I both but decided to get rid of one...Sold the DSSD (never looked back) and went the BP FF, IMO its the most beautiful Dive watch out there with a refined yet durable movement ...it doesn't get better then the iconic Blancpain FF.
It's a billion times better looking in the flesh

The DSSD is a beast and is one killer watch also but just not as cool as the FF

DSSD for me.

I have both and love both. for ME if I had to give up one it would be the DSSD ONLY because I own several subs, andi could live without the DSSD, but I and never getting rid of either.

Hi own the deep sea and love the watch in rotation with my others, and just last week ordered the FF the model listing for 13800 after the may 1 price hike. I love both for different reasonsb, like which car ibfeel like driving on weekends my M3 or my 911 cab, just take each day by how u feel and you won't go wrong with either, they both sing

I've checked the BP AD's in Bahrain, Saudi, and Dubai - all of them offer at least 20% off list and in Dubai last fall I was offered one for 40% off list....couldn't bite though.....I just kept thinking if I buy the Dark Knight I COULD HAVE had the DSSD!!

As for the "Blancpain" on the side of the case .... well it's on the inside so you would not really see it while wearing it. And even if you did see it, I don't think it's quite as noticeable as the 'Original Gas Escape Valve' on the front of the DSSD.

Here it is on the sailcloth..

thanks mate

It's supremely nice...the bracelet is a work of art. unfortunately I only afford the standard version...still a super watch

This is the kind of reply I was looking for. someone who owned both...and give me his honest opinion about it...

I think I've decided...

Incredible watch mate..may you enjoy it in best health

Keep in mind that AD's will discount the FF pretty heavily, as much as 35% I think.

A Freudian typo, as people have been known to stroke their watches. :)
