As I've said in the past, I use the heck out of my bezel on a daily basis and it's doing great...100% zero issues to report and it operates/feels perfect! To Moby33 and Yves - thanks very much for your reassurances. The SDDS is a great watch, certainly one of the best I've had for many years. As for the bezel, I believe you have to press it down before turning it anti-clockwise, then release it once you've turned it to the required spot. That way there's no "give'' if you try and turn it clockwise. It's actually very similar to my Sinn U1000 in this respect and I think Rolex should highlight the need to depress the bezel before turning. Once again - thanks guys!! |

I'm not far from Pacific Palisades...and the drive from Redondo Beach up the coast is probably one of the wife & my most enjoyable drives...probably do it at least once a week in one of the classic cars. Good luck w/ the RS 2.7 search...those are true classics. I love your last line...going to have to remember that one. Yep, you got it right on the GTO...the longest of the lot. While it's tough to get into a garage, I must admit the length adds to an EXTREMELY smooth ride...she glides over every bump like she's floating on air. The Vette on the other hand is back breaking & sharp yet a blast to hammer...got to love that lightweight all fiberglass body...you can drift the rear-end out on the car down the whole street with hardly any effort on the gas pedal. |

You have some very funny friends. And who cares if other's notice it or not.. if YOU like it, then it's for YOUR pleasure. Simple.. please don't buy watches to show off. I hope that's not the impression that TRF here gives off.

Hey, believe me, if I had the money to own multiple Rolexes (lets say 5), the DSSD would be in my stable no doubt. There is something so cool about it, and there are instances where I would love to wear a larger ('oversized' - not intended to cause offence) watch for when I am having a particularly active 'masculine day' and I want something that would be able to handle any environment I may find myself in... That said, I just couldnt own one as my 'one & only', despite having appreciation for it, as there are (IMO) more appropriate choices for office/everyday wear (oyster bracelet DJ or daytona for example).
You are in the priveleged position of being able to own both a Daytona and a Deep Sea, so congratulatons, and a perfectly reasonable stable! In case the tone of this is misconstrued by anyone - i'm not trying to put across that 'i give my approval, so therefore it is okay'! ;) Great stuff Yves, wear it with pride |

haha me too!
the deep sea for me has been my stepping stone (a rather pricey stone for that matter) into the larger timepiece designs. At the moment i rotate between the deep sea and my u-boat classico.... my other pieces are now stored nicely in my safe while these two are worn and on rotation. as ive mentioned i had the opportunity to go ss daytona white dial or deep sea and i took the deep sea in a heartbeat...... its just so unique and there is no other rolex model like it. |
