Well Guys, The info on this E-Bay site I was looking at today (url: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-ROLEX-Mens-Sea- ... viewItemQQ)concrening DEEP Sea Dwellers is certainly differant than what any store I've seen in our forum, or any place else has said. The seller sure appears to be for real,& so does the info about the watch. So how long were we supposed to believe the new case was 43mm, not 45 ? I guess the rest is as we've been led to believe, but come on 3s don't look like 5s, do they? What if "they" told us Subs were 38mm, & we were buying 'em up like cold beer on a hot day ? Wouldn't we feel dumb, or lied to when we found out ? Yeah, if this was the only s*** in the game, no big deal, but could every Rep seller have made the same mistake ? Or are we considered to stupid to find out, or w/o options ? I thought youall should, & would like to know. If this wasn't a "secret" and it was just me that was unaware,......sorry. [smilie=cussing.gif] Check out the price of this BEAUTIFUL gen, damn that's a new Sportster!!!!! 8)

Re: "REAL" SPECS on THE NEW ROLEX MENS SEA DWELLER DEEPSEA WATCH

These types of things are why I get so frustrated. It's not 45. He probably got that number from measuring the CGs. And you should be doing your own resreach. Do you really think we believe it when they tell us that they're watch is a 1:1 Ultimate because they bought a 10k gen to tool with that they never can produce? Well some do but the point is don't ever rely solely on what the dealers tell you. 8)

Re: "REAL" SPECS on THE NEW ROLEX MENS SEA DWELLER DEEPSEA WATCH

Try reading all the advert not picking out what you think will cause drama!
particulaly where he says "The Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA has a 43 mm unidirectional bezel with a 60-minute graduated disc that allows the diver to precisely track his dive time"
Don't see the case hanging out under the bezel do you? Obviously he is including the CG in the measurment at 45mm same as the rep

Or you could check around to multiple sources to see what the truth is, mpacheco. Instead of just taking what one knucklehead on eBay says as gospel. :wink:

Re: "REAL" SPECS on THE NEW ROLEX MENS SEA DWELLER DEEPSEA WATCH

Yes as Hooli said use multiple resources. Preferably from someone who has actually put a caliper to it as well. The dealers certainly don't. If you read my reviews you will see I often show the measurements with and without CGs. And honestly the measurements with are the ones you should take into consideration when buying a watch. But just remember one thing. Don't expect perfection. A good example would be a YM. In gen form that is a 41mm watch. But in rep form it is 40mm. Why? Because it's easier to take an existing 40mm case and polish the topside rather than make new moulds. Just food for thought.

Re: "REAL" SPECS on THE NEW ROLEX MENS SEA DWELLER DEEPSEA WATCH


If you want some straight info, go to the Rolex website, or go to an AD.
...Getting infos infos from eBay is one of the stupidiest things you could do.

...as fakey said, take a caliper and measure the watch. none of the watches is measured considering the CGs, only the case wide, side to side.

Cheers,
Spirit.

HI ALL, SORRY I SNAPPED!!!! I GUESS, I just contributed a few bricks in the road to Hell, with my good intentions! pannyforme, thanks for lookin', & sharing a few good words w/ me. Fakey,thank you for your good advise on the subject, right is ....right. hooligan thanks for your time.too. Spirit, If I could put a real one in my hand, I probably would never have found this site, as I would have no interest in reps. I seems to have mistakenly thought the site I gave the URL for was the real deal, also I thought those specs were from the factory. Stupid???........T4d, you make me want to talk to you like Dan Akroid talked to Jane Curtain, Jane you....................! Anyway, you have a lot of balls saying I was looking to find Drama elsewhere to bring here? Are you nuts? Just asking because if you think I have to leave this site, or YOUR posts to find drama, you need to, at the least, THINK AGAIN! Sorry, if you are paranoid, but my initals Are M.J.P., not M.P., and to be clear, I have nothing bad to say about M.P., just making a clarification for you T4D. And AGAIN, to ALL, I was trying to look out for us at RWI, I will do more research before trying to do that again. Maybe I should have posted it on the "FLAME FREE ZONE". :) I sugest to T4d, pick your battles, you have enough heat on you, don't start on me. Acusing me of that crap was tottaly uncalled for.

Re: "REAL" SPECS on THE NEW ROLEX MENS SEA DWELLER DEEPSEA WATCH


Not saying too that you should take a caliper to an AD... lol :lol:
...But, take a visit to a Rolex Dealer on the nearby shopping mall there, it will be worth some look-over on the watches none the less.

You had your good intentions, nobody questioning that, mate, but eBay sellers not everytime use the same ways to post specs of what they´re selling, or nor are so trustful too. As many other places, that just don´t know exatly what they´re selling =)

...and even if you´re saying you can´t get your hands on one, who knows if you wouldn´t have interest in reps? There are alot of members here that own GENs and are still very interested in reps ;)
It´s a hobby afterall, and if you want, you can take that to another level...like a hobby should do.

Would you recess a insert on a GEN? or shave its CGs? ....Where all the fun would go? :lol:
Enjoy your ride

Cheers,
Spirit.

Re: "REAL" SPECS on THE NEW ROLEX MENS SEA DWELLER DEEPSEA WATCH

there has been a brand new one still in the plastic on the rolex forum for a week now @ 8,000.00 and it is being ignored. i am seeing them for 7,600.00 and not selling, they are way way over priced, many buyers are unhappy with them and trying to get rid of them. they are for sale everywhere.

i guess i should have been more specific by quoting your original post. you talked about how much the guy wanted for it, (10.150.00) and commented it was as much as a new sportster. i was showing they are readily available for much less money because they are not popular at all with the rolex crowd. the watch has been a sales failure for rolex.

HK45CA, Thanx for the clairification, I really didn't know what you were talking about. Well, to each his own, I guess ? I will let you all know how I feel, & think about mine when it gets here. I really like how it looks in photos. Will being a "sales failure for Rolex "make the gens (&, OR the reps) make them worth more in the future in your opinion ?

...Old news that the Yacht-Master II was the biggest watch made by Rolex since it´s release, but funny thing on it, is that the Yacht-Master II always was advertised by Rolex itself by being a 43mm watch. even on catalogs.
Now this? ....Rolex advertising the YM-II as a 44m watch? What´s this...

I couldn´t help to say that these new features and browsing method of the Official Rolex Website is awesome...I really liked it.
...It´s a brand new design, must have been incorporated yesterday, since I checked the Rolex site on friday, and it was yet the old one, I guess...

Very nice, but makes me get even further away the Yacht-Master II ... lol

Cheers,
Spirit.
