Sea dweller vs Deepsea vs Submariner. 

Now those are 16 minutes of pure joy and useful information. Love this format of videos. I own the 3 watches, love them all. For my 16.5 cm wrists the sub is the way to go. Sometimes I enjoy the James Cameron but for few hours only. On your large wrists, the James Cameron look phenomenal

SD 43 is the best watch I’ve ever worn. Fits perfect for a 7 and 3/4” wrist

The trick with the Deapsea is to just have it tight against your wrist. Mine doesn't budge. Yes it's still kind of top heavy but it doesn't move. I absolutely love this watch and I can wear it all day with no problem.

love these table top vids from you, happy you brought one back!

This video is so helpful and answers all the questions I have. Thank you.

Excellent topic, im a Rolex dive watch fan, so I went into my AD and tried on all three of these, ended up waiting for but now have got my new 44mm Deep Sea Sea Dweller, so happy with the size, weight and the micro adjustment in the strap. Its big, not everyone wants that, but a Sub was just too small

Great video production as always! And a great comparison as well

Love your reviews. Great to see you back at your desk. Getting a little tired of walking around Venice.

Very good comparison video! Thank you!

My Mk1 Deepsea has been the best daily wearer I've ever owned. You soon get used to the size and weight. I love my Submariner, but for me the Deepsea is the real tool watch.

Incredible video as usual. Great comparison of of 3 amazing timepieces but the sub in my opinion is just perfect!

I would take the no date Sub over the other two all day. The 124060 is the best watch in their total line up imho and has been for some time. . Ticks so many boxes at a relatively affordable price by Rolex standards. Proper tool watch. Aesthetically pleasing without the cyclops. Elegant. Simply timeless.

SD43 All the way love these style of videos hands on comparison 🙌

That was great! I have the SD43 126600 and the DSSD 126660 Black Dial - love them both and rotate them every 2 days to mix it up. Enjoy!

Enjoyed the comparison vid, thanks. ⌚😎🤙

Very pretty comparison. Now it’s all crystal clear. Merci beaucoup!

Great little video there Oisin! Thank you 😊 My first Rolex is the James Cameron, bought earlier this year from my local dealer. As a guy that likes to fly under the radar not ideal! 😂 But what a watch!! The dial is stunning, I have fairly hefty wrists 7.5” or so and I think it’s fits rather well.

Very helpful! Thank you! I've owned the black dial DSSD, but found it just too thick. Also did not like the crystal distortion. I'm sitting with SD43 on as I write this. I would agree that for those of us with little larger wrists, the SD43 is the right one. I do appreciate the cleaner Sub bezel, but not a deal-breaker. The one thing I would love to do is to retro-fit the DSSD clasp onto the SD43 bracelet. Being able to make the on-the-fly adjustment without having to take the watch off was heaven while I had the DSSD.

Great video. So much useful info. Many thanks, Chris :)

Nice update to the intro. Keep up the great work!

Great video. Nice work. Beautiful watches. Love the Sea Dweller.

Usually I am not drawn towards Rolex but that dial of the Deepsea shading from blue to black is just gorgeous! Anyway I expected it to be heavier than the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph from 2009 I just have on my wrist. Just checked its weight: 243g. It doesn't always look perfect on my wrist but fortunately it is wide enough that it still works. For me tool watches are allowed to be chunky and heavy.

I have tried SD43 and DSSD 126660 in the store and both watches wear big for my 6.5inch wrist. However, I am not bothered by the size at all -- I accept the size for what it is and do not expect them to wear like dressy watches. Pulled the trigger on the DSSD JC due to its dial and domed crystal are very unique and interesting to look at. Not to mention its amazing clasp, it is so easy to make quick adjustments on the fly with just one hand, and I wish Rolex could put the same adjustment system on every one of their watches. Its definitely one of those watches that has to be wore above the wrist bone with a tighter fit. I find that the case back would stick to my skin pretty quickly once I put it on, it would not flop or move around at all once the bracelet is properly fitted. And thanks to the amazing adjustment system in the clasp, getting a perfect fit isn't difficult.

Nicely done sir - thank you 🙏

Great video! Please give us more if this content, Oisin. Thank you!

Great job man. Reminds of the old days talking Rolex. Really great comparisons and fun. Cheers

Very nice comparison. Thank you.

Just saw your video. Great comparison. Direct and to the point. A nice coincidence since I took delivery of my SD just yesterday from my AD. I’m able to relate to everything u mentioned. Was offered a choice between the Sub or the SD. AGREE 100% that the SD is perfect for those with slightly larger wrist. Beside that, I personally like to feel the heft of a watch on my wrist. Call me weird 😂. Keep up the good 👍 work.

great comparison video all amazing watches , love my 124060 the no date dial just looks so clean and my grail watch

Love them all. Wish I had bigger wrists so I could wear the SD43, it feels way more unique than a sub

Nice video, thanks for sharing

Incredible video :D

great post. thank you!

