Rolex Submariner vs Sea-Dweller vs Deepsea | Watchfinder & Co.

- A Rolex and the sea are like, well, a duck to water, the brand having kickstarted the entire dive watch legacy pretty much singlehandedly. As far as credentials go, there’s only one you need to know: a Rolex watch has been to the deepest part of the ocean and survived-and that was back in 1960. A watch literally cannot go any deeper than that. And so, Rolex dive watches have come to be heralded as the very best, and we’ve got three of them. But which is the best of the best?
Featured Watches:
Rolex Submariner 116610LN
Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600

Omega went to the moon, Rolex went to the bottom of the ocean and Timex went to my wrist.
Gabriel Praslin: Priceless - your Timex is my Casio. Bravo!
Omega beat the Rolex dive depth a while back...
;-)
@@jimmyjay122 too late though
hahahaha have a look at this buddy : th-cam.com/video/q4jCODd615Y/w-d-xo.html
I would like to know if any owner of these watches has taken it below 4m.
BLITZKRIEG Most would take their watches off and put on bedside table before shaving, let alone in 4m of water 😉
BLITZKRIEG mine go in the bath with me does that count?
I have a Sub and I take it off before I have a shower.... 8(
Maybe 4mm
Have a couple hundred dives (max 40m) on my 1998 Submariner. Used to be my one and only watch for about 10 years, now I wear it mainly when I go diving. Not that I need it (dive computer does a better job) but because of the good all times (21 years now) and the way it feels to have it back on my wrist 😀
-Rolex dive watches get tones of views which one should we do a video about?
-Yes.
I went from the Submariner to the Seadweller simply because I went from showering to bathing. I can wholeheartedly state that the Seadweller hasn’t let me down yet 👍🏻
Comedy's tough slick
That’s some pretty intense sea dwelling you’re doing there
Amazing
I think showering is not suggested because steam particles can still go inside the watch
Yea they dont break
My father worked on submarines for the US Navy, during ww2, and I have his Rolex from those days. The seals were made of lead, at that time.
That’s so awesome. Make sure that stays in your family forever
Ballast
Got my grandfathers their worth big money
@@slh7808 Yeah, ballast. You got a problem with that, Ned Land?
I've been diving for 30 years and I have never had any reason to use a dive watch, they've been obsolete since '83 or '84 when usable, reliable dive computers came about. These are just fashion accessories now.
one does not buy a ferrari over lambo just keeping BHP in mind.
It’s like going flying with a map and slide rule and not an iPad. Nevertheless they are lovely objects
Commercial divers are required to use one.
Dive computers fail from time to time. Do you REALLY want to be down at 150 feet without a backup plan when it happens?
@mirror talk they usually treat the watches as disposable and use seikos.
Awesome comparison video well made like always! Thank you for posting and keep them coming
The bracelet’s guidelock on the Deepsea is truly fantastic, so easy to adjust, and when travelling facilitates easy/quick adjustments for expanstion of the wrist that’s enevitable at high altitudes or going from cold to hot/hot to cold climates. Definitely the main feature of the watch that’s indigenous to the deepsea that’s rarely called out but yet so innovative, reliable, easy to use and useful/practical. Love it !!
Great video, great channel, great presentations in all you do, well done.
Hey guys. Not sure I should admit to this, but I own a DSSD and I don’t baby it - at all. I’ve taken it diving - both desk and ocean - running, mountain biking, camping. It’s my everyday watch and by that I don’t mean to sound snobby or anything - it took me a while to save up for it and I enjoy wearing a lot because it makes me smile.
My philosophy is if you’re going to spend your hard earned cash on a watch that has amazing build quality and you love it, why not enjoy as much as you can? Isn’t that the point of owning these time pieces? Because they make us happy; they pull at our heartstrings?
And just to be clear and safe, I bought an insurance policy on my DSSD because, hey, you never know...
Cool, they look amazing. My biggest problem with Subs are they're always just flopping around on your wrist when you're in motion. My fitness tracking watches are all aluminum and fit snug with a stretchy rubber band.
Why would you not want to admit using your Deepsea as a daily beater?? That’s what I use mine for. I’ll never use the 12,000ft but I love the over engineering of the watch
Thanks Ed! I too love the over engineering with it as well, not to mention, relative to my wrists and hands, it looks like a thicker Submariner. It’s been through a lot and just keeps on ticking - averaging about +1.6 seconds a day per 90 days when I measure it. One great watch!
