Would you own both if you could?
I'm curious if you folks here would own both a DSSD and Sub C in black that is?
What do you think? |

They're both dive watches, but they are very different watches, so from a collectors point of view, I can see owning the Sub, Sub Date, SD4000, and the DSSD.
Would I? Not on my budget and since I'm not a collector in the truest sense, I can live that. Do you appreciate the differences enough to drop that kind of cash on both?

I had a dssd the same time as a 16610lv. I flipped the dssd for a 116613lb bluesy. Go figure!

Yes, but that's only the beginning.

No; both are too large for my wrist. I'm happy with my little 14060.

No.
My Sub C date does everything the DSSD does (that I care about) in a reasonably sized package. I have no use for the DSSD and if somebody gave me one I would sell it to buy something else. |

I would own both without a doubt. I currently have a 114060 and at sometime in the future will have a DSSD DBlue

I wouldn't. Far too similar no matter what someone tries to say.

Why yes...yes I do.
No issues with owning both. I own for me not anyone else. Each piece I own brings me its own unique feeling when I wear it. Here are some of my 6 digit divers. Cheers!

I sure would if I wanted to. For us it's all about the myriad subtle differences that others would think are minuscule. I have a 14060 and a 116600. To me they are completely different watches, but my wife can't tell them apart.

DSSD too big for my wrist. SD4k is very nice but not fan of 6 digit divers, I feel like wearing a brick on my small wrist. I own 16600, 16610, 16610LV and 5513.

Not me. It'd be almost like buying two identical suits.

Too much alike. I backed off (so far) from buying a SubC because it's too much like my BLNR GMT. But, if you have the money for both, buy them, and live with them for awhile.

I recently had both but found they did a very similar job. DSSD now sold and AP Diver has replaced it. Nice to have a bit of variety!

I'm guessing that the people with big collections would and those with small collections wouldn't, UNLESS they are folks who are mainly interested in 'sports watches'.
I'd need more than a dozen Rolex before I would want to have two that were very similar in appearance.