Very nice little comparison C thanks Oisin. For me, the SD43 is the closest thing to perfection on my 7.2in wrist. The Sub is nice but a little bit underwhelming to me. The Deepsea is not for me. I find the dial too small for the case, the ringlock is an eyesore, bracelet too narrow, gradient dial so-so and the whole thing just looks clunky to me. I find other extreme divers much better looking, like the Omega Ultra Deep and the Breitling Seawolf, for example.

"A lot of us are desk divers" 😂😂😂 Mate you really know how to hit the nail. :D

I've tried on all these watches as well. With a 7.5" wrist I could wear either the Sub or the SD43 but I prefer the slightly larger SD43 with the red text on the dial. Not mentioned in the vid, the new sub has full AR coating while the SD43 only has it under the cyclops. More reflection for sure, something to know if that bothers you.

I have the SD4K variant, small production of 18 months, perfect case size. Great on the wrist.

Very informative presentation

Great video! The DeepSea 116660 is actually a 21mm lug width.

I've had my SD50 for a a month now. Absolutely love it

I’m a fan of the no date sub, saving to pick one up, can’t wait. No date Rolex are my favorite.

I rock a 116660 Deep Sea most days, I have a 7 3/4" wrist, I also have a TAG Aquaracer 42mm and an Omega Speedmaster Professional, the Deep Sea is my fav wear.....It took a few days wearing the Deep Sea when I first got it to understand how to wear it, the glidelock is your friend, I found I do wear it a little tighter than my other watches as it is a substantial chunky piece, but I do absolutely love it, I like the bold look, but understand others may not necessarily like that....For me I don't like the way Submariners wear on my wrist, it feels too small to me as do the GMT's (sadly as I'd love a two tone GMT), I did try a few different models of Rolex dive watches before settling on the Deep Sea 116660....Nice review, I enjoyed that.

great comparison!

The Deep Sea 126660 fits me perfectly and is a truly special watch in my view. It wears more comfortably than any other watch I've owned. I don't know what kind of engineering went into the wearing experience, but it's incredible. If you're on the fence due to the specs or others' opinions, give it a chance and see what you think.

I'll take a Sea-Dweller, thanks! 😂

thanks for this!

Had them, sold the Sub and the SD 43. The Deep Sea is by far the best of all them. It’s the ultimate diving watch 👌🏻

Excellent video!

Brilliant video

SD43 single red is an amazing watch even on a small rest.... best tool watch ever

The Submariner is the cool watch.

SD43 comes with a divers extension in the bracelet that you didn’t mention. Most people have it removed it seems . Great vid thanks

Great review

great review, the best ever.

Never could’ve pulled off the Sub, I’m way too large and tall, thank God Rolex brought out the Sea Dwellers and Deep Seas 💪🏽

Fabulous video and watches…each to their own..for me its the Goldilocks. Now if only it had that blue/black dial…👌

Oisin: You're good at getting right into it and (while offering detail) just running thru the three model variations. Good job. "TV presenter par excellence"

The best comparison I've seen. It will change my purchase decision.

Yea…Baby, I’m wearing my Sea Dweller Red Text…. 50 Anniversary 126600 …… I love it …..better luminous indices than the old predecessor 16600 and with the updated bracelet…..what’s not to like. 👍👍👌👌😍 holds up nicely in the Hot Tube a depth of three feet. 😅🎉

Hi Oisin from Miami !!! I have a SD43 and I love it, sometimes I have the idea to get a sub as my vacation watch but when I see my SD43 I change my mind and I had and omega for that 😂

Just got the D-Blue 136660 it’s has been perfected with the subtle changes from its predecessors

Absolutely love the deepsea 👌

Awesome video , I love the submariner 41,no date , love the ergonomics and aesthetic on this beautiful time piece ,

Had the sd43 sold it .deepsea more comfortable on 7’5 wrist which surprised me and no cyclops distraction

My choice between the three would be the Sea Dweller. A real-spec diver, compared to the Sub (I find the newer version a bit boring tbh), and not a behemoth like the Deep Sea. That being said, I would take the Blancpain FF titanium over all three any day of the week.

Wow!! SD43 seems to be the “most” favorite. I love all 3.

