The D-Blue Deepsea is my most favorite to wear among my collection. The balance and comfort is amazing despite its size and heft. It also has one of the most beautiful dials among the diving watch category.

I personally don’t think I would enjoy wearing that watch, but as some have pointed out, it doesn’t matter what I think. If YOU enjoy the watch and the size works for YOU then many congrats and wear it in good health!

Love that PloProf! I wish they bring back the steel but with Master Chronometer movement this time! Would love to experience that heft and presence!

Looks great! I personally don’t have enough meat on me to be able to rock it but am glad to see you can.

Different tastes and sizes adds variety to the community! Otherwise it would be very mundane

Lately I’ve been running with my JC DSSD. I don’t even feel it on my wrist anymore it’s so comfortable. And much classier than my Garmin!

Nice shot! And I agree, snug is the way to go. My JC is more comfortable than the SD43 for me

It looks great! I think a lot of the people who say it's way too big have never actually tried on the watch.

I agree, it’s a big Rolex but it’s not that big of a watch..

I disagree. It's all about fashion, and that changes often.

I’m with you. I don’t think it’s big compared to a lot of others. I wear a Garmin when I’m running and that’s a 47. Also have a Panerai the wears bigger.

The DSSD might be big for a Rolex but is really mid sized compared to other companies so called larger sizes. I only like to wear larger watches now. 44mm-45mm is my favorite size for me.

If you’re happy with it, then it’s perfect for you. Simple as that.

It is too big. So are AP ROOs and yet they are super popular. To each his own.

I’ve got a 7.25 inch wrist and I wouldn’t consider the deepsea, that thing is huge. I’d want at least an 8 inch wrist to feel comfortable wearing it. It looks especially comical when worn with a shirt but each to their own.

Some people can pull of the JC and others can't. For those who can, I think it's one of the best models Rolex offers. You definitely can, looks great!

I have a DSSD and find it very comfortable! Hardly know it’s there. Agree smaller watches aren’t ever going to make a comeback. Ever! Cannot wear any Rolex smaller than the Explorer II 42mm. As much as I try I just can’t get used to the very small look and feel they have on wrist. I get the whole ‘comfortable’ thing but a small watch just based on simple physics will feel that way.
