James Cameron... This damn watch is haunting me. 12660 or 13660, it doesn't matter. I want one.

Can't go wrong with either one, my friend. I'd give the 136660 a slight edge though.

I will keep that in mind and see what Fate has for me. ;)

Love the DD with the smooth bezel

here is a pic of my DD40 with baguette diamonds

Thanks for these comparisons, Craig!

Same for me!

🤞 For both of us, mon ami!!!

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I actually prefer the manner in which Rolex executed their gradient blue dial . . .

Thanks for these superb wrist shots. This Ultra Deep is intriguing me, a lot.

My pleasure, mon ami!

Thanks Mark, that blue Ultra Deep would be the one for me, if I got one.

Thanks for the great pictures and comparisons!

I just know 136660 exists.....

Yes. :))))
