I love the bracelet on the DSSD, but it is just too big and heavy for me

One monster of a watch. That is for sure.

notice how one is really nice and the other



but, seriously... it is interesting how the dial size is virtually the same, relative to the actual watch size.

Thanks for that - a real revelation for me - I had no idea how much larger the DSSD was.

Great pics, I love the size (diameter) of the DSSD but the thickness is a bit over the top for comfort for me

you actually don't notice the size of the DSSD unless you put it side by side with another rolex watch

Both are beautiful watches, but is the DSSD wearable?

DSSD is awesome. Anything smaller than the newer supercase watches look tiny on my wrist. I was originally torn between the GMTIIc and SubC, but now I'm stuck between the DSSD and GMTIIC. As mentioned above the diameter of the DSSD is great but we'll see if the thickness is indeed too much. Going to try one on tomorrow :)

DSSD is a WATCH.. big, strong, and powerful. I love my DSSD and I always like seeing people talk about how "big and nasty" it is.

Love the DSSD - so over-specced you can only love it

DSSD all day long. My friend had his 14060 on his wrist on Saturday and tried my deepsea on. After his initial surprise at how big it was when he put it on he said how it didn't look too bad on his wrist and that the Ribg Lock System was barely noticeable!! He did finish by saying it probably was a bit big but is now on the lookout for a GMT IIC so if anyone fancies a deal, 2005 14060 serviced last year at Rolex give me a shout and I'll put you in touch.
