This is Watch Your Style.
My name's Eric.
Today, I'm going to do a review for you guys on another watch that's very similar to the
Batman in the sense that it's a special edition and has caused a little bit of a commotion
as far as me as a dealer trying to get these pieces for the demand of the customers.
But, that watch is the Rolex Deepsea Blue.
Now, this watch in particular has a couple of different names.
Yes, it's a Rolex Deepsea, but it's also a Rolex Sea-Dweller, so the biggest thing is
that it's not just a regular Deepsea, but it's a Deep-blue Sea.
I don't know anymore.
I mean, there's just so many different names.
Some call me and say, �Hey, Eric.
Do you have the Rolex Deepsea James Cameron Edition?� But, you know, that one's actually
not too far fetched because the watch was introduced to commemorate a deep dive that
James Cameron did, but overall, we're just going to go ahead and we're going to call
it �the Rolex Deepsea Blue.� At least from now on, that's the name I'm going to
focus on.
So, the Rolex Deepsea Blue is the watch that pretty much has...it's exactly like the standard
Deepsea and...I have mixed emotions about the Deepsea Sea-Dweller just because I've
owned one myself.
I'll never forget the day I saw at the AD what appeared to be a Submariner that took
more steroids than Brock Lesnar.
Initially, when I saw it, I said...I almost had the same reaction when I saw the 41mm
Day-Date II.
I just wasn't sure if my mind was playing tricks on me, but, initially I saw it and
I kind of fell in love with it.
That was right around the hype when watches started to be more popular in a bigger size.
I bought one and I feel like it was a mistake, specially because I traded an LV Sub that
was in crispy cream condition for it.
And I liked it in the beginning, but then I kind of fell like it was a little bit uncomfortable.
So that's that one thing I'm going to go ahead and say about the Deepsea and I tell everyone
very upfront.
The Deepsea watch is not for everybody.
You have to try it on and see if it fits your wrist and also if the weight it's going to
be a problem.
I know many people that I've sold one to and are very happy with it and wouldn't change
it for nothing in the world.
Other than that, this watch is exactly the same.
It's pretty much a very extreme dive watch that can handle depths up to 12,800 feet.
Unless you're a real deal welder for an oil rig company, I just don't see anybody using
it that much.
It's more of just a novelty thing, you know?
It's got the helium escape valve on the side of the case.
Those types of things, so this is really one of the most tool watches that Rolex has.
It really it's got a lot of signs of engineering behind it.
But overall, besides all of that, the only difference with this model being the Deep-blue
Sea model, Deepsea Blue model.
Whatever we're going to call it again....is just the dial.
That's the only difference.
It's got this really nice...because I like it...really nice, interesting looking dial
that fades from blue to black...obviously signifying the whole ocean depth thing.
But one major change that it has is that Deepsea...the word �Deepsea� was changed from the 12
o'clock position to the 6 o'clock.
And, I know it might sound kind of stupid and childish, but the one thing that really
I like about this watch is that neon green, yellow color that they chose for the word
�Deepsea.� For me, that's that one thing that just kind of pops and grabs my attention,
you know?
I like that about the watch.
It instantly grabs my eye and that was also the same color as the Submariner that James
Cameron used during his Deep sea dive.
So, it's a 44mm case and one thing that I want to tell you that, for example, the Yacht-Master
II is a 44mm case, but it wears very comfortable.
The difference is the Deepsea is very tall.
When you look at it on the side of your wrist, it sits very tall, so that's something you
might want to consider.
If you have a large wrist, 8 inches and above, it's going to suit you better, because of
the way that the bracelet is going to sit on your wrist, it's going to kind of help
that look of it being too tall.
When you gotta small wrist, it's going to look really tall, you know?
But, overall it's still a Rolex.
Very dependable.
It's got pretty much basically a Submariner movement inside, but this is a watch that
has also demanded...it's got a cult following.
This is a watch that could possibly be a very good collection in the future.
For me right now, I'm not sure about it yet.
I'm on the fence.
Let's keep in mind that a standard Deepsea Seadweller sells for an average of around
$7,500 to $8,000 pre-owned.
It's gone down a little bit, the demand and stuff.
The price is really what would allow me as a salesman to be able to sell these types
of watches.
But the difference is that the Deep-blue Sea it's going to cost you pre-owned $11,500.
Now, that's a lot of money.
Not a lot of money, but a big, big difference for just the dial, so you kind of want to
look at it really good and see if you really want to pay that much for the dial.
I don't have a crystal ball, if not I would play the Lotto and gamble in the stock market
heavily, but it might go up in value, but for right now, we don't know.
I guess my biggest fear is that the Deepsea James Cameron is gonna one day maybe just
be worth a couple grand more than the regular one.
We don't know.
For the most part, I do know that it's limited production type watch that's no longer being
produced from what I've heard.
If you've heard otherwise, please feel free to drop a comment and enlighten me.
It's something that right now it's believe it or not, they're not easy to find.
This is a watch that's not easy to locate right now.
I've gotten several requests for it.
I have sold a few, but at times I find it very challenging to find.
So, as far as the Watch Game goes, for the Rolex Deepsea Blue, I definitely see it way
higher a notch in the Watch Game than a standard Rolex Deepsea.
Nothing wrong with the Deepsea guys.
I'm just saying...I see it, the standard Deepsea, it's kind of right there with like a Submariner
or something of that nature.
The Deepsea Blue obviously puts you on a higher status.
You gotta have literally balls to pay so much more over the standard one for the dial and
at least me, that deserves credit in my book.
You will get some extra points from me for stretching the extra dollars and getting the
Deep Blue Sea.
And I think it's a fantastic watch if you're a real collector and you want something different.
The chances of having a Rolex Deepsea Blue on and another person walking up with one,
it's very unlikely.
So, it's a really nice watch to wear daily and it's something special.
And when we start getting into collecting watches and stuff like that, that's kind of
the things that puts certain pieces and separate them from others...is, availability, how hard
is it to get it and if it's something special.
