The Rolex Sea-Dweller DEEPSEA has hit the market last month, with the expected US$8,975 retail price. On the grey market commanded a price of US$15K. This did not last long, and it is now available for just over US$11K. Online reseller Swiss Luxury list the watch at US$11,295. Within two months from its release, the DEEPSEA commands a lower premium than the Milgauss 116400 GV that was released a year ago.The reason for the lower demand for the DEEPSEA is not too clear. Whether it is adundant supply or its release into a softer market due to the world wide financial crisis is not clear.
One thing for sure it this that is this watch does have a smaller market to cater too. The watch is huge. The watch has a 43mm case diameter, which is larger than the 40mm's ofits predecessor, the Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000. Adding even more to its girth is its tickness. The DEEPSEA is all of 18mm tall, which is much taller than the 14mm of the Sea-Dweller 4000 and the 13mm of the Rolex Submariner.
Just how big is this watch? This thread on The Rolex Forums has comparison shots of a DEEPSEA and a Submariner. Judge for yourself.
