Hello from NorCal
Hey guys how's it going? I'm from San Jose, CA and have been primarily an Omega guy over the years but have always wanted a Submariner. It looks like the time has come for me to get one, hopefully next week.
 However, after seeing pictures and reviews of the DSSD I am having second thoughts about the Submariner. I must say that I have never seen the DSSD in person so I guess I have to go to an AD, try it on and see if I'm okay with the size and weight. Either way, I will be a Rolex owner very soon. Wish me luck. |

Hey from Sacramento!
 I preferred the SD... the DSSD is just too "hummer-ish", imho. If you can pull it off, more power to you. |

Welcome and good luck.
 The DSSD is really quite a piece of work. I personally prefer the Submariner for its comfortable feel on my wrist. If the DSSD was the same thickness and weight of the Submariner I would have a DSSD. Just my  but something to think about when you go to buy.

Welcome to the Forum.
The Sub is 'THE CLASSIC' the DSSD is 'THE STATEMENT'.  A compromise, and one of my favourites, is the old Sea Dweller.
