It looks like a custom watch some guy had made. Not impressed by it.

The color and placement of "DEEPSEA" kills it for me.

They're making an already bold watch, even bolder.

I don't like the DEEPSEA font size or color.

And not a super fan of the blue to black transition.... but I'll have to look at it in person.

Is half the dial black? Or is that just in the pictures to show the range of colours the dial produces?

It's blue that fades to black - a basic gradient to signify the drop down into the depths by Cameron.
Personally I don't like it - would have preferred a subtle sunburst blue/black dial.

Blue to Black gradients remind me of all websites from 2001 :rolleyes:

Blue to blank transition, top to bottom. Like sinking to the bottom of the sea they say....

How incredibly blah of an unveiling. Aside from just plain ugly, I was hoping for something a bit more exciting. Oh well, it's too damn big anyhow no matter what they did with it so I'm out.....unless it was Ti maybe. :)

I think it will look great on a Rubber B. Especially if they make a blue Rubber B for it. Deepseaweed FTW.

I'm in if I can have it with genuine Rolex water droplet on the side of the case.

So does the bezel have any blue like BLNR?

I kind of like it. Blue Isofrane FTW.
