Guys, I have a dilemma. I love my deepsea but there are times that it just doesn't work. Mainly with a suit. I want to add another rolex to mix that can be worn in these situations.

What is the watch you would get given you owned a deepsea?

Please keep in mind that it would NEED to be a sport model....I know that narrows the choices down.

As always, thank you in advance for your reply.

I would get either a SS Yacht Master or a SS GMT-IIc.

htc8p · 26 October 2010, 05:27 PM

i agree gmt 2 c for suits

but for elegance you could go datejust since the gmt and deep sea are similar looking. that would be true variety

cajerseyboy · 26 October 2010, 05:32 PM

Thanks for the responses. I was leaning toward a GMTC. Do you know what they are going for in the classified section? 6, 7 K?

$5,500-$5,800 gray market, I believe.

Why not a Daytona?u

Dylan Wade · 26 October 2010, 06:53 PM

Have been in the same boat twice and each time I paired up the EXP Ii white dial to compliment the DSSD....the EXP II is just as robust, yet sleek and of course offers a complete visual contrast with the white dial....perfect for you and your suits...no better choice IMO.

bayerische · 26 October 2010, 06:55 PM

Submariner or GMT 2c

Tek · 26 October 2010, 07:14 PM

Hi Brian,

I don't have the SDDS but have a Sub-date and bought a White EII, great contrast between black & white. Two very different watches,,,,love them. Good luck on your decision

sandybax · 26 October 2010, 07:26 PM

Wearing a GMTc with a suit now and it looks ok. Not exactly the classic look a DJ2 would have provided, but ok.

Daddybear · 26 October 2010, 08:36 PM

Explorer. One.

zak98 · 26 October 2010, 09:21 PM

DS_Obsessed · 26 October 2010, 09:57 PM

GEO_79 · 26 October 2010, 10:37 PM

Singslinger · 27 October 2010, 12:22 AM

If you want an elegant yet sporty watch to wear with a suit, then I'd recommend the S/S YM or even one of the TT YM versions (provided you don't mind gold).

petesjag · 27 October 2010, 12:33 AM

definitly the GMT IIC...

psv · 27 October 2010, 12:36 AM

GMTIIC if you can live with the "bling"! :-)

Exp II white dial if you want something different.

PHDX2 · 27 October 2010, 12:37 AM

Daytona.

Would also consider the DJ II.

Frogman4me · 27 October 2010, 12:55 AM

I would think the GMTII C would be a good fit, just don't make a thread saying its too small because your used the deep sea...lol

zhiunit · 27 October 2010, 12:58 AM

DJ or DD looks good with suite, my dad has one lol

David Woo · 27 October 2010, 01:00 AM

I'd get an old sub and a new sub: then you'd have small medium and large!

milgauss...

mike · 27 October 2010, 01:56 AM

cajerseyboy · 27 October 2010, 02:06 AM

Thanks everyone for your responses. So here's what its between:

GMT IIc
EXplorer II
And
Daytona

I would love a daytona but it's a bit spendy. Anyone have a black dial yet want to get rid of for 6k??? :)

Explorer II is a great piece but I'm not sure about the white face.

I'm leaning towards the GMT IIc but need to try them all on to be sure.

Thanks TRF!

SaddleSC · 27 October 2010, 02:16 AM

I would choose this one for sure. It is a perfect compliment to my 16600 SD...

Go Daytona - smaller, thinner, would contrast nicely :)

You don't have to conform to the norm.

jeremyam · 27 October 2010, 04:13 AM

YM or GMTIIC, maybe a Sub if you don't mind something that looks similar. All of the aforementioned pieces will be a nice addition, lacking though, in terms of prowess and stats. The DSSD is a near impossible act to follow.
