I understand why people hate it but I think that SG Deepsea is magnificent. Now I'm not saying I'd buy one nor wear it but as a thing it's ace!
Not sure what all the grumbling is about to be honest.
A gold Deepsea, so what? It's really no different in principle than a gold Sub. They won't sell you one anyway, so don't worry about it.
As for the general disappointment, isn't the slow changing constant catalogue of classics always the Rolex way? A new iteration of the GMT with some gold stuff on the side seems about right.
