This worries me also. If they have made the dial the same size and/or smaller and increased the case size that may not look good. I have had a few watches that I ended up getting rid of for exactly this reason because they looked sort of un-balanced. I have first shot at one with my local dealer but it is really going to depend on how it looks in person as to whether I take it or not.

I wish the size of the dial was larger but that hasn't happen. I guess you could wear a huge block of steel on your wrist if you wanted.

Personally, I really thank Rolex for this watch as it makes me appreciate my vintage SD soo much more

Yeah, I agree. I think the new DSSD would get hung up a lot on shirt cuffs. The SD is big enough, and I love mine, but I think any bigger, especially with the writing, is a bit much for my taste. I personally like the subtle approach.

That being said, I was glad to see the first wrist shot! Thanks for sending!

SPORTSFAN · 28 April 2008, 11:11 PM

That guy has a 10 inch wrist though

vukotab · 28 April 2008, 11:20 PM

Beautiful...but waay too big.

Marrk · 29 April 2008, 12:54 AM

Duly noted.

My apologies.

i was going to say the same but you beat me to it

harvey · 29 April 2008, 01:38 AM

thats one substantial watch!

according to my local AD (one of the biggest independents in the country) he advised me today this will be as difficult to get as the daytona.

Gedanken · 29 April 2008, 01:48 AM

Hmm. Lemme check ...

Nope.....

Uhhh, no, still no joy ....

Oh wait ...

Nah, that's just a rash ....

Uhh, nope, nope, definitely not. That just don't do sweet FA for me.

I'll stay with the good old 16600.

DSJ · 29 April 2008, 01:50 AM

I could see myself wearing that - on my ankle! lol

daveathall · 29 April 2008, 01:53 AM

I think its a beautiful looking watch, here's another wrist shot, unfortunately not my wrist.

Mr Sandman · 29 April 2008, 02:48 AM

Do I like it.......Yes

Would I wear it......Yes

Would I buy it........Yes

Would I buy it at the current RRP.........No

I think its a whole lot of cash for a stainless steel watch.The Daytona price I can understand but not this one.If it came down to £3800 GB I would think again

GoldenBear · 29 April 2008, 03:06 AM

For those of you that have your shirts made, just have your tailor add extra space to your cuffs. That is what mine has done for years. They are far more comfortable and any watch fits well under there. Even if you can't get those shirts, sticking the cuff under the watch will push it up and display it nicely. Just what most people want...a reason (or method) to show it off.

Now that 's a piece of good advice

GMTII Owner · 29 April 2008, 03:12 AM

Too big for me.

Tony-GB · 29 April 2008, 03:16 AM

I have already advertised my kidney on eBay.

Despite my recent/ongoing problems with the RSC (UK) I want a Deap Sea reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaal bad.............

The dial is not busy enough yet. There is still some blank space where they can add more superfluous verbiage.

Nothing wrong with big watches, a time piece of this caliber should be that size.
Does anybody know, once they are released, what the availability would be, I'm thinking of putting my name on somebody's list to get one.

topcat30093 · 30 April 2008, 09:20 AM

Great photo of a awesome looking watch.
I can't wait to see and put one on!!!!!!

That's why there's TWO buttons on the cuff.

neilgader · 30 April 2008, 11:05 AM

the real question is just how big is that guy's wrist?

Incurable · 30 April 2008, 11:50 AM

Now that's a CHUNK... The second pic makes it look more palatable. I'm reminded of JJ's thread about using your Rolex as a weapon... This one qualifies!!

Woe be the recipient with this one...

Marrk · 30 April 2008, 03:42 PM

Unless this guy weighs, like, 90 lbs., that is, as the man said, a chunk.

Beautiful, though. Very beautiful.

(The watch, not the guy''s wrist.)

How about "costs arm & leg" around the inner rehaut

Marrk · 30 April 2008, 04:02 PM

Okay, g-d d-mn it, that made me laugh out loud.

My sombrero is in the "OFF" position to you, sir.

I second these comments.

It has grown on me too.

If the DSSD was of a similar price to the GMTIIc here in Australia I would have a damn hard choice to make.

I like big chunky watches. Just my opinion.
