The Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 could become the next sleeping giant in the world of Rolex watches. Read on...
-------------------
What's up people? This is Eric Rivera here and I wanna talk to you about what I think right now could possibly be the biggest sleeper Rolex at the moment...and that is, the Sea-Dweller 4000.
So this is a special watch man. I mean, in the past before this ceramic era, they had the Sea-Dweller, the standard Sea-Dweller. This is the before the introduction of the Deepsea and all that.
What happens is they came out with the new ceramic version of this watch dubbed the “Sea-Dweller 4000.” That's what we all call it because of the 4000 feet rating.
The thing is is they didn't make a lot of them and you don't see a lot of them, but I feel like it kind of got swept under the rug the second that the Deepsea got released.
I mean, I myself just totally overlooked it for years. I mean, I knew it was out, but I wasn't really that hot into it. That was in the era when watches started to get a little bit super sized and it went to the Deepsea.
So the Deepsea came out, “Oh my God! It's a Submariner on steroids!” And whatever, I ended up trading my Kermit for it. Worst decision of my life. Still to this day it pisses me off, but whatever. I ended up buying that watch, realizing it's too big, but the thing is is I feel like since that watch came out and it made so much noise and it was just so different, I feel like the Sea-Dweller 4000 kind of just stayed behind. They stayed at the ADs, nobody really bought them, very slow moving piece even at that moment.
For the most part in general, you always sell about six or seven maybe even ten Submariners in the amount of time that you sell one of these watch, both in this version and the previous version.
The thing is is that now in recent times there's been a lot of increase in prices, all the sports models have been shooting up, but this is one of those ones that's been sleepy quiet there and no one's talked about. I've noticed that the prices right now are clearly at $11,000. This is a watch that was $7,000, maybe three or four years ago.
So it leaves me to think, is this the next sleeper watch from Rolex that's slowly sitting there behind? I mean, they didn't make it for too many years and they discontinued it and then of course, it's been overshadowed by the Sea-Dweller, then the Deep Blue Sea Sea-Dweller, and then now the release of the Anniversary Red Sea-Dweller.
This one's kind of falling behind in the back seat, but I just finally was able to get one in my hands because man I have not seen one in quite some time.
What originally sparked my interest was that out of nowhere, a friend of mine was trying to buy one and I looked on eBay and I noticed, man they're getting kind of expensive, you know? They used to be the same price or maybe about $500 or whatever more than a regular Sub, but because this watch is mainly such a limited run for not that amount of time, it leaves me to wonder, is it the next big thing that nobody knows about?
So let's talk a little bit about the watch. It's got the same dimensions overall as a regular Submariner, for the exception that the case is a little bit thicker, alright. It has a non cyclops glass on it and the dial also appears to have more of a matte finish than the standard Sub.
I kind of like that myself and as you could see in the past, this watches with matte dials tend to really kind of get more of a buzz, long haul at least, not saying every watch with a matte dial is special, but bracelet is the same. Other than that, it's just the standard Sea-Dweller with an escapement Helium valve on the side.
