None, too big and heavy for my tastes

Always thought Rolex missed an opportunity with the DeepSea 'Blue' most of the photoshop mock ups were better than what was actually released!

The green font is the biggest turn off for me!

That said the black DSSD is my favourite watch & nearly 3 years in with it and its not going anywhere! built like a tank it really is unlike any other Rolex, & thats probably why the purists loath it! me... I love it!

lovely watch,and I agree with your thoughts but if , like me, you have girly wrists (you don't BTW) then it looks a bit too chunky.

The Deep Sea looked ridiculously big on my wrist. Went for the Se Dweller 4000 instead.

Snap. Was all set on the Deepsea until I tried it on ... it just didn't sit right and felt too high. The SD 4000 had just been released so tried that on and knew I had to have it.

I can see why it is a marmite watch the DSSD, it is big and heavy. I've had mine nearly 3 years and absolutely love it. It just feels so well engineered and a lot more special (to me) than say a Daytona. There will be plenty who disagree I am sure and that's absolutely fine, no right or wrong answer.

To answer the OP I prefer the standard black version which I think is unchanged since its release.

I tried one on and it looked underwhelming on my wrist, I think it needs a chunkier strap, I'm quite a big guy though.

Been my daily wearer for 6 years now and never tire of it, usually worn on a RubberB , super bombproof watch as long as you can carry off the slightly larger case

Collected mine today. Replacement for sub date. First impression? Very happy with the change. Don't find it particularly over-large or the bracelet to be inadequate. Definitely think it'll be as popular a daily wearer as the n-d sub it sleeps beside in the box.

There are only two DS: the DBlue and the standard black dial. I have the latter and love it to bits. The blue one looked s but cheap to me. They seem to be on sale used at prices higher than full new RRP black dial. Weird.
