Some interesting information posted on another forum regarding the DSSD,
CREDIT PHILLIP,
As Roger mentioned it recently in a post, Rolex is still delivering watches to COMEX.
In fact the collaboration in between these 2 companies never stopped unlike what has been written
here and there.
The new Deep-Sea is certified 3 900 meters but in fact most of the tests took place at 4 500 meters
in collaboration with COMEX in a chamber specially designed by COMEX for the watch.
The watch has also been tested in water and not only the hyperbaric way. It is is said that the watch reached once 5000 meters.
This success is partly due to the ring lock system that is made with a mix of 904L steel boosted with azote, I dont know yet the name given
by Rolex for this new registered steell.
The watch is scheduled for august 2008 in your AD's and the price (I'm giving the official Swiss price
so anyone can translate in his own money) will be 9 700 CHF.
