Clash of Titans Pic Request: Exp42 Vs DSSD

I'd love to see how these big guys compare against each other. Anyone with these two in the collection yet?

Care to share some comparison pics?

I have a DSSD and am interested in an Explorer 42. If someone would be so kind as to provide me with an Explorer 42, White Face please, I will arrange, at my expense of course, for a professional photographer to photo-document the two watches. There after, the photo would be yours to keep, along with any intellectual property rights associated therewith, and Iwould be content to merely keep the Explorer.

Any takers?

With the exception of the height on the DSSD they look the same from the front view. Awesome picture Thomas, should give everyone an excellent comparison.

Useful shots Thomas...thanks :)

I know that the exp42 wore flat and comfortably on my wrist when I tried it....the dssd was always too tall in the end. Front on they look similar with the 42 vs 43 not far off proportionally.

The EXP wears superflat on my wrist too and very comfortable with the more softer shaped case
