Put it on your wrist, look at it and think " this very watch I am wearing has been pressure tested in a Comex tank to endure not just 12,800ft of depth pressure... but 16,000ft... deeper than the Titanic currently lies at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean; and here it is on my wrist, second hand still sweeping along without a care in the world"
It's nice to see another black-dial owner too. I love the JC D-Blue; but the black is really elegant, classic, timeless and stealthy. I wear it with a suit, shirt, t-shirts, gym gear and it always looks on-point.
Enjoy it!

Thank Ryan, I felt some pangs of guilt handing over my SubC but the DSSD is stunning. Going to resize the bracelet this evening once the missing links arrive and then it's going to get some serious wrist time! Meanwhile my Explorer 2 polar feels so diminutive although I still love that watch.