Nice Rolexes, since this is a diver watch content, I thought I mentioned my Seiko LX Spring Drive diver black on black, I bought the latest 2023 LX this summer, I do not dive much but, when I do my girl really appreciate my new 2023 Seiko LX spring drive diver, my time down below is precise and timed accurately, thanks to my spring drive calibre. I like the big boy Rolex Bruh, bet my girl might appreciate that Rolex when prepare and plan for my dive hahaha.

Absolutely love my SD43.

Well detailed review.!! SD 43.!!!🥰👍…Thank you.!!

Love my sd43 mk1 dial ❤

I am so torn between a Sea-Dweller (126600) and a Deepsea (126660) to go with my black dial Explorer II (226570). I go back and forth and just can't decide! The SD seems to be the safer play and the DSSD seems to be the bolder play. I will have to watch this video a few more times. Thanks so much for putting it together Oisín!

well that was quite thorough sir Ush nice job. would be interesting for me to have you do a comparison of the Sub 5513, 14060, 114060, 124060's. maybe next video? most iconic model.

All great watches! ❤❤❤

Great information

Thanks , all the best from portlaoise, Sean

Love the circa 2020 old school style TWC episode today! ( but without the RayBans)

I wear a James Cameron deep sea 3 days a week, love it and weight is not an issue

Owned all 3 but now only have the SD43. Agree with you Oisin, it's the goldilocks model. The DSSD dimensions between case thickness and bracelet just look odd. The DSSD and SD43 wear better if the extension link is removed. The DSSD also works better on a rubber B strap.

Thanks for that video. I have a Doxa 1500T with a silver dial called Searambler I think you might like that watch. I wear that watch on my 71/4 in wrist.

I have owned all three. The SD43 is the one I still own.

Great stuff! - I heard this is the first Submariner to have internal AR coating.. definitely the way to go over none or outer.

Love it....thanks for the info as I am on "The Hunt"

Just got my SD 43 couple days ago. It's ceazy how nice it is. And I also have a tudor pelagos, whichI love.. . I went for the SD43 because it was available. The deap sea had a one and a half waiting line.. But honestly, if they'd had both watches in front of me, I don't know what I would've done.. deep down, thought, never more apropriate to say, I think the SD43 is the right watch. More versatile. Glad I wasn't force to chose.. Super happy with SD43,

The DSSD JC is absolute lush on a Rubber B Pacific Blue strap... Unlike with the SS bracelet the head feels glued to the wrist... and the shade of blue perfectly matches the blue in the dial.

SD43 is super cool. I love the bi metal. The Sub is obviously the better choice for your first or your everyday diver. They're all great. The Dwellers are fun. Jeans and a T or hoodie bangin around on the weekends.....Cool

Excellent presentation

The James Cameron dial is gorgeous

I have the new version of the SD43. I would have LOVED to have you put all three on, go to a bistro and then record the reactions of people as they looked! Double takes, wide eyes, disgust ..... probably every reaction you could imagine.

Hey Olsin, watched your live stream. Have a black date sub and happy with it. Have a 7.5 inch wrist and can pull all three of them, but love the color of the Sea Dweller, it's not the diameter, or the lug to lug, it's the girth and weight of the Sea Dweller. And agree, the Deep Sea would fit perfect. Still not worth trading up to me. Not a wunder lust person like some of our friends.

I just bought the SD43 MK1 and I’m absolutely excited for it to arrive this weekend. FYI, my wrist is 9.25” so I ordered 3 extra links.

Love your videos … what camera do you use ?

Oisin: I’m JayJay and I asked if you would do a video comparing the Sea Dweller 43 with the Deep Sea, thank you! I would love to see the Sea Dweller 43 and the Deep Sea in full titanium, they would be much more comfortable. ❤

Nice video

Thank you for this video. SD43 is my pick. Too many Subs and homages. SD43 is unique.

SD43 is my first and probably my last Rolex. Cheers

I got the James Cameron second generation.... I love that ⌚️...😎

own an enjoy both: a TT SD43, and the DS SD (not the James Cameron). I enjoy them both equally. My wrist is 7.375". Wearing the DS right now.

When you see Tiger Woods at press conferences or Jason Day, the Deepsea always looks better than golfers wearing 40 mm Subs......I ve worn em all, after all of what I mentioned, I would prefer the Double red Vintage Submarinet on an olongapo bracelet. Thanks for Video!!

The DEEPSEA SEA-DWELLER for me all the way. Rolex was never my cup of tea (too small for my taste) until I saw that Beast in 2011 on Liam Neeson's wrist in the movie Unknown. I've wanted one ever since. Had an opportunity a couple years later to get one that had been returned as "Buyer's Remorse" for $8,500 but dummy me, I passed on it.😢

The jc dial is awesome. if you have the wrist to pull it off, I say go for it.
