Looking at it on your wrist it doesn't look too big. Big yes, but too big, no. I can pull that watch off too, have a friend with the LN version and he told me I should get one, that it fits, looks good etc. However from my perspective of seeing it on my wrist I thought it massive, just too tall. Point being is your perspective of its size when wearing it is what counts. And if you are thinking about re-acquiring it then you must like it. Get it!

I have the D-Blue and it’s an awesome watch!
By the way, it looks really good on your wrist.

Have you got a good answer when someone asks "Where do dive?"

Yeah, I really can’t imagine wearing one of these unless I was actually a serious diver, and, even if I was, it would still feel a bit like wearing one of these around town. I just don’t get it.

DSSD is not supposed to be small or average size, it is supposed to be on the bigger side. It fits very well on your wrist!

I think it looks fine on you but you sold it for a reason. I tend to trust my gut and it’s kept me from regretting (or duplicating) purchases. That’s why I sold mine. Maybe you love the “idea” of the watch? Perhaps try the 43mm SD or another large sporty watch like an AP ROO.

You’re right, I do love the idea of the watch....big, bada**, bezel design, etc...I like either one, black or blue. My gut is what was telling me it was too big...but I never asked what anyone else thought of the size on my wrist.

I like what I like. I don’t care what others think ( especially on forums). If you like it, is all what matters.

It looks big and thick. If it’s a tool, fine. If its jewelry, no.

Saw a guy wearing a black DSSD at the airport over the weekend with similarly sized wrists. The diameter looks totally fine. I think 44mm works for you (and the guy at the airport). But it's just soooooo thick. I just can't get past that part of it. When people describe it as wearing a tuna can that's not far off. It's just ridiculously thick. Love the watch but that aspect of it will keep me from ever buying one. The SD43 is so much better proportioned IMO

Crap, sorry. I didn't realize these were current pics, and you re-bought the watch. I thought you were still looking for opinions. So, ignore my above comments and wear it in good health.

If you’re still soliciting opinions, man, I think even the SD and Sub look big, let alone the DSSD. I’d probably get something under 40mm if I was you, unless you’re actually a hardcore diver.

It basically looks like you’re driving a Hummer H1, but, I don’t know, maybe that’s the vibe you’re going for??
