There are two watches worth $25k the pair on the thumbnail. It could only be another Mr X video. Big thanks to him for letting me peel off the stickers on his brand new 126660 and have a bit of a go at his 'old' 116660. Not for me. Which is just as well really, as I don't see too many piles of $100 bills lying around my house! Cheers, JOMW.

I must be one of the lucky ones: bought my DeepSea Cameron last year and was fortunate to get another 'wait-listed' model this year and I have the warranty cards for both. There wasn't even any mention of "we're supposed to hold this but ...". However, this year they did remove almost all the stickers whereas last year they only did so after asking if I wanted them to. Since I'm not a flipper this isn't an issue to me. I love my DeepSea but I do agree that's it's not for everyone - no watch is.

I'll stick to the Ginault Ocean Rover. Any company that has revenue in excess of $4.7 billion dollars (2016) and has managed to remain a registered charity is going to have some less than respectable business practices. If I was told I wasn't getting the guarantee card for 12 months after having forked out 💰💰💰💰 there would be a call to the card company to cancel the transaction. Good on you for your honest review and bringing this to people's attention. OUTRAGEOUS as you said.

I'd never buy a product from a company that was artificially limiting supply to create scarcity and inflation. And, I'd never buy one, period. I'd rather have an Omega or a Grand Seiko Spring Drive and pocket the difference. Rolex and all the homages are completely lost on me. If only Bond had never worn one... 🤔

@SuperLordofwar1 4 жыл бұрын

It's closer to the heart lol...But seriously I would like to know the answer too. From what I know and learned so far you never wear a watch with a metal bracelet to tight on arm, some unwritten rule is to leave enough space so you can stuck a finger underneath...Only leather and rubber straps goes tighter on the wrist

@ryan_bitzer 5 жыл бұрын

I'm surprised they don't have the magnification on the crystal for the date complication like most other Rolex's have. Especially for a dive watch that has large and clear hour markers. I don't like the bulkiness at all either and have never been too big a fan of the iconic Mercedes hands. Too much text in my opinion that distracts from the gorgeously blue/black gradient dial! But I guess it's just an acquired taste. Thanks for the review!

@kastawaykay620 5 жыл бұрын

Ryan Bitzer they cant put the cyclops on the date because of the depth rating. It won’t hold up to the pressure. The 2017 sea dweller added the cyclops - it was the first deep sea to have it.

I have the old model and I get what you're saying. It is a chunky watch without question, but I have the opposite feeling in terms of comfort and "wear-ability". I think it's one of the most comfortable watches I have. I have quite a few watches, but if I had to have only one, it would be this watch. If I was allowed two, it would be this and the Omega Speedmaster 57. I LOVE that watch.

Not entirely sure about the point of those extreme pressure ratings. The only thing going to that depths in actual diving is a deep submersible, and inside the thing you are presumably maintaining something close to surface pressure (or am I wrong about this?), since the water is not pressing in on your body and trying to collapse your lungs. And I haven't seen anybody scuba diving to anything approaching these depths. So this might be useful if you wanted to put the watch on a robot arm or something outside of the submersible, but otherwise the utility escapes me. I am all for functionality in tool watches, but this one seems to be a bit of a stunt.
