Which deep diver would you choose ?

[Mike1066]

If you have the wrists to pull these off, and if this is your one and only watch, then go DSSD.

If this is a second or third watch for "fun"/weekends, then go PloProf.

The POC comment? Not meant to be derogatory toward the watch, it's just what I read when I see POC.

I have owned a DSSD and tried on the new Omega PO three handed model. Of the two I would choose the 45.5mm PO with 8500 movement. IMHO the face of the DSSD is to small for the size of the watch.

The Seamaster in question is actually larger

[stusrt]

if price is a consideration -
a standard Omega Planet Ocean - with no close second -

then you got money left over to buy a used SUB to go with it

IMO - the Deepsea is top heavy, and the bracelet narrows in the back making it worse. Probably the most uncomfortable dive watch I have worn.
At 45mm - the PO is VERY comfortable. And if you put the Omega rubber strap on it, very light weight.

[Jmcmen]

Omega is nice but Deapsea really stands out from the four.

[British-GT]

I have owned the omega and currently have the deep sea, it's Rolex all the way for me

[gknix]

I agree, I like the JLC Navy Alarm more.

[snowbird]

Usually I'd go for the Rolex, but in this case I'd go for either the IWC or the Omega PO. Personally I don't like the look of the Ploprof and I find the Deepsea just too bulky.

[Megalobyte]

Another possibility is the 1000m Pam 243.



Or, the discontinued 194, 2500m!



Or the ridiculous 4000m Hublot!

[z32turbo]

Gotta go with the DSSD!!

[Koernel]

Classic.

[htc8p]

i voted planet ocean. i have to say a lot of bias here

If size doesn't matter, you should get a classic 14060M.

[GradyPhilpott]

I would have to pass on all of them.

I'll just never wear a clock on my wrist in any foreseeable circumstance and the fashion does not suit me.

I do admire the technology and craftsmanship, however.

[masterkiller]

PloProf for me, you already have several Rolex judging from you signature and the Omega PloPlor is a nice change that most certanly will atract attention...

Put a orange IsoFrane or orange Omega rubber on and you have a really cool looking diver!

I want to try on a DSSD to see if it makes my left hand knuckles drag on the ground.

I`m thinking on the Rolex Deepsea for my next watch.

[padi56]

Well I am 100% sure that most of these deep divers will never see any water other than a shower or dip in the pool/sea.Most are bought today because of mostly the brag factor mine is bigger goes deeper than yours etc.Now if I was going to use as a Tool watch underwater then all the watches would do the job
