Some different views of the Deep Sea

[Ken Cox]

The DSSD looks better to me in this comparison than it has in the past.

I didn't notice the ring text as much as I have in other photos.

The band looks appropriately-sized to me, considering not the bulk of the watch but, that, in the end, the band has to work on a human wrist.

As for the thickness and bulk of the watch, it seems in keeping with the concept of the watch, and I think the bulk itself (in terms of mass) serves to protect the movement from accumulated impact and shock stresses, as much as it protects the movement from the pressures of depth.

As for the extreme depth rating, which, at first thought, seems unusable for human beings, I note that by practical convention, one cannot trust a rating at a depth unless that rating exceeds the depth by an order of magnitude.

In other words, no doubt can exist that this watch will resist the intrusion of water at any depth survivable by a human being, utilizing whatever technology (including technologies available only to the military and research scientists).

Finally, the depth-rating represents a King-of-the-Hill, or, rather, King-of-the-Depths flag.
Although, it seems to me another watch-maker offers this depth-rating.

In this comparison, I like this watch much better than I have in the past.

Thanks.
