DSSD is my daily wearer with suit and tie. Full disclosure, I’m 6’6 and have 8.25” wrists, so optically, it looks just right perfect on me :)

Marc, I’m 9 minutes in, and it is like listening to my wife talk about a pair of shoes she likes but don’t fit her 🤦‍♂️

Really nice and thorough review, very helpful thanks!!!

As a big sporty fella, I love the Sea Dwellers 50th anniversary, two Tone and the DSSD Blue. If I had all three I would own no other watch except for an additional dress Patek.

“Nothing better then oysters steel bracelet “ I agree 💯 % . Especially with buttery smooth Rolex steel.

It’s my daily Rolex also. My only Rolex lol. I totally love it. It’s a awesome watch beefy and strong. Love your wrist-bone Marc 😎. I had a Hulk but it felt tiny compared to James Cameron

Great watch, the DSSD deep blue!!

Two of my favorite watches...Nice !

best review on d-blue, thanks for sharing with us.

Love it man!

Yeah, lovely stuff. I think this is pretty much the only Rolex now that remains technically relevant in their catalog.

Amazing, somebody who owns the watch and is not afraid to handle it without white gloves

I do wear the 116660 on a rubber B from day one on. This makes it really comfortable so it sits on my wrist since January 2017.

Nice vidéo Thanks

Marc-You must be psychic as both of these watches are on my grail list. Looking forward to what you think of the new Seiko LX line. Keep the great vids coming.

hi there please do you have any info on James Cameron deep sea new one will it hold it value ?

I think you hit it perfectly when mentioning wrist size. I also have a 7.5" wrist with flat top...and for me the 116660 DSSD is super comfortable. I think the titanium caseback helps it sit right too. The sub's are too small for me.

I love my DSSD James Cameron, it just oozes strength and class, something about Rolex’s own steel that has a special sheen. I can’t deny the Omega’s technical advantages, co-axial and all that malarkey but..... they just look.....well....disposable to me, not something I would expect to keep for ever, a watch to wear for a while and then flip for something better, frankly....

@Marc Goldberg, I have both the black and JC 126660 Deepsea. I had the previous iteration in black reference 116660. The newer iteration definately sits better on the wrist and is better balanced. Love them both, but since seeing this video, im going to have to purchase a Grand Seiko for sure. Its a really nice piece and i think the aesthetics are alot sharper than the Rollies

love this watch the Deepsea..

Long weekend... time to get that GS up for sale. 👋🏼

Hi were you get it from

Love that watch

Just got a call today from my AD. They just got a James Cameron Deepsea. Had to watch this video again. Mark I enjoy all your videos. I also have a SD43 red letters MK2. Not sure I will keep both. Honestly this watch wasn't on my radar but you are right if an AD call you on SS watch you have to buy it. Besides it just solidify my relation with my AD guy. Which you think should be a keeper Mark? I think I'm selling my SD43. Anyway if you ever in south Texas send me a line. Margaritas and a mex tex meal on me buddy!

I can smell the flip monster coming for the seiko.

DSSD is very thick and big, a real diver for swimming and diving, probably the best. But it also means limited wrist time. My "deep diver" gets like 10 days a year max.

I love the DSSD 126600 JC, but it's too big for me. I did a wrist check of a DSSD 126600, a SD4000 16600, and a Submariner 124060. The Submariner is by far the most elegant watch of the three, but my heart lies with the SD4K 116600 (they didn't have one to try). I like that it looks like a Submariner but it's far more than a Submariner. A non-watch guy may say: That's a nice watch. A casual watch guy might say: Is that a Rolex? A Rolex guy might say: I love your Submariner. But only a Sea-Dweller guy will know it's a Sea-Dweller. It's not oversized just to set it apart. I also love GS, but I wish they put that power gauge on the back of the watch. The GS dive watch though, I hate with all my heart. Put that GS next to any other dive watch, and it will make the other dive watch look amazing. A 44mm dive watch with a depth rating of 200m? Really, Seiko? The proportions are just all over the place. That clasp is horrendous looking. I can't take that watch serious as a dive watch.

Cool taper man

Love them both. If I had those 2, I would be unable to wear anything else. My collection would be complete.

And the debate continues on the Spring Drive. It's a mechanical watch in how it's powered, wound, and driven. The quartz module regulates the speed of that mechanical system. It's a hybrid, but I'd say more mechanical than quartz. Both are relatively large watches. I think the case shape of the Sea Dweller could be a lot better as far as mitigating the thickness of the watch. It could easily sit a couple mm lower on the wrist with a more curved profile. I have the wrist size to wear either, but there's a limit to how thick I want a watch to appear and the Rolex exceeds that for me. I'm not a fan of Omega's Plantet Ocean line either for the same reason.

Good video! I bought a black Deepsea from my AD last week, but it wasn't a watch I was previously familiar with. I've been feeling unsure about it...may send you an email with a few questions.

I have the same watch, and it's the smallest watch in my personal stable. My standard are my 47mm Panerais, and if you ever want to upgrade to a big watch, look no further than a Slatoust 191 ChS which measures 60mm without the canteen crown and 70mm with it. I wear mine several times a week on my 8-3/4 (220mm) wrist and when I put the Deepsea back on it feels like a little girl's watch.

Nice video

Deja vu Marc,, just got my second Rolex

I love my Deepsea black dial watch

That deepsea is absolutely stunning, but too thick as an all around driver. If they could make it a few mm thinner would be insane

Hey buddy, great review! Thanks. what's your wrist size?

