Rolex Deepsea D-Blue Sea Dweller - anything to know?
Discussion
I've never bought a premium watch (I've had a couple of Steinharts) but fancy a Rolex Deepsea blue and don't mind if it's not brand new as long as it's quite new and in excellent condition from somewhere reputable.
Are there any pitfalls or issues I should be aware of? Where is a good place to buy from? Does anyone here want to sell one and cut out the middle man?!
Thanks in advance.

Goldsmiths in Shrewsbury had one but it sold last week so I missed trying it on today. I think it will be too big for my wrist. My daily is a Steinhart Ocean One 39mm and that is spot on for my wrist and I really like it. The Deep Sea Blue would be a bling thing and I adore the styling.
If it wouldn't lose much value I could justify it if for no other reason then to get the Rolex itch scratched for a while then sell it on.

As I said, this is a bling thing. I'm very satisfied with my 38 Steinhart ocean One which is a Submariner homage as a daily watch, it's perfect.
The Deep Sea is purely an itch scratch for a Rolex after recently inheriting a million quid and not wanting to be totally boring with the windfall, you only live once etc. It would be for high days and special occasions and I might wear it to work sometimes in a childish top trumps exercise in outgunning my young co-pilots with their large Brietlings and what not.
Plus I just think the Blue faced ones are beautiful.

If it's for showing off, wanting a bit of bling, and rubbing in the face of colleagues to make sure they know you have more money than them... then there are many watches that are nicer the Deepsea, and also a lot more wearable. As others have said, it's a really big lump of a watch, and unless you are the size of a grizzly bear, you will certainly feel that heft on your wrist, struggle to put it under shirt cuffs, and so on.
I do like the Deepsea, so much so that I went and tried one on, only to feel a bit silly. It was huge.
I would be buying a GMT or Sub and enjoying wearing it daily/regularly as intended. It will be far more practical and wearable, better looking (IMO), and anyone who knows watches will see it as far more bling/flash/expensive than a Deepsea.

Don't want to wear the watch daily as my home life is running a farm. The faint silliness of the Deepsea is the appeal.
Omega is nice but I'd always be thinking it's like sitting in a boxster at the lights with a 911 next to you. The boxster is likely better for less but you know,.
