"Sea-Dweller" removed from the Deepsea dial

[nr1416]

Just noticed Rolex removed a line of text from the Deepseas. Interesting

[vinny84]

Yup, it makes sense to give the Deepsea it's own model line considering they axed the YMII. Deepsea is taking over that spot.

$52K. Wow.

Yup, 22 oz of gold at current gold price. I'm guessing the watch is a hair under that.

The YG sub is a bargain at $39K.

Is the dial a flat blue, or sunburst?

I wish they get rid of the “officially certified” line as well.

All Swiss certified chronometer watches must have this on the dial as it is one of the rules of the Swiss COSC test.

Ooo, great spot!

I'm all for one less line of text, but at the same time I do enjoy being part of the Sea-Dweller line.

Truth be told after 5 years of ownership, I forgot what mine actually said and how it was oriented, had to look. Kind of like the ring lock text, I remember it is there when I read people online complain about it.

Same here. I'm glad I have mine that says SD on it now

Looks a little cleaner

Deepsea Challenge, which is part of the Deepsea model line, still carries the sea-dweller name on the dial.

they haven't change nothing on it and it's based on a 2012 prototype, which had it

[Tom Arai]

Deepsea always first so now better being own watch.

For me, it’s the “Oyster Perpetual Date” line at the top, I’m not sure what value that adds, and would be fine with its removal.

Well it's an Oyster case, and Perpetual (auto) movement with Date function. That verbiage goes back to the 1920s/30s/40s so is part of the heritage of the company and links most models, past and present.

Been joking with the AD for years about a full PM DeepSea.
Unbelievable. What a beautiful chunk of star debris.

Yeah, thanks, I’m aware of the history, and appreciate the Rolex heritage. These three words just don’t add any value to me, and I’m not certain that they are an important factor for anyone when buying a Rolex, as such could be removed and wouldn’t detract from the marketability or enjoyment of the watch, and in fact might improve the dial esthetic.

Said differently, it appears to me that including “Oyster Perpetual Date” is a legacy/antiquated marketing tactic that doesn’t have the same impact today.

Opinions could vary on this though.
