Please help me pick one of the following Deep Divers you would prefer:

Thanks
Anthony

Melanotaenia · 19 January 2012, 02:54 AM

#4, obviously :)

wantonebad · 19 January 2012, 02:59 AM

In this rare circumstance I would get the Omega, I just can't live with the thickness of the DSSD. When I tried one on it was like strapping a top-hat to my wrist. Not comfortable, JMHO.

VAWATCHGUY · 19 January 2012, 03:00 AM

DSSD, but I am a bit biased.

liuk3 · 19 January 2012, 03:01 AM

Results will likely be biased toward a particular make given the nature of this forum...

That being said, I would pick the Deepsea if you can it pull it off size wise.

Having tried on the steel version of the new POC, I was very impressed, the fit and finish on all of the new Planet Oceans are superb. I would personally take the non-chrono version, but I think in terms of every day wearability, the Planet Ocean is the stand out watch here.

Grumpy Badger · 19 January 2012, 03:09 AM

Of those I'd go for the PloProf... But I wouldn't actually have any off them.

I kind of understand the desire for watches rated to such extreme depths but try to resist sipping the "deeper/faster/bigger/shinier automatically equals better" Kool-aid.

SeamasterGMT · 19 January 2012, 03:26 AM

Out of those, definately the Deepsea - and that's coming from someone who is very pro Omega. There's probably only the JLC Navy Seals that I prefer over the Deepsea.

Feras · 19 January 2012, 03:28 AM

SMP offcorse, it stands out as Chris said, and it can be worn in all occasions. Otherwise the floprof.
IWC naaah
SD i dont want to comment about it because many ppl here loves it, but i just would like to say that the watch is out of propotions

Lion · 19 January 2012, 03:47 AM

Just curious how deep does the IWC and the Omegas go???

karmatp · 19 January 2012, 03:55 AM

I am a huge IWC fan and love their divers. The deep two has the mechanical depth gauge which is a nice feature. Check out their site, great watch.

http://www.iwc.com/en-us/collection/aquatimer/IW3547/

I own the IWC Aquatimer 2000 and it is the perfect summer watch. It is waterproof to over 6,600 ft and it super comfortable on the wrist. If you are looking for a nice diver, you should look at them as well.

As far as the Deep Sea, true divers should be on rubber IMHO or have the ability to quickly change from the bracelet to a rubber strap just like IWC's quick strap changing system.

Fiery · 19 January 2012, 04:13 AM

None of those. I'd get a JLC Master Compressor Diving Chrono instead:

Polemic · 19 January 2012, 04:15 AM

Between four of them, I would go for DSSD.

In this price range, I would consider Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

FeelingTheBlues · 19 January 2012, 04:16 AM

I voted for the Deepsea because I assumed it would be your only watch but if it's your second or third my choice would be the Ploprof.

TSW · 19 January 2012, 05:02 AM

Deepsea any day of the year!

bassplayrr · 19 January 2012, 05:11 AM

The PloProf for me. It's pretty high on my want list.

masterserg · 19 January 2012, 05:12 AM

Dssd

sparky · 19 January 2012, 05:25 AM

another 45 mm choice

:

capote · 19 January 2012, 05:31 AM

1. POC

2. Ploprof

3. IWC
4. SDDS

JJL · 19 January 2012, 05:36 AM

Of the ones you listed id probably go with the IWC or DSSD.

How about the JLC Navy Seals Alarm

Or on a cheaper note, an Oris Pro Diver Chrono

Rolexis · 19 January 2012, 05:39 AM

I love Rolex more than just about any watch or Brand, but the Ploprof Is an awsome looking watch. If I was a diver and was looking for a diving tool its the Ploprof

azguy · 19 January 2012, 05:42 AM

They are all to big and thick for my tastes

when the day comes that I plan on descending more than 30 ft I'll explore my options

If I had to pikc one the Tudor someone posted looks pretty great

CAPDSSD · 19 January 2012, 05:55 AM

I don't do straps.

tkerrmd · 19 January 2012, 06:03 AM

I think the bracelet on the DSSD really puts it apart from the others

RolexSA · 19 January 2012, 06:10 AM

You are asking this on a Rolex forum ?

psv · 19 January 2012, 06:27 AM

Have you guys tried the POC? It is 45.5mm and a whopping 19mm thick! It makes the DSSD look and feel like an agile watch!?! :-)

I actually would suggest the DSSD and the Ploprof. Both are extreme diving tools, the former something abit more wearable and the latter ugly but fun!

topcat30093 · 19 January 2012, 06:32 AM

From your choice it would be the POC

I got alot of heat for Liking Rolex more than Seiko on another thread. I guess Rolex is losing popularity to the Seiko GS the best watch made in the world according to many Rolexforums members. So why waste your money buy an old turtle seiko diver