Cool story
Omg fair play. At last a normal person who enjoys an amazing and incredibly engineered timepiece and doesn't just hide it away in a safe.
Good on you. Enjoy your watch in good health my friend .
1:08 'It's the whole story that tells the whole story..' thanks for clearing that up. :)
I read the comments here and as always with the subject Rolex, there are the different fan groups. I am happy that Rolex, Omega and others make great watches. I worked for one of the groups and I can tell you, that the atmosphere was always that of a lot of respect for each other and the products. A gentleman's rivalry. It was also this sporty rivalry that gave the world some of the best watches.
Don't forget the Blancpain fifty fathoms, the original dive watch.
Excellent as always 👍👍
I have a Sea Dweller, I was told I wont be able to compare the few watches I wanted , made the right choice ,still love it, after 15 years, just had it serviced , comes back like a new one .
I love how this guy's wrist can actually pull off a DSSD
It doesn’t matter if you go diving with your dive watch or not. If you like the style and you want an over engineered daily beater with a 1 hour timer, get a dive watch. Oh and you can go diving too....
Or get a GMT and stick to snorkelling.
What an interesting review really enjoyed it.and I still love my sub after 23 years on my wrist. Watchfinder give the far best reviews. Keep up the good work.
Now you need to mention Omegas new Planet Ocean Ultra Deep.
Omega is in the conversation with Casio, not Rolex. Get real.

@@locutusdborg126 GET BENT
@@locutusdborg126 lol loser
Locutus D'Borg seriously? Fuck outta here
So happy that you mentioned the crown problem, it’s happened to mine
I have the JC DS and Sub and love them both. However my Rolex batman with jubilee strap is the favourite.
I love that intro music. I can't get enough of it.
You are by far the best watch storyteller in the world. Thanks for sharing! Although I wonder... would you recommend some books about these stories? I have no idea where to begin looking.
Awesome thank you
I was told that Blancpains 50 fathoms was the watch that started the dive watch craze & Rolex copied that? Don't know who to believe now!
Exceptional video. Tons of knowledge - thank you for all your hard work! Pat
Thrilling story ! Exciting waches ! Valuable video !
Great video!
Wow awesome production!
Did we overlook something of this Rolex Submariner history? Blancpain anyone?
Cedar Canoe i agree blancpain came to my mind too
Considering they established what dive watches look like, it's odd he didn't mention it.
What does Blancpain have to do with it?
May I know what lenses you use for this video?
My very first proper watch was a Rolex. And bought two others since then. Of course i have other makes but for running amuck i use my rolex.
Please review Christopher Ward SH21 movement!
I would love to own a sub or gmt master some day😍
Excellent Presentation & history.
One minute in and you’ve absolutely captivated the audience. Your content is always so well put together
I bought a 2002 Sea-Dweller for two reasons. One, I wanted a Sub with a date. Two, I wanted a Sub date but no date bubble.
Same model I have
...but the date bubble finishes off "the look".
You can get the crystal replaced without a cyclops. It’ll cost a few hundred bucks. Just saying.
@@omonteso if you're that desperate, I'm pretty sure you can chisel it off. It's glued on.
@@omonteso and actually, to my limited knowledge, Rolex won't do anything to your watch that isn't original.
While not nearly a sexy you shouldn't forget that the helium escape valve was developed with Doxa and while Rolex focused on professional dive pieces Doxa released their timepiece to the masses. And then there was the quartz crisis and to the Victor go the spoils.
Your videos are absolutely incredible.
I have a Sea-Dweller (1665) which was my 21st birthday present from my parents in 1977. I also have a GMT II (116710LN) - luxury purchase 10 years ago. I have some diving in the past (recreational stuff and used a Citizen Promaster Diver - didn’t want to scratch the Sea-Dweller ! )
Strange they bought me a Rolex as my Father was an Omega man, wearing the watch he was issued when he was in the Fleet Airarm (WWII) every day until his death in 2014 . (This watch was apparently ‘well worn’ so he had it serviced and recased, keeping the original white face, in 1956 by Dennison - done ‘privately’, after all, it was ‘his watch’ !) I am its custodian now - a prized possession !!
