That's enough back and forth from the pair of you....

If you can't agree, simply move on and don't use these boards for a war of words!
If you can't get past it, I might have the final say....and either of you won't like it!

And for the people who say that big watches are not gonna be popular in 20 years, I say quit smoking the crack pipe and come to reality.

Johnny, there's alway's haters on almost all models..Get past it and let it roll off your back...Some people just need to learn and post with some class instead!

Come on now... I dont think someone needs to play on a NFL line to wear this beauty. Im a perfect example, Im 5'5" tall, and this watch fits me like a glove! Look at my Daytona pic, def too small for me, now look at the DSSD pic.

You arms are huge!!! so it looks perfect on you... & I am not being funny, most people are not that big... I really wasn't referring to height as much as being a "big" guy, with my NFL comment... really, it looks right on you...

Awesome. I'm envious of your DSSD. I'm a little taller but a more on the "svelte" side so the Deep Sea will look a bit bigger on me. Don't care though...It's a great tool watch and I'm a diver so...that's how I'm rationalizing it

Rollie8 · 13 May 2011, 01:01 PM

Wow there tiny, work out ever? You may be 5'5" but with arms like Popeye the DSSD looks like a 39mm watch on you. Nice collection of watches you have.

CPD · 13 May 2011, 01:05 PM

I'm not looking to start trouble, actually I apologize if I got a little heated. I know people have every right to have an opinion, but they shouldn't talk trash (DSSD is cartoonishly large) when they don't even own the watch.

Nice watch and nice work (tattoo). Who's the artist?

Thanks! The watch is absolutely AWESOME! The best purchase I've made in a long time. I get my ink done here in Chicago. I love it, but it's starting to get pricey. Could've bought my Panerai 312, I'm dying to get, instead of all the ink.

Hurts less too

I just finished a shoulder piece and want to keep going for a full sleeve but it wouldn't play well for me at work.

Deep Sea all the way! Then again thats coming from a guy who used to
drive my 79 Trans Am to football practice!

I feel the same way. The DSSD is just perfect in every way.

If you want to keep going then do it. Don't let work stop you from doing something you want to do. Lucky enough for me, I have a profession that accepts tattoos and I deal with the public and I'm in the public eye all day.

Rollie2011 · 13 May 2011, 01:55 PM

I love the new Exp II. Ultimately... that decision is up to you!

aquanaut · 13 May 2011, 01:57 PM

I seriously considered selling my DSSD for a New green Sub, in fact i had two offers for it. however withdrew it from sale. Glad i did! Don't plan to ever sell it. Guess will save up for the new sub

johnnydeepsea · 13 May 2011, 03:09 PM

I wear my DSSD every day and love every minute of it. I think it is the best looking Rolex out.

MikeJaye · 13 May 2011, 03:17 PM

Thanks for the DSSD v Exp II input guys. I guess I'll just have to wait until the Exp II comes outs to see if it's for me or not. At present I'm leaning more towards flipping the DSSD. I do love it but would like a more pratical watch, I only wear the DSSD on weekends as it doesn't fit under most of my shirt cuffs. Even though the Exp II is 42mm I'm assuming it will be a lot slimmer than the DSSD.

Thanks again
Mike

SS Oyster · 13 May 2011, 06:23 PM

EXP II for sure. I'm going to get one.

I have never really thought about the Explorer as a watch I'd like to add to my collection. However, this new Explorer II is very nice indeed. I can't wait to see one. I think it could be my next Rolex.
I wouldn't swap my Deepsea for an Explorer II but I can definately see the appeal.
As many have already said, try the watch on, take your Deepsea with you and put them next to each other...you will know which one. Good luck.

I was thinking the same thing, SeaMasterGMT, but then I realized that I had read every reply in that string. I guess ridiculousness generates interest in some cases.
In any case, I'm certain of two things:
1) I am not an NFL lineman.
2) If the DSSD and other large watches are out of style 20 years from now, I'll still be wearing mine.

I have to agree i think it may be more the depth than the circumference plus to much going on the dial and rings for my liking. Are dying to see the EXP II up close and see if i'd hate that oversized orange hand as much as i think i would.

I don't own one, but I did try on a buddy's last week, and he has the same size wrist as I do..about 6.75. Honestly, I found it surprisingly comfortable and thought it looked awesome.

I don't need to wear the new EXPII to answer the question.

I had the DSSD and let it go...it was too chunky on my wrist....

I'll take the new Explorer II all day long.
