Stunning

Picked up my Pepsi today from AD store as they sent it to Dallas.
The packaging when it’s returned is much sleeker so it’s good
Also got a chance to try on the YG DSSD and I tell you, it’s a really marvelous and stunning piece, the lacquered blue bezel and dial is a sight to behold
I would not mind selling my 116618 and getting this

Not sure if it's the angle in the picture, but that thing looks huge.

Doesn't this watch have the exact same movement that is in the DJ 36mm. There may be a lot of empty space in that case. LOL

I agree, a stunner, a super flex…. Size does matter! Looks good on you.
You won’t see many out there. Go for it! I have not seen one yet.
Rolex can do an awesome blue bezel.


Cheers,

I've tried on a SS DSSD before, and that thing is massive and heavy on my wrist. This full YG version must be a real anchor! I haven't seen one in person yet, but it does look pretty impressive from all of the pics and vids I've seen. If I had the wrist to pull one off, I would probably want one of those.

Honestly, i thought it would be heavy, but it actually felt pretty decent weight...f
for some reason, the 116618 I have feels heavier...i know doesnt make sense but after reading this...

https://www.ablogtowatch.com/hands-o...36668lb-watch/

Part of it is made of RLX TITanium...so there
but it is STUNNING

Any time you have a big brick of YG it’s a good watch.

I tried it on two weeks ago. I did like it. I also tried on.the gold Sub and felt that it was just a more low key look because of the size. Didn't buy either, but very tempting. I have the JC Deep-sea already, so the size isn't an issue. I just wonder if it's to much in your face. Almost Invicta like.

This fits you well. What size is your wrist?

Gold sub just looks better, slimmer with a sunburst dial.

Stunning? Maybe if you club someone over the the head with it…

Poor fit and garish (and that’s putting it nicely).
