I wear my DSSD every day and love every minute of it. I think it is the best looking Rolex out.

MikeJaye · 13 May 2011, 03:17 PM

Thanks for the DSSD v Exp II input guys. I guess I'll just have to wait until the Exp II comes outs to see if it's for me or not. At present I'm leaning more towards flipping the DSSD. I do love it but would like a more pratical watch, I only wear the DSSD on weekends as it doesn't fit under most of my shirt cuffs. Even though the Exp II is 42mm I'm assuming it will be a lot slimmer than the DSSD.

Thanks again
Mike

SS Oyster · 13 May 2011, 06:23 PM

EXP II for sure. I'm going to get one.

jezza17 · 14 May 2011, 12:31 AM

How bizzare. Either the DSSD or new E2 are going to be my next watch. I am leaning toward the E2 but will need to see it in the flesh before I make my final decision. If I had a DSSD already, I would say keep it and fund the E2 with raffle tickets...

JJ Irani · 14 May 2011, 02:17 AM

For me, the slimness of the new Exp-II would definitely win over the whopping 18 mm thickness of the DSSD - not to mention the tremendous weight as well.

I would wait to see the ExpII on the wrist, the pictures that have been shown so far look very impressive but you'll never know until you actually try it on. You should also give it some time to let the "New" factor wear off on the ExpII.

I'm sure once the "newness" of the Exp II has worn off it will be just a run of the mill watch, whereas the DSSD will seem a bit more specialist and probably more rare.

I know it's my choice but wondered what you guys would do...flip the DSSD or keep it?

Cheers

interesting Mike.
as many people have already suggested... best to wait till you have physically handled the 42mm EXPII and then make the decision.

i personally would take the 42mm EXPII because i still cant get used to the height of the DSSD

joleel7 · 14 May 2011, 06:10 AM

Ever since I own 44mm watches I can't go back to anything less. When I compare my GMT II to DSSD the GMT II just too small for me now.

Omega 1120 · 14 May 2011, 06:17 AM

Try one on. Go home....think about it. Try one on a second time.....then decide.

Don't forget to bring the DSSD with you when you try on the new Explorer.

Have fun!!

MikeJaye · 14 May 2011, 06:27 AM

Well, I know its not the same but to test the road I have recently acquired a 16750 Explorer! I never meant to get one but I got offered one in a trade for another watch in my collection and thought I'd give it a go.

So far so good...wasn't sure how much id like the metal bezel but it's one of the things i most like...loving the way it looks. Think this has tipped things further towards the new Exp II. Can't wait to try it on!

pilfilr · 14 May 2011, 09:06 AM

OK, Which dial do you have? MKI or MKII? If you have the MKI DSSD dial...this gets harder. It might be worth alot more down the road (20 years??). Maybe not the DRSD following, but you know how crazy collectors are for the rare stuff. The MKI dial may not be rare now...but, it is out of production. I have a load of watches and have not dawned my DSSD in maybe 6 months. But, I wore it the last two weeks and am still very happy with the purchase... Good Luck!

jschmidtdmd · 14 May 2011, 09:08 AM

I LOVE my DSSD.....

travisb · 14 May 2011, 09:34 AM

I love the DS but a bit too thick for me. The Exp seems like it would be a great daily watch. Will have to see it in person to really know.

Chipmunk · 15 May 2011, 03:24 AM

New 42mm ExpII gets my vote.

MikeJaye · 15 May 2011, 06:30 AM

Wore the DSSD for the first time this week...I like it too much to flip, think I'll just have to get the Exp II and keep the DSSD too :)

best of both worlds imo

kymwatchlog · 16 April 2012, 03:43 PM

i sold my DSSD (at a loss) so that i can buy a rolex that i think i can carry better.

so i bought a gmtIIc.

now with the remaining funds, i am pooling money for a ExpII black.

mltworldwide · 16 April 2012, 04:27 PM

but the DSSD is too big for me. I've had 3 DSSD and strangely they are all too big. Really too thick. The Exp II is just about perfect size for me.

Only had one DSSD, and sold it not because it was too big, but it had a tendency to roll around a bit too much on my wrist for daily wear since I wear my watches a bit loser.

The new Exp II has been nothing short of perfect. I know it's a keeper for sure.. it's by far my favorite daily wear watch!

Chewbacca · 10 May 2012, 12:17 PM

dssd.

buy mine.

lol.

Psmith · 10 May 2012, 07:35 PM

Of these two, I prefer the Exp II (42 mm)

CLRBLULITE · 11 May 2012, 04:48 PM

LOVE the DSSD! There seems to be no middle ground. You either love or hate. I hear of so many buying it back. I say KEEP.

h999r · 11 May 2012, 04:59 PM

I'll keep the Deepsea.
