I think DSSD looks good on your wrist !

MortgageGuy · 4 July 2011, 02:07 PM

DSSD does look great but IMO I would still grab the Sub C, IMO it is the perfect size Rolex for any/all occasions

Andad · 4 July 2011, 02:10 PM

Hi A,

The DSSD looks good.

SeamasterGMT · 4 July 2011, 06:11 PM

Both look good to me. Your question may not be answered honestly by some people who will just give their preference based on which watch they own or like more.
IMO, both watches look good on your wrist so go with your heart.

will do mate. so far it's DSSD but still debating on whether it's too similar to my Sub....

The only issue would be if the height of the DSSD would be an issue for you (depends on what you are going to wear it with).

thanks mate. the height has always been one of my reservations but the DSSD actually fits amazingly well under the cuff.... and comfy too..

the last thing i'd want is something that screams look at me... met plenty of clowns with DSSDs and once i complimented a guy on his DSSD to which he retorted "no it's a Rolex..."

agree mate. height is something you'll get used to whereas those disproportionate lugs aren't easy to ignore...

The diameter and weight of the DS are okay but I feel that it is a little too thick for daily wear. Sure spec-wise nothing comes close to the DS but the thickness is something that I couldn't get over. I did the same comparison last Friday. YMMV. Good luck and I hope you'll be happy with your choice.

thanks mate. the specs are phenomenal, what an engineering feat! but the overall size and similarity to my 16610 Sub is what's holding me back...

re-assuring to know that people think i have the wrist for it

i reckon 40mm is about right, although my Omega SMP is 42... can't wait to try on the new Exp II

hi Adam, thanks mate

DSSD is definitely leading.... will see what i decide to do

true we may get a few views that are based on individual preference however i do agree that the DSSD looks nicer because of the harmony that exists between case and bracelet...
not pulling the trigger just yet, going to try both on over the next few months and then make a decision....

joker01 · 4 July 2011, 08:52 PM

Both look good. But if I had a choice it would be the DSSD.

Johny · 4 July 2011, 09:35 PM

both look good anders. so it's up to you bud.

The Joker · 4 July 2011, 09:48 PM

Wasn't particulary keen on either, mostly because of the points the others have mentioned.

But think I'm warming to the DSSD, maybe cos saw it in the film Unknown the other night. Helps seeing it on the wrist of a film star. (I'm shallow like that

)

I think your wrist can pull it off.

TimeOnHand · 4 July 2011, 10:46 PM

that the DSSD looks great on you!

What do you like?

RicharddeJong · 4 July 2011, 11:06 PM

To me, as a newbie Rolex lover, they all look great. I like the Seadweller because it is such a big block of steel. Looks like you can roll a submarine over it without even scratching the crystal...

ev8296 · 4 July 2011, 11:10 PM

DeepSea

BeekerMuppet · 5 July 2011, 12:26 AM

Sub C vote her. But I think the DS is too big a watch by default..

fstnlgl · 5 July 2011, 04:27 AM

Go with the DSSD . After a day or so, the the size does not matter and the glidelock gives you perfect fit.

Explorertwo · 5 July 2011, 06:53 AM

I like the subc far more, but... Since you own a 16610, i'd go for the deep see. But why am i posting, you've made your choice already reffering to your reply's, what the heck: go for the dssd!!!!!!!

I thought the GMT was yours but I wasn't sure. Honestly if it were me I would get the Sub-C. Every time I try on the DSSD I just find it to large for me. However it isn't me and this is your choice. You need to get the one that you like the most.

Good luck with your choice.

Dan

barstoolman · 5 July 2011, 08:07 AM

Although I am a huge fan of the DSSD, your wrist does not look like it can handle it unless you start hitting the gym :-) Go with the Sub-C.....not only will it look much better on you but you'll own a true classic.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
