DSSD on the wrist.....BIG or small
i read a lot of threads that mention the DSSD is too large/big/heavy

i am interested to know the wrist sizes of the people who make this claim? myself i love the DSSD because its the only model other than the YM II which suits my wrist which is 220mm or 8.66"

i had to add an extra link to my original bracelet which now has 12 links, it has the fliplock extension in place and still have to open the glidelock extension to the third increment.

Those who complain that it is big don't have 8.66" wrists.

The DSSD fits you just right.

I think your wrist could be a contender for the Deep Sea Challenge!

Seriously though, your DSSD looks great on you.
