Picked up a DSSD Blue - wow

This one has always intrigued me; my AD got one in and I took the plunge!

This piece may not be for everyone but I've gotta say, wow. The dial is stunning and it really feels like a tank (in a good way). I'll post more thoughts after I've worn it daily for a week or so but first impressions are outstanding.

And of course, here are some pics! By the way, my wrist is a flat 6.75". As you can see, a top-down wrist shot is deceiving and almost always makes the watch look bigger vs. a normal side wrist shot.

looks great! I have been debating between the deep blue or the 50th, really like the way yours looks. I need to find an AD to try one on.

good luck with it.
