The PP is the ultimate dedicated diver. It is outrageous and fun. The DSSD is just a really big Submariner IMO.

The PP seems to fit what your looking for better than the DSSD. It takes a lot of watch to make a DSSD look understated.

The DSSD looks great on your wrist and can be perceived as a 'normal' watch depending on the owner. Not so much with the Ploprof. IMHO it depends on the watches you already own. I see a black Sub on your first pic, and if it's yours I think the PP will stand out more and that's why I voted Ploprof.

the pp was made as a true tool watch ,,, forget the form , look at the function ,,
red doxa in the earlier pics is nice ,,, mind you a seiko monster would fit the bill too.

The Ploprof is a very cool piece but the DSSD would be an easy decision for me. And I'd go D Blue!

Ploprof is a acquired taste, and the DSSD is much more conservative. I prefer the Ploprof on rubber, and never been a fan of mesh straps, but maybe that's an acquired taste as well. I think on orange rubber is one of the funner watches available, but definitely might be hard as like a daily wear.

I was going to say this as well but knocking around the beach with a vintage PloProf (esp in and out of the water) may not be the best idea. I know, you can get it pressure tested, but I would feel hesitant to wear one if you are going to be in the water a ton.

But, other than that, I would definitely go vintage PP over either the new PP or the DSSD. In a heartbeat.

There are actually plenty of NOS and service parts on the market so there's no worry there. Mine had a service dial, hands, bezel and seals so it was effectively a new watch bar the case. I wouldn't wear one that hadn't been properly services and re-conditioned, though.

If you just want a fun watch to wear to the beach in the summer, the PloProf hands down.

I appreciate all the feedback brothers, thanks for taking the time. Ultimatly I'm looking for a stand out tool watch. So I'll be picking up the ploprof as well as the Deepsea. But plofrof will be here first.

PP has a longer history than the DSSD, just saying..... Can't go wrong with either but you will certainly have more $ left in your pocket if you choose the PP.

Both are cool but you might get tired of the mesh bracelet on the Omega...

Omega PP! Looks more cool. Better choice for hanging out on beach/bars. Just looks cooler and with shark mesh bracelet.