I love your videos but omega just went way deeper. How did you miss that?
Can you review IWC Big Ingenieur 7days iw500505?
My dweller has done thousands of dives.
Nothing deep. Most of the time 50-120ft dives. Has done the job for the last 20 years.
This video genuinely was an absolute masterpiece. Keep up the amazing work guys!
Beautiful สวยงามมากครับ
I love watches. Although I cannot justify spending this kind of money on a time piece, I appreciate them more than perhaps someone with means who could own several watches like these Rolex diving watches. However, except for the original Sea Master the other two 'upgrades' were way too thick for daily use imho, but I am sure they would both make great diving watches for the affluent.
Sub is 40mm, Sea Dweller 40-43, DeepSea 44mm. Some people like me like their watches big. After 200m the pressure will start squishing your body anyway.
yeah, most people are not gonna take the sea-dweller 1k meters underwater
I like them big, but not so much thick.
@@xpusostomos please don't comment again
@@winterwarden please STFU
Love how the first macro shot already shows poor QC. Honestly, how is it that the printing on SKX is sharper than this under a macro lens?
Seiko SKX > Rolex shoddy finishing.
I had a Rolex 114060 with splotchy and uneven lume. Contacted Rolex since it was under warranty and Rolex claimed this poor quality was within their specifications and nothing will be done about it. A bloody joke. It’s a brand hyped up to crazy levels by social media. They are decent watches but no where worth the prices people are asking for them now.
Only gay ass Seiko bois try to compare their watches to Rolex lol
Great video, very informative but I thought Omega held the record of a watch going deepest under water with the Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional?
Yes, recently broke Rolex' record by going to a deeper part of the trench.
I have a Deep Sea and I like it. But I wish I had kept my Submariner though. Now however I mainly wear a Longines HydroConquest chronograph automatic. Or a Omega Automatic chronograph Seamaster . I mainly have dive watch because I am a professional diver. The Deep-Sea is a watch I will never max out in anyway . For most of my diving 200m is more then adequate. Another watch I had which was a great dive watch was the Seiko SLD005 scubamaster .
Pretty cool you actually use all these watches like they are intended. I don’t dive but I went snorkeling for the first time a few months ago in Hawaii with my seamaster on it was a pretty cool experience to look at a sea turtle and then do a wrist check
What is this music ? Thks...
Which of the 2 keep their prices if you buy one
How come the deep sea doesn’t have the date magnifier? I can barely read the date!
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms? We just ignore them now or what?
IKR!
Today's Blancpain is just not the same as the original Blancpain.
here th-cam.com/video/_gdJloKiZ4s/w-d-xo.html and there th-cam.com/video/znk_eY-UBHc/w-d-xo.html
George Beckford the Submariner was sold to civilians and the Fifty Fathoms military only until ‘56 when Blancpain saw that the Submariner was selling well. The Fifty Fathoms may have been first but the Submariner made the dive watch popular.
@@AndrewMorganWatches Nice comeback kid lol. Rolex Schmolex.
I have one comes with box and everything where is the best place for me to sell it
nice
Blancpain 50 fathoms came first?? Excellent channel but we're getting fed up with constant Rolex adverts....
Steve Fox we love Rolex. There is no substitute.
@@jonathanland2218 to each their own, but not everyone likes them...variety is the spice of life 😉
I feel you Steve, watch world is a big and varied world but Rolex seem to suck a lot of oxygen out of the room.
@@kayoedowner6711 odd I thought it was a complaint, shame your whining about me complaining...
@@kayoedowner6711 I just think rolex get a disproportionate amount of airtime, given they've been spoken about so much we learn nothing new- there's other brands that deserve more coverage . Love the channel, but bored with bland rolex's.
5:00 I definitely heard you say “affordable”
Watches prices skyrocketed in the last 50 years. World war 1 pilots were issued Patek Philippes.
I remember on the watch forums all the Rolex fans in a major flap over the Deep Seas "massive" 44mm case, and all the Breitling and Seiko owners looking at their Superocean`s and "Tuna`s" wondering what the big deal was LOL
Yes but have they made one that can stop a bullet?
Like to see review of the hublot big bang chukker bag .
