DeepSea, I am being biased. You are on the rolexforums...

Gerry62 · 24 February 2015, 05:18 PM

Deep Sea ........ certainly

Matt748 · 24 February 2015, 05:40 PM

Deep Sea for sure.

Having owned both, still have a DSSD. I must say DSSD.

Why?

You want a great all round watch, it can take a beating, and it will even look better a bit banged up.

If you go the Diver way I recommend the rubber, as while the bracelet is great the lack of micro-adjustment on it will either make it too loose or too tight. A heavy watch like this on the heavy bracelet needs to be just snug.

Mirx · 24 February 2015, 07:48 PM

AP - absolutely stunning watch!

2106 · 24 February 2015, 07:49 PM

I think the dssd is more versatile and my choice.

DSSD for me

danyvw · 24 February 2015, 09:55 PM

DSSD but I never liked AP designs.

travisb · 24 February 2015, 10:37 PM

If you're worried about wear and scratches, DSSD is the way to go.

nmb · 24 February 2015, 11:15 PM

Deepsea any day of the week,but then again,I do not like APs designs.

Kind Regards

DSDD for me

Happyhour2 · 3 March 2015, 02:16 PM

Tough Dilemma to have.
I have DSSD and looking to add AP diver. A couple of thoughts: what is the purpose of watch? Diving or desk diving, If you are not wearing to dive, is fragility a factor?
I probably would NOT sell my DSSD for the AP, but another consideration for me is AP is more versatile I think it looks great on strap or bracelet. I would not consider DSSD on anything but bracelet. Lastly, value. If you are like me, you will probably want something else down the line. Rolex prices climb and residual values hold on resale. AP retails $19k and you can pick up for $13k used. I would not buy AP at retail, I am considering slightly worn pre-owned as I imagine it will hold up price-wise, but not sure. Maybe others can comment?

Deep sea for me

It's been a while since I've tried on the AP. But I remember that it seemed to wear larger than the deep sea. This is what turned me off the diver for me. The deep sea also wears large but I feel comfortable wearing it largely due to the clasp

joleel7 · 4 March 2015, 04:21 AM

DSSD because I can't afford AP Diver

Get both if you can.

jbsmith · 4 March 2015, 04:23 AM

DSSD for all the reasons stated above. I prefer the D Blue dial though.

SAMARTH · 4 March 2015, 12:22 PM

DSSD D blue dial is the way to go for me
1 it looks gorgeous
2 you get the most advanced diver watch in the world with depth rating of 3900 m
3 real appreciation of value in coming years due to rolex reputation
4 tank like build quality
5 904L steel instead of 316
6 micro adjustment of clasp
7 rolex has long history of divers watch
