Hey guys, I've got that 'need' for a new piece.
I currently have a Sub Hulk, a GMT Batman and a Tudour Blackbay Blue.
I was looking for something a bit more dressy and nearly bought a SubC two tone Bluesy, love that sunburst dial!
Then I tried a Deepsea d-blue, wow what a watch, but £1.5k more.
Now I can't decide, please help

albmich · 11 February 2016, 06:48 AM

I was in this same position recently and got the TT bluesy. It pops. I highly suggest u do the same

Kneecough · 11 February 2016, 06:50 AM

Not sure I would consider the DSSD Blue a "dressier" watch... Amazing piece though.

If you want something more dressy try a dj.
You already have 3 sports watches.

Yeh I know but can't get over the smaller crown on the DJ.
And on my 8 1/2" wrist it just feels small.

Hmmm...well...if you're looking for something a little more 'dressy' -- out of those I would go with the TT Bluesy --- BUT --- having said that...there is something very special about the DSSD.

It has some serious wrist presence, and for me got A LOT of attention when people would see mine....it can't help to stand out, but not sure I would say it is 'dressy'...

...then again...I honestly think that you can wear just about ANY reference with shorts and a golf shirt to a tux...so...

just my .02

good luck!!!

ltmgeller · 11 February 2016, 07:02 AM

TT bluesy would Bemydd vote out of the two short of getting them both.

Osrus · 11 February 2016, 07:13 AM

No really stuck on dressy, it's just I recently sold a TT Aqua Terra as I was not wearing it much and thought I needed another goldy watch. But then again would I wear a Bluesy, work attire is just shirt and chinos, don't do suits much.

Now I've writen it down I think I 'need' this!

Investr · 11 February 2016, 07:32 AM

super easy.... Add some gold!!!! TT all the way

mmmmm.....

why not try a watch without a functional bezel? dressier (to me anyways) would mean non-sport model. you've got a great sport watch collection whenever you want to switch it up.

maybe a milgauss, dj2 or check the sofa for £1.5k and get the dssd.

kultschar · 11 February 2016, 09:21 AM

Deepsea with your sized wrists! You will love it!!!!

Urosfan · 11 February 2016, 09:39 AM

Deepsea

brian89 · 11 February 2016, 09:40 AM

Bafflingbs · 11 February 2016, 12:51 PM

Tough decision, to be sure. I think I would go with the Deapsea. That is, if money were not an issue.

touchdowntodd · 11 February 2016, 03:22 PM

Dssd... x1000000

sensui · 11 February 2016, 03:34 PM

Definitely give the SD4000 a look, I'd go that direction over either.

Ruud Van Driver · 11 February 2016, 04:25 PM

No help from me, I'm afraid. You're a big boy, make your own mind up

kilyung · 11 February 2016, 04:36 PM

A DSSD and Sub could coexist just fine in any collection so the answer is BOTH!

No SUBctitute · 11 February 2016, 04:42 PM

I've never really liked the "Original Gas Escape Valve Ring Lock System" writing. It just seems kind of tacky and out of place on such a beautiful watch. I understand that its a tool watch, but you don't have to write "Tool Watch" all over the watch to show that its a good tool watch.

jeffgo888 · 11 February 2016, 05:08 PM

DSSD....the KING!

The reality is that the text on the Ringlock is not noticeable in real life. Especially when just glancing at the time.
It's just that it pops out in photos and as a consequence the promotional material.

RXAPPP · 11 February 2016, 10:38 PM

Owned a DSSD now own the Divers Diver SubC. The Deepsea looks great but it's big even on my 7 1/2 wrists. Sits very very high too so it's prone to knocks unless you look after it.
As you have a Sub date and a BB blue get something that isn't a diver but if you really must get the simple sub with no date for the purist in you
