In this rare circumstance I would get the Omega, I just can't live with the thickness of the DSSD. When I tried one on it was like strapping a top-hat to my wrist. Not comfortable, JMHO.

Results will likely be biased toward a particular make given the nature of this forum...
That being said, I would pick the Deepsea if you can it pull it off size wise.

Having tried on the steel version of the new POC, I was very impressed, the fit and finish on all of the new Planet Oceans are superb. I would personally take the non-chrono version, but I think in terms of every day wearability, the Planet Ocean is the stand out watch here.

Of those I'd go for the PloProf... But I wouldn't actually have any off them.
I kind of understand the desire for watches rated to such extreme depths but try to resist sipping the "deeper/faster/bigger/shinier automatically equals better" Kool-aid.

Out of those, definately the Deepsea - and that's coming from someone who is very pro Omega. There's probably only the JLC Navy Seals that I prefer over the Deepsea.

I am a huge IWC fan and love their divers. The deep two has the mechanical depth gauge which is a nice feature. Check out their site, great watch.
http://www.iwc.com/en-us/collection/aquatimer/IW3547/ I own the IWC Aquatimer 2000 and it is the perfect summer watch. It is waterproof to over 6,600 ft and it super comfortable on the wrist. If you are looking for a nice diver, you should look at them as well. As far as the Deep Sea, true divers should be on rubber IMHO or have the ability to quickly change from the bracelet to a rubber strap just like IWC's quick strap changing system.

None of those. I'd get a JLC Master Compressor Diving Chrono instead:

Between four of them, I would go for DSSD.
In this price range, I would consider Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. |

I voted for the Deepsea because I assumed it would be your only watch but if it's your second or third my choice would be the Ploprof.

Of the ones you listed id probably go with the IWC or DSSD.
How about the JLC Navy Seals Alarm Or on a cheaper note, an Oris Pro Diver Chrono |

They are all to big and thick for my tastes when the day comes that I plan on descending more than 30 ft I'll explore my options
If I had to pikc one the Tudor someone posted looks pretty great |

I think the bracelet on the DSSD really puts it apart from the others

I got alot of heat for Liking Rolex more than Seiko on another thread. I guess Rolex is losing popularity to the Seiko GS the best watch made in the world according to many Rolexforums members. So why waste your money buy an old turtle seiko diver

The Deep Sea
Hello,
Have been down this road and chose the Deep Sea and have enjoyed it and never looked back. The key is getting the watch properly sized for the right fit. |
