I like the way you put your point across. I see the Deepsea as a step forward and not backward;an amazing feat of engineering as compared to the original which IMO would look a bit awkward today.
If the size is disturbing, it's still conservative and very wearable as compared to some Pams (341,300)?
Anyway,isn't some controversy and craziness from a brand like Rolex rather stimulating?
Best wishes
