Rolex DSSD, it's the, IMHO, best looking watch in the group.
And as we all know it is better to look good than to feel good.

mike · 19 January 2012, 08:51 AM

Of the ones listed the Ploprof would be my choice. Having an insert that has luminosity might be a good thing.

However if it were me,

Might as well have crazy accuracy and tritium along with a luminous bezel.

Jannal · 19 January 2012, 08:52 AM

Even though I sold my DSSD, I would still pick the DSSD.

nauticajoe · 19 January 2012, 09:18 AM

The BEAST has my vote.....DSSD

m5blitzer · 19 January 2012, 09:25 AM

DSSD first but the 9300 PO Liquid Metal is a very close second. I love my 45.5mm PO and won't mind a DSSD to rotate.

Psmith · 19 January 2012, 09:28 AM

Out of those list, the DSSD

Given a free choice... Blancpain 500 Fathoms (~ 3,000 ft)

subtona · 19 January 2012, 09:31 AM

chose deepsea but SD

...is plenty deep...and a modern classic

cdnwatchguy · 19 January 2012, 09:37 AM

No question.

It is relatively faithful to the original, yet updated with some newer technology like the coaxial movement. Actually fits quite nice for a large watch and the fit and finish is excellent. All that and you can get one lightly used on the mesh bracelet for just over $5g.

Rollie2011 · 19 January 2012, 09:38 AM

Either the DS or the Seamaster.

I voted Deepsea

Darlinboy · 19 January 2012, 09:43 AM

I would pick the Rolex Deep Sea, and I am sure that will be the winner on this forum.

Your selections are very diverse in style. Which one do YOU prefer?

Get that one.

esm · 19 January 2012, 09:57 AM

DSSD, as it is the most normal looking watch

I think the IWC deep 2 looks the best but is hard to accept a watch cost over 15k Usd that uses the same movement as the 3.5k basic aquatimer

Kanger · 19 January 2012, 01:06 PM

If you have the wrist size to pull it off, the IWC and Ploprof are stunning in real life!

liptonnr · 19 January 2012, 02:02 PM

I honestly and strongly believe the "heat" you got wasn't due to the fact that you like Rolex more than Seiko but rather because you thought it was okay to bash brands that aren't Rolex (and that you obviously know next to nothing about) with invalid and fallacious arguments.

As well, the fact that you try to make other members' comments sound ridiculous because they go against your beliefs and writing such a sarcastic comment here is, in my humble opinion, quite impolite and inappropriate to say the least.

tray_18 · 19 January 2012, 06:02 PM

Agree. SD4000 is the nr 1 deep sea diver as far as I am concerned

padi56 · 19 January 2012, 09:37 PM

First are we talking about these watches to be used as a tool for diving or are we talking about desk divers only.

lyktestolpe · 19 January 2012, 09:57 PM

I prefer the Omega Seamaster. The DSSD is simply to large for me.

Jede89 · 19 January 2012, 10:04 PM

God the Omega POC Liquid Metal looks awesome! Never seen one in person, IMHO the Deep Sea is just to chucky.. Looked ridiculous on my wrist!

Puffy · 19 January 2012, 10:08 PM

DSSD for me.. just looks the cleanest and how a tool watch should look

Andad · 19 January 2012, 10:10 PM

Can't go past the DSSD engineering excellence.

Happytime · 19 January 2012, 10:14 PM

Rolex

Varoom · 19 January 2012, 10:15 PM

DSSD is the one i choose and bought recently.

Brisman · 19 January 2012, 10:16 PM

Save money, go the Accutron. Thought I'd better edit, just kidding.
