I'm curious if you folks here would own both a DSSD and Sub C in black that is?
What do you think?

Andrés G · 29 November 2016, 01:55 PM

Too similar for me.

murph145 · 29 November 2016, 01:56 PM

I wouldnt

swils8610 · 29 November 2016, 01:59 PM

Not for me.

Only YOU can make that call

GradyPhilpott · 29 November 2016, 02:00 PM

They're both dive watches, but they are very different watches, so from a collectors point of view, I can see owning the Sub, Sub Date, SD4000, and the DSSD.

Would I?

Not on my budget and since I'm not a collector in the truest sense, I can live that.

Do you appreciate the differences enough to drop that kind of cash on both?

Lol. Funny enough I do own both but I think there is a difference. Size for one crystal for two and of course the clasp. Oh and no date window.

Yes, but that's only the beginning.

I didn't realize you owned both when I wrote that.

of course!

if one owns two dress watches or two chrono's of the same brand, why not two rolex divers?

Wllnv19 · 29 November 2016, 02:17 PM

I do, and also the SD4k

I had a dssd the same time as a 16610lv. I flipped the dssd for a 116613lb bluesy. Go figure!

Assume you are a golfer,,,Mr Golflife

The Deepsea. I play golf everyday so would have to keep taking it off as its too heavy for my arm rotation through impact...

But, my GMT. Can leave that on always...on and off the course

So apart from that...would like to have both

HogwldFLTR · 29 November 2016, 03:16 PM

No; both are too large for my wrist. I'm happy with my little 14060.

Valkyrie · 29 November 2016, 03:16 PM

No.

My Sub C date does everything the DSSD does (that I care about) in a reasonably sized package. I have no use for the DSSD and if somebody gave me one I would sell it to buy something else.

Steve36Efc · 29 November 2016, 03:58 PM

I would own both without a doubt. I currently have a 114060 and at sometime in the future will have a DSSD DBlue

ilovewatchestoo · 29 November 2016, 04:08 PM

I wouldn't. Far too similar no matter what someone tries to say.

Ritch99 · 29 November 2016, 04:33 PM

No issues with owning both. I own for me not anyone else. Each piece I own brings me its own unique feeling when I wear it. Here are some of my 6 digit divers. Cheers!

DCheeta · 29 November 2016, 04:38 PM

I sure would if I wanted to. For us it's all about the myriad subtle differences that others would think are minuscule. I have a 14060 and a 116600. To me they are completely different watches, but my wife can't tell them apart.

Porter · 29 November 2016, 04:49 PM

DSSD too big for my wrist. SD4k is very nice but not fan of 6 digit divers, I feel like wearing a brick on my small wrist. I own 16600, 16610, 16610LV and 5513.

Not me. It'd be almost like buying two identical suits.

Yeah, but one would be a really big suit.

I would definitely own both..if I had the money for it..

JapRs · 29 November 2016, 05:17 PM

Quailhunter · 29 November 2016, 05:24 PM

Too much alike. I backed off (so far) from buying a SubC because it's too much like my BLNR GMT. But, if you have the money for both, buy them, and live with them for awhile.

Zilla99 · 29 November 2016, 06:49 PM

Nope. Just the Sub C for me.
