Your opinion, which looks best on me SDDS or SubC

Hi All

I've had my new SubC for a week or so now. Great watch with some really nice features. However, it's taking some getting used to after my SDDS. Looking at it straight on it looks great but from the side I feel it's too thin and small looking on my 7.5" wrist. I know this is subjective and I certainly spent several weeks thinking the Deepsea was way too big!

I've posted pics of both on my wrist, which do you prefer?!

BTW the SubC is running at +1 sec per 24H, the SDDS is constant at -4

Thanks

J

Subc. Dial letters and taper of the bracelet on the dssd are deal breakers for me.

I think the DSSD look really cool on you, even if I wont be buying it.
For some strange reason, if I was to buy the DSSD, then I feel as if I have to have tried scuba-diving once at least, or get a boat or something. I know it's silly, but just have the feeling as if i can't justify wearing it..
The SubC looks of course very nice as well.

After taking my DSSD off I always feel the same way.....ride it. Leave the subC on and forget about the comparison...it will feel right in time.

I think both look great on you....

Sub for me. Looks good on you.

However, I think the DS is just too big - period.

The first time i saw one in the wild - the watch just looked plain ridiculous on the wearer. It defo makes a statement. Maybe just cos I prefer something that slips under the radar - not an attention seaker.

Hey Norway, I do agree with you, to an extent. But how about this, my Audi will do 0-60 in about 5 sec and over 150mph with five people on board and a boot full of luggage! I love the fact that it can but do I ever do it, in a word no!!

Without a doubt. It is classy, great-looking, and wearable in any situation, unlike IMO, the DSSD. I find that anytime I switch from a larger heavier watch to a smaller one - it feels really odd for a week or so. Then, the reverse it true. I like the Deepsea a lot but find the new sub much more practical and enjoyable for my money.

Good point!! SubC looks better IMHO. DSSD is just too thick.

Both are great watches and are different in many ways. For me, the Sub has my vote. I don't think I can get away with the DS due to its size. It looks like its wearing me!

If you can, keep them both. The subc would look good under the sleeve of a tux and the dssd with a polo shirt. Mate best of both worlds, only wish my wrists were the same dimension as my ankles!!

I had a good look on your pics the sub make you wrist look like it bigger then the watch, the SDDS makes your wrist look smaller then the watch.

I think the SDDS look better on you.

status,

im have the same dilemma... however i will only be purchasing one... right now :)

i havent been able to try on the new sub yet to compare with the DSSD. IMO, the DSSD looks like it just fits on people with bigger wrists, like myself. People keep suggesting for me to try on the new sub c because they are saying its a big difference than then previous models.

sorry this doesnt help but... BOTH LOOK GOOD!

they both great looking Tom - but if i had to choose one, i'd go with the Sub-C.

for me, it has the "right" proportion. imo - the Sub-C looks great on you!
