D-Blue Pics Request

Folks,

Can we get some pics of the D-blue (116660 and 126660) but with full body perspective?

Perspective of wristshots is generally inaccurate as to how (any) watch appears in real time.

For those on fence about d-blue, pics with more accurate perspective would be much appreciated.

Travis, Thanks for pic.

In your experience, how does size of 126660 compare with SD43 on wrist?

I actually prefer the new DSSD over the SD43. Size, balance, aesthetics. Everything really.
Not taking anything away from the SD as I think it’s a great reference.

no pics but after seeing the new one i think i actually prefer the old one. The bracelet is actually noticeably thicker and while IMO it looks more balanced, however the drawback is it looks chunkier. I would take the slightly thinner bracelet at this point to be honest. I never thought i would say that.

It is bulkier, that was my first impression. Saying that I don't mind the new one at all, the old one is now a safe queen.

Great photos mate.

Love the D blue but I can't pull it off.

I'm glad the SD43 came out a seats nicer on my small size wrists.

Same goes to the IWC's Big Pilot. Too big

On a 6 3/4 wrist. I was able to see the new version at a Basel event and the clasp is bigger than the original D Blue.
