Congrats and welcome to the DSSD club!

Like you, I often find the beauty of the DSSD to be quite distracting, especially that domed crystal that makes everything underneath it look so beautiful......

Enjoy it in good health!

thank you again for all your inputs to the previous thread, which really helped alot and finally I made the choice, given there was the sudden announcement of price increase here in Hong Kong, I had to jump on it before the price went up!

DEEP SEA it is!

I was very excited and wearing the watch right now, looking at it every 10 mins!!!

I would like to also take up abit of space here to share some of my own considerations during the journey in making this very very very tough choice between 2 spectacular watches:

I finally chose the DEEP SEA becoz:

1) I was out to purchase a deep dive watch, and I am very impressed with the super engineering behind DEEPSEA, and the feeling of that the concept, research, technology and touch on my wrist is stronger than the SD.

2) I have a Sub-date in my collection which already represents the Rolex history for subs and SDs for me. So DEEPSEA thus will still epresent the SD line for me in my collection

3) The price I was offered was quite unbeatable, given the price increase.

4) It just looks good on my wrist!! (yes, no modesty here!)

I have also found a few details which made my attracted to the DS more as I wear it now:

- the domed crystal is an absolute beauty! that Subtlety and Shape, shouting Sexy!
- glad to have the bracelet links all brushed hairline finished, unlike the daytona or GMTiiC with a mirrored center link, which retains this DEEPSEA much more tough and tool watch look.
- the Titanium backcover gives a warm touch to the wrist, very neat detail, not to mention its practical purpose as to allow the watchcase to get tighter as the pressure builds, making it more indestructible the deeper it goes!
- carrying this piece of art and science work on my wrist is certainly comforting, knowing it is for sure of the top 3 deep dive watch in the world!

Thank you all again! have to look at the time again now!! ; )
hope you like the pictures!

Eddie

You did great!!!

You will not regret it...

Congrats on your latest timepiece! Definitely can relate to how you feel. Personally, I'm looking down at mine every 5 minutes or so here!

Not because I need to know the time of course. rather, just to immerse myself once again in the sheer beauty, robustness, advanced engineering prowess, sporty style and iconic stature of the beast!

:ag ree:

definitely one of Rolex's finest timepieces ever IMHO. you chose wisely. welcome and enjoy!

BEST REGARDS

Joey,
here goes couple shots of the watch on the wrist at the valve angle. it doesn't look too huge , but of course much thicker than the other Rolexes.

I did compare it with my AP ROO, and the top thickness is not so different, nor the weight of the watch. I have to say now that I have it, I regret not getting it early when it first came out!!!

cheers

brownbear · 7 July 2011, 09:17 AM

very nice Eddie,
I have a SD which I love and now I want an DSSD also.
I suppose that if I had the DSSD, I would want to add an SD.

MortgageGuy · 7 July 2011, 10:14 AM

Looks great, I have been missing my DSSD as of late and now even more... Congrats and wear in the best of health

the baddest of them all...
3900M and 44MM

vukotab · 7 July 2011, 10:06 PM

Since you already have Sub Date, DSSD is just enough different to stand on it`s own, good choice!

Congrats!

You guys are killing me with the DSSD pics - I sense an itch coming on!

buddy13 · 30 July 2011, 12:11 AM

You did the right choice. the new Sub-C, DSSD are SO much better than the old Sub's, SD's...which might have been good for a 3000USD watch. But no more than that I'm afraid..

Don't get me wrong. I would like another 16610 and 11660 in my collection and kick myself for not buying one back then when they were priced accordingly. Now they are just too expensive :-(...

Rolex HAD to upgrade the watch and not only the price every year

blackout · 30 July 2011, 12:16 AM

Good pick! I love mine! Congrats!

OneMoreSi · 30 July 2011, 01:32 AM

Excellent choice.

Ski Dweller · 30 July 2011, 01:38 AM

Enjoy your watch in good health. I opted for a Daytona in white for the dress shirt, and have my black Sea Dweller for casual affairs. I just can't get on board with the DSSD, but the redesign distinguished it from the sub, and allowed Rolex to increase the price beyond that of the sub while at the same time, reviving a dead model. It was marketing brilliance, and I deeply respect that. I wonder if and when they'll evolve the Daytona more. Maybe the next dead cat bounce will be the Milgauss in 65mm?
