I am not aware if a high end DSC was ever made. Every one I have seen were 2813 versions including my own. I know Stan (@WackoBirdKeeper) in the US sold them years ago but most other versions come from AliExpress or DHgate as far as I am aware.
The versions I have are some NOS (New Old Stock) versions that my supplier found in his warehouse when he cleaned up. Getting these was pure luck. I am also unaware of anyone ever making these in a higher end version.
@WackoBirdKeeper, since you delivered, my winder makes a heavy noise
I'm looking at buying a 126660. I want to get a 2824 version so I can swap a gen ETA into it. My question is if a 2824-2 would fit to gain the instant date change function.

There is no difference in movement thickness or stem height between a 2824 and and a 2824-2 so swapping those movements in the same case is possible.
Some of the DSSD reps were/are fitted with a 2836 though, which is a thicker movement with a taller stem height. In that case you could use a gen 2836 and have the instant date flip.
To round out the discussion, a 2824 can replace a 3135 or 3235. The stem heights are a close enough match. This would require a few extra steps like a new set of hands, a 2824 movement holder, some dial anchoring mods, and a datewheel overlay (DWO) with Rolex fonts. The DW from the 3135/3235 can be used as a DWO on a 2824 with some work.
Thank you! I've read in a few spots that 2824-2 is instant date change which was I was asking.. is that not the case?

It is. I mentioned the 2836 because it's not uncommon for TDs (or factories) to mistake which clone ETA version a rep a actually has. With either clone ETA movement a rep you get has, you can swap in a correspnding gen. If you get one with a 2836, it will already have an instant date flip.
Also, I've gotten some A2824s in reps that have a very rapid date flip (like 5 minutes), which makes it tolerable for me at least. You should wait and see which movement you get and how it works before buying a replacement for it. But as good as the true clone 3135/3235s are nowadays, you could just get one of those and expect good longevity from it. Instant date flip OOTB.
I'm getting a good laugh out of this discussion. The Deep Sea Challenge has no calendar date function, so there is no date flip at all.
Here is the watch: Like I said, no date.

I have a few VS/VR reps I wear on weekends. They are okay but seem kinda tinny cranking around in there compared to my gen Rolexes (Rolexi?)
I daily wear a gen 126660 to work in the city - this is being driven about my concern getting mugged. If I did do this I'd want something as close to the real thing which would be an Elabore COSC movement I guess..

I think the question about the movement and date flip was regarding a 126660, not this monster.I'm getting a good laugh out of this discussion. The Deep Sea Challenge has no calendar date function, so there is no date flip at all.
