Tried the DSSD today...

Initial thoughts, after a play at an AD...

- love the watch head, much nicer in real life. Rehaut writing not too obvious and domed crystal is nice. Too thick for a shirt cuff, but that's hardly a valid criticism of a dive watch.

- bracelet is disproportionate to the watch head, too narrow & thin.

- Glidelock clasp is great, but seems a bit bulky for the bracelet.

- ceramic bezel turns smoothly, if rather too easily for my liking. And on the watch I handled it was quite badly misaligned.

Overall, I really like the Deep Sea but the bracelet is putting me off.

As a footnote, I am finding too many little quality niggles with new watches – really not good enough, imho.

Cheers
