a blue DeepSea next week.

Interested to see what it will look like. I have a feeling it will be a deep, navy blue, not the blue of the WG sub. Should be neat to see. -Mike

... that it is not in WG! Please, keep the precious metals away from the Sea-Dweller family! Please let it continue to be a tool watch! -Mike

Just what is that little thing above right from the P? That is the question I think. Some new kind of helium escape valve? It appears like its protruding out of the case, almost as if it punctured the case from within? Or is the photo under water (the blu... 

in this shot it doesn't look like one, but there are others where there's 2 bubbles...

I would like to see the adaptation of a matching "Blue" rubber strap, that would change the whole appearance. I would also like to see the addition of a precious metal DeepSea. My preference would be yellow or rose gold with either a blue or black dial an...

But the new strategy was no picnic . :-) :-) :-) ...  

A few weeks ago, I said in a post in response to Baron that I love the Sea-Dweller and that in all of its iterations it is the perfect Rolex, IMHO, and that included the DSSD which I could at least admire for its technical accomplishments and pushing the ... 

NT.

in a 1 to 10 ugliness scale it scores a well deserved 11...imho

Truly abysmal? ...  

For those who are interested. Much sportier, I'll need time to like it fully. ...  

I like it... I'm a Rolex fan but not a Rolex purist, and I have a long catalog of "Black Sheep" Rolex references on my list of favorites. This is a big blue sports watch, and it's redolent of unpretentious fun. It isn't a poem in steel or a product of art... 

I think I would need time but in some circumstances and from another point of view it is certainly a Rolex that is worth it. Cheers, Mark
