Sub C... the DSSD is huge! I would only wear it when needed... like diving in the antarctic or something.

Def Sub C.

DSSD is too chunky and its height/depth is disproportionate to the bracelet and your wrist

Sub C, but--

I saw a DSSD on a gentleman at the grocery store a few days ago--skinny guy with a skinny wrist, and it looked completely ridiculous. However, you can pull off the DSSD. Go with the one that speaks to you.

SubC all the way. That thing has grown in its presence so much I mistook some of the first group of pics for the DSSD.

Go with DSSD:

1. Because it looks good on you and
2. EVERYONE in the world will be wearing the Sub-C. (Just look at this thread.)

I know its #1 for a reason and I will probably end up with a Sub-C myself but Im still in honeymoon phase with my DSSD.

Stand out from the crowd. I had the 16610 and every work function or business trip I was on it seemed that we all had the same watch on. Since I stepped up to the Deep Sea, I havent seen another one yet. Kind of a cool feeling actually.

Deepsea for sure. While touring around Spain this summer, the sub appeared to basically be a woman's watch. Embrace the size of the Deepsea and don't look back.

No surprises from me....Deep Seal all the way.

The Sub C is a great watch but I don't like the case and to me it just looks like any other sub...

The DS is a whole different animal.

My vote is DS

Here is the thing, I actually think the DSSD is better looking with the domed crystal - sans cyclops - and slightly larger case, but the thickness of the case is a killer.

If I can revise my statement, as only/everyday watch I'd go for the Sub-C. If you got plenty on rotation and want something extra superlative/unique - go for the DSSD.

The submariner looks great on your wrist - It's a good fit.

this will really depend on your wrist size...its SDDS all the way for those with a 7.5"/+... a subc is way too thin imho.

They both look good. For me, (and I have some big watches) I prefer the smaller sub as it is more comfortable.

DSSD is too much.
Sub-c is balanced.

DSSD is like hanging a clock on your arm.
Sub-c is a true wrist watch, IMO.

I don't like how thick the DS looks. SUB-C gets my vote. But wear what you like

I think the lower profile Sub C looks/is more complimentary on your wrist.
