Hello TRFers, i am in sort of a dilemma of choosing a daily beater already have a sub and some people know my situation with it

ill probably be exiled and viewed as a witch for what i did with it. For my daily beater i dont mind about the size of the watch or the weight too much, If you have other suggestions feel free to post it but make sure its in a similar price range.

I think the DS looks better on your wrist.

nick c · 11 September 2015, 09:36 PM

For more comfortable wear I will go Pam 305 good luck inshallah

Thanks bro i am thinking about putting a rubber B strap on the deep sea, i tried the 305 a few times but my only doubt is the bezel and i dont like the 389 for some reason

SearChart · 11 September 2015, 09:46 PM

Lets make the choice even harder, SD4000

Muzz · 11 September 2015, 11:43 PM

Tough one!! The PAM is more casual and very comfortable. The DSSD is quite large and takes longer to get use to.

crfsocal · 11 September 2015, 11:48 PM

Those are some expensive daily beaters :)

I agree with SearChart throw in the SD4k as an option.

Already have a sub that I might trade in for one of these

The Pam looks uncomfortable as hell with that giant wing hanging off the side.

I would go SD4K.

Clearly you have not tried one. PAM's are comfortable. I own two in my rotation.

bkertzer89 · 11 September 2015, 11:50 PM

deepsea FTW

gummy · 12 September 2015, 12:02 AM

I voted DSSD...but honestly the 305 looks really good on your wrist!

I would pick them both up pre owned! Plus then you won't feel bad wearing them as beaters

superbry · 12 September 2015, 12:05 AM

sd4k. I have a dssd and its top heavy and thick for daily use.

RollyFan98012 · 12 September 2015, 12:06 AM

Go with the DSSD! Coming from someone who originally brought the deep sea as my one and only daily. For two months last year I owned and wore a PAM364 as my daily and went back to the DSSD as my daily. Also wears very comfortable on a Rubber B.

DS is quiet heavy and thick. I find it inevitable as a DD.. Not sure about the 305 though

Yeah that's what I am thinking it's not an everyday watch and I actually want one to wear the whole day

PAM 305 All day!!

tkerrmd · 12 September 2015, 03:39 AM

both cool watches, but with the adjustable bracelet on the DSSD it for the win, adjusted correctly it is very comfortable and was my daily for several years...

Ed Rooney · 12 September 2015, 03:46 AM

I tried on a Deepsea the other day, and as much as I have mocked and denigrated that model, I LOVED IT.

I might have a problem.....

RGP · 12 September 2015, 03:55 AM

You are quite blessed to refer to either as a daily beater. They are both beautiful watches.

jjnd08 · 12 September 2015, 04:52 AM

Pam.

Not a fan of the DS.

What about a used AP Diver?

Not as a daily beater but as a daily watch a watch I could do a lot of things with I wouldn't do with another delicate watch these are really tough watches.

No James Cameron? That watch is beautiful with the way the black blends into the blue.

Not sure why don't get me wrong I would rather get the normal dial for everyday use even though I love the JC

Tough call.
I tried on the 305 the other day, and it's a really cool watch. Too big for my wrist, but looks great on you. I'm not the biggest fan of skeleton hands, though.

You'll probably be happy with either, but the DSSD may be a little more versatile, and would serve in place of your SubC.

Gerry62 · 12 September 2015, 06:25 AM

but my 305 It was sold

beachbum · 12 September 2015, 06:52 AM

I've owned both and the 305 was a lot more comfortable than I expected. The titanium makes it extremely comfortable on the wrist for a watch of that size. Can't lose either way the 305 can be had much cheaper as well.
Good luck