Rolex Deepsea: The only watch you can feel comfortable getting in a light mist
I dont know who you are, but I always watch your videos while I skip most other watchbox ones.
Need subjecte french please. Good job. Nice Chanel
My favourite watch video
My ideal Rolex is an Omega Planet Ocean. In fact, the Planet Ocean on my wrist right now. Kidding aside, the only reason I would want a Sub is because of James Bond. Connery was a huge Rolex guy, but I don't hold that against him.
Watchfinder: (about Rolex) "The brand having kickstarted the entire dive watch legacy pretty much single-handedly."
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms: "Am I a joke to you?"
Review Rolex Day Date Rose Gold 🧡💚
Yeah ..I got a daytona and a tudor and i think for me it is not practical anymore in our today economy I'm 60yrs old,leaning towards putting my$ in the bank.but i know there is a lot of beautiful time piece out there that will not break my bank so good luck guys.
Sea Dweller is much better, I'd love a Gmt batman, tried one on few yrs, at w.o.s in cardiff , cant get one now, did see a lush sea Dweller, deepsea in a 2nd hand jewellers last wknd, very tempting .
I’m not into watches enough to watch these videos. Im subscribed to your channel and watch these videos because your presentation is that damn good.
The biglyest star of all the big stars.
Love my Submariner no date. Got super lucky and got it new from my AD after only 2 days of waiting. Perfect size for my wrist. Sea Dweller is just too big for me
I could watch( no pun intended) the rolex b roll shoot for hours
I would seriously doubt most people even get these wet
Everyone wants it but few owns it. I want them all in my collections.
and then vostok made a watch with a rubber gasket that expands and an acrylic crystal that mashes into the case all for like 70 dollars
Isn't the watch too bulky to be supported by a wrist's compromised strength at 12,000 feet?
You should do a video on the 16610 submariner. You make the best watch videos
Most of the success of the Sub is that it's simply gorgeous. The Omega looked pretty meh.
Sub best Rolex till is day.
both are great watches
Just the job for snorkeling in
the Mediterranean! 😄 ha ha!
You buy the watch because it's
beautifully made and designed.
I don't wear my SeaMaster when
I snorkel (I've got an original Seiko Tuna can from the 70's for that!)
I love the 'Deep Sea' - I will buy one
and enjoy just looking at it and
marvelling at the work that went into it.
I NEED an SD4000 116600!
So why didn't Rolex keep following that original path of providing great watches at reasonable prices, cheaper than competition?
The OMEGA Ultra Deep vs. ROLEX Deepsea Challenge
beautiful! sea dweller it is then....
The Quentin Wilson of the watch world.
The bulletproof cleanest looking Rolex sport watch 116600
Can you get the cyclops removed from the watch?
I think the deep sea is 15.4 mm thick, not FIFTY FOUR mm thick! Caught you in a rare slip. Brilliant comparison and compendium on the mark.
Ryem3 that was the “DeepSea Special.” A one time build for that special dive. Google it; it looks hilarious.
they're just fashion accessories now, dive computers completely obsolete them, but they're nice to look at.
Nice deep sea sea dweller MK2
What best buy . . .
I have 1 deepsea black dial i dont wear it why i bought it because it was the best 1 i suppose
There is one key issue with all those Rolex achievements. Just as Aegler made all Rolex movements (based mostly on Lemania ebauches), It was "one of Rolex case suppliers", who made Submariner and Seadweller cases. Rolex didn't make anything till 2004 . Unlike Omega, they haven't invented anything. Their Suppliers and Sub-contractors "were tasked" with combining exististing technology in particular watch case production..
Besides ... Blancpain 50 Fathoms and Omega Seamaster, actually predated Rolex Submariner.
I love my SeaDweller 4000!
How about the Grand Seiko Sports professional Diver watch 600meters plz
Good video/content. But, for ME, features MUCH more imporant to me is being able to read the time at a glance . Under most llight conditions/reflections...which means the watch MUST have an AR coating....which these watches added only recently Sea Dweller last year and the Sub
Love my sea dweller! Never even been in the rain, lol
I want to upgrade my sub to one of those and I can barely swim.
just as it should
Love my deepsea but they’ve sold me in this video, I want a sub and a sea dweller to go with it now 🤦🏻♂️
and then Voskok amphibia came along lol
