but it's already " august 5th" in parts of the world?? so are they only talking about the "USA" ???  is it me or does that seem odd to anyone else?? I thought Rolex was a global company?? it's not like they are catering this to the US market?? what's become of Rolex?? surely they are not Panerai???

There will be..................

a blue DeepSea next week.

+1, Jocke

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

Oh, and I pray...

 
 By: Mike1066 : July 31st, 2014-12:07
... 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

What is that thing?

 
 By: GhostInTheMachine : August 1st, 2014-15:44
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... 

its a bubble...

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

just a water bubble :) [nt]

Teaser?

 
 By: jeffreysaul : August 2nd, 2014-05:39
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... 

Maybe Rolex have got some inspiration.................

A Submariner based annual calendar

Without a moon phase though. At least this would be a great annual calendar tool watch. Best Moritz

Siloxi hairsprings rolling out?

 
 By: GhostInTheMachine : August 2nd, 2014-19:51
Maybe they are rolling out the new Siloxi hairspring to the Submariner and the Datejust 36?

Well its the 4th and nothing announced yet..!!

Nothing on the Rolex website either....just the same pic say to be announced on the 4th :( Anybody else know what it is yet..?? I'm intrigued :) Andy.

it's all part of a plan

they are measuring how much hype they can generate by holding out like this. online intelligence is being captured to gage the market. :)

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

Ummm....

 
 By: Mike1066 : August 4th, 2014-13:52
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 ... 

it deserves this comment...

Truly abysmal? ...  

An Official picture

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

Ok, I'll be the weird guy... again.

 
 By: Tim_M : August 4th, 2014-18:27
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... 

Perfectly understandable Tim

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
