DJII looks better on your wrist.

TswaneNguni · 21 August 2011, 02:16 PM

DSSD

gmtm2 · 21 August 2011, 10:31 PM

Cristell · 22 August 2011, 12:49 AM

36mm

Tango17 · 22 August 2011, 01:03 AM

DSSD all the way!!!!

Bobble · 22 August 2011, 01:36 AM

My jeweller friend, who has impeccable taste, says you should always be able to see some strap when wearing a watch, never just the watch being wider than the wrist

I COMPLETELY agree!!!

DJ2 will look better on your wrist.

Spartan · 22 August 2011, 04:45 AM

with arms like that, 41mm all the way!

gazp · 22 August 2011, 02:00 AM

Have you tried a mid size ? .......................................

gazp · 22 August 2011, 02:01 AM

ManUtd · 21 August 2011, 12:47 PM

DJII looks best on you IMO.

chiko323 · 21 August 2011, 12:55 PM

I like them both but for you, I think the 41mm looks better.

Maxseven · 21 August 2011, 01:06 PM

36mm way too small for your frame.

emagni · 21 August 2011, 01:13 PM

36mm looks like you accidentally wore your wife's watch and didn't notice until I bought it up to you. We will all forgive you for cross dressing and go put on your DSSD or DJII.

Lmao!!!

DCgator · 21 August 2011, 01:25 PM

Mike, go with 41mm DJII or DDII - keep the DSSD - the 36mm does look like a ladies watch on your wrists!

hoops10 · 21 August 2011, 01:19 PM

If I were you I would sale the DDSD and buy the DJII. While they both look good I just think the DDII is a better fit for you. I have a DJ 36mm and my wrist is less than 6.5 lnches and after wearing my Daytona it is even starting to look small on my wrist. Good luck.

CharlieSF · 21 August 2011, 01:46 PM

Mike, best of luck on your bodybuilding career. I said earlier in the thread that we had similar builds but after seeing your pics I withdraw my statement. You're a monster! Whats your H/W when you're not in comp mode? I'm 6'2 255 but nowhere as cut as you are. As many have mentioned, 40+ is the way to go. I don't understand this idea of 36mm watches looking good on everyone. On guys like us it just doesn't work.

PS- I also agree w/ keeping the DSSD unless you have to flip it. Best of luck.

Thanks, going to the North American Championship in 13 days... I'm 5' 4.5" (yes I add that .5") about 235-240 morning weight offseason. @200lbs on stage.

jenniferjanef · 21 August 2011, 01:58 PM

Mike check out Panerai PAM341 .. That will be a perfect fit for your XXL wrist while you are not on diet. It is 60mm! Arnold wears one too. I did tried to get one for my husband, his wrist is only 7.5 and it is way too big for him. He wear the dssd perfectly thou. Btw, check out the dd2.. I last month bought him a dd2 and he loves it. It wears even bigger than the dssd 'visually'. Do check out the Panerai and the DD2 before you close the deal.. Btw yummy body!

.. Happy shopping.. Jennifer

watchf · 21 August 2011, 02:21 PM

Mike you look fantastic in that competition pic!

In those pics you posted in the first post DJ and DJII both looks fine but you are right when you are off season the DJ will look a little small/odd with added bulk to your size. I reckon DJ II/DD II's size will accommodate you full year round regardless of conditions.

tomchicago · 21 August 2011, 02:52 PM

the white DJ jub is classic. looks great. DJII seems unbalanced imo with the big bezel. If you want a D-D the kicker is the chunkier prez bracelet.

SWIMPRUF · 21 August 2011, 02:55 PM

Keep the DSSD and save for the day-date. Time can wait.

Otto · 21 August 2011, 03:27 PM

Both look fine. I like the DJII best.

sub2004 · 21 August 2011, 04:15 PM

Hi mate,

1. Awesome physique, all the very best. I could only dream of having a build like that.

2. I would avoid the 36mm DJ as if your hand swells it will look very small and feel almost like the watch is sitting on a third of your top wrist which doesnt look nice.

3. Go with DJ2 or DD2

4. I love the "mystique" of the DSSD but I think it is a true "tool" watch and meant to be worn by professionals over a dive suit. I have tried it many times but it is too thick and top heavy. No disrespect to those that own one, it is a great watch but maybe it is a watch that can be worn once in a while as part of a bigger collection as opposed to "the DSSD is my only watch".

If you have the financial means, go for the Day Date 2 or GMT 2 Yellow Gold.

Thanks for the compliment... Not into the YG, I would LOVE one, but not sure it would go with my dress style. I am seriously considering selling my DSSD and buying a WG DD2. Then in a yr or less, rebuy the DS or a Sub.

xjeeunitx · 21 August 2011, 10:33 PM

DSSD all the way!

texex91 · 21 August 2011, 10:38 PM

DSSD is the perfect fit. 36mm looks way too small on you! IMHO.
