I think the DSSD is one cool looking watch! Of course if you can get a Daytona--and they are out there==classic style!!!

I highly recommend the Deepsea, but you may have a tough choice ahead of you!

my first question is - can you pull off wearing a DSSD? If so, you will be having a tough decision to make. ;-)

two very different watches imo. DSSD is big, heavy and a sporty watch. On the other hand Daytona looks smaller, lighter and more classy. If you try on both you will know what you want.

Between the two I'd have to go with a DSSD. That watch just commands to be worn lol
I find it very "daunting" on my wrists but maybe that's because I'm used to "normal" size watches haha It's beautiful and if it suites your wrist then I'd jump on it! |

DSSD but you may find it looks too similar to GMT IIc which may or may not be an issue for you?

Can't make a bad choice between these two. Both are beautiful!

Both are fabulous watches but if you're buying new, then you'll have to pay either full MRSP or even a premium for the Daytona, whereas with the Deepsea, you'll probably be able to swing a discount.
Personally, I shy away from paying premiums (full list price is the max I would go) so if the choice was mine to make, I'd go with the Deepsea. But as everyone will tell you, best to put both on your wrist and decide which one appeals more. |
