Who owns a Deep Sea?
I am thinking of adding a Deep Sea to the lineup..I don't have a large wrist but Darren is trying to talk me into getting one..He says I will think my other Rolex's will feel like ladies Datejusts after wearing the Deep Sea..
Anyone have one?

i think the bracelet looks too small. as far as i know, they didn't increase the width of the lugs or thickness of the bracelet. my buddy tried one on, hoping he would like it enought to replace his original SD, and decided to go with a PAM.

Mark, try it on before you buy it. I liked it a lot, tried it on and it just didn't work. The bracelet is a little too puny for such a watch. It sits up on your wrist substantially. Cool watch, but does not work on smaller wrists with the current bracelet. I think it would be badass on a NATO though.

Even though I slammed it pretty hard in the past, I have one - but I am on the fence about actually liking it. I contemplated for a month before I pulled the trigger, but it wasn't until I tried on my old Submariner again that I started having second thoughts. It's VERY thick. Even more so on my small wrists, and the bracelet is not proportional to the head.
I also have a Breitling Bentley that is slightly larger (44 mm) and around the same thickness, but the Deep Sea feels and looks wayyyy thicker because of the odd proportions.
Love the ceramic on it though. Whenever I run out of things to do during the day, I try to scratch it with my key and fail every time.
To tell you the truth, I am thinking about trading it for a Pam Radiomir.