Hi Marc, we got our DSSD's about the same time. I then purchased the Deep Sea , single red, about 9 months before you got yours. Do you still have the 50th Anniv Deep Sea ? I love both of these watches. Great review......whenever you talk about your Rolex Sea Dwellers......I'm rivited! Thanks again Marc

I’m going to maybe get one

Come clean. Rolex hired you as their marketing person.

Nice video but try and Upload 1080p and higher res videos! 720p is low!

Owned two Deep Sea's flipped them both. It's not the weight it's the distribution of it. It's top heavy and there's not enough weight in the bracelet to keep it balanced. The Omega plopruf is just as heavy but it's much more balanced on the steel strap as it has a heavy clasp, its therefore much more comfortable.

Marc i think the deep sea is design it for a wet Diving suit correct me if I'm wrong ? :-))))

I’m right there with you, but I almost wish I could watch this as a non-watch person just to full experience the total insanity.

Great video Marc. The James Cameron blows the doors off the Grand Seiko. Funny how it took wearing the JV phor you to re appreciate the Varsity.

I had to take my DS back the AD after two weeks! Just uncomfortable 😣 picked up a Sub TT instead

Th3 dial and clasp on the James Cameron is great. Everything else...not so much. That said, if it brings you joy Marc then wear it proud.

Very tall. I'd buy the Seiko.

Lets make a deal on that rubberB strap

Wear it on a NATO strap for extra functionality. NATO straps are so comfortable.

The ultimate guilty pleasure . In so many levels it’s quite ridiculous and wrong , the Hublot guys one and only Rolex because it’s huge .. I had the all black for a while around 4 years ago and sold it quite quickly . However for all it’s faults I kinda love it too. If money were no option I would bring the big Jc in in a heartbeat ...Continue to to focus what’s great about this beast...Enjoy!

You might as well have titled this, "rolex deep sea vs grand seiko " wtf!

Ahhhhhhh the Deep Sea. Don't we know someone who should have chosen this over their fifty fathoms of pain? 🙈

A 44mm watch weighing 207 grm is not suited on a 20 mm bracelet tapering down to 15 mm. Thank God Rolex understood this and that is why in the Mark II series they made it 22mm bracelet. Since you are always used to wear big watches in a chunky metal bracelet that is why Deep Sea might have suited you well but if you ask me wearing most watches with leather strap for comfort I will say that being a nice looking watch ofcourse the Deep Sea is not a everyday watch.

The GS is large for large sake. This is like comparing a Kia Stinger & a Porsche 991 Turbo S

Should have bought the black dial

how do you guys afford this the watch i dream of haveing the real but omg i see every one in the usa has the money to buy one from the comments

What's the depth rating on the seiko? 10 feet. Lol

A fifteen minute video on watch size and wearer experience, yet no lug-to-lug wingspan measurements on either watch? Huh?? The sunlight streaming through the overhang of the watch at the beginning of the video, streaming onto your forearm under the shadow of the watch, clearly demonstrated that the Rolex is too big for you.

i wear mine at work. lol just a cameron ;()

So you like timex

The DSSD blows away the Grand Seiko in my opinion. The GS dial is too big and the bezel is just crammed too close to the nobby bezel edges.... looks like it got puked onto a nut imo. the DSSD on the other hand looks beautiful.

'Original Gas Escape Valve' and 'Ring Lock System.' on the chapter ring destroys nearly a perfectly acceptable larger watch.

Grand Seiko all the way

What I’ve learned here is..... size matters?

Is it a cop out for me to say no to either, and just say yes to a plain ‘ole no-date Submariner?

PHIRST

An 116660 on a Rubber B strap saves you £2000 over the 126660... Just saying, like...

Wear it as much as possible and the GS diver will be gone. Than you won’t feel guilty when your Hulk comes in. Then you will be a Rolex diver complete set nut. The planets will be in a lineament in your mine.

The Grand Seiko is better (considering your other Rolex pieces) than the DSSD in my opinion. The Deepsea just looks goofy on an arm, maybe that’s why they strapped it to a submarine!

It's absolutely maxed out on his wrist is of your wrist is smaller the Rolex is too big it's that simple.

It's not as big as an invicta 70 mm

Only reasonably comfortable at best? Pass...

I had one and sold it to get a submariner, most uncomfortable watch I have ever owned .

a PARODY of a watch, SATIRE material, a LOOK LIKE A FOOL TOOL, the deepdwelling sinker is a stinker, designwise, and with a gas outlet, just like the wearer. MORBID, by rolex.

If you’re not over 6’ tall and a beast you have no business wearing this manly watch...

Why are u wearing a rodent ? 😃

Hi Marc Archie advertise for your books about dog, and you should advertise about Archie horns. You are married to the Rolex and Seiko watches and the dogs are your mistresses.

It's a PIG buy a 116600 for some class!

i thought americans would like heavier and bigger

Yawn. Lugs. Lugs. You lost me when when attempted to compare a Seiko with Rolex. Please.

The grand seiko rubbish again, STOP DOING ADVERTISING FOR THOSE FRAUDSTERS. It is NOT HYBRID, HOWEVER YOU PHRASE IT. The DYNAMO THAT MAKES ELECTRICITY is spring driven - DA !

The GS also looks cheesy. Time to flip, Marc.

I have the black Deepsea
