went to pick up my new Sub-C but...

[wilfreb]

i tried it on, a true beauty, classic, timeless, the new case design is excellent, and i was just about to take my hard earned $7,200 to pay for it but...

my wife was looking at other Rolex and she called me and ask me to try another watch on, and it was a Deepsea, right away i was blown away!

compared both, tried both but the DS was just to nice and looked excellent on my wrist.

i sold my Daytona cuz of the size, the new Sub looked nice but not as nice as the Deepsea.

since it came out i desired it but reading reviews saying that it was pig-ugly, uncomfortable, too heavy, the ring inside the dial, too thick blah blah blah so i let it pass

but let me tell you that this watch is a beauty, is very comfortable, its not that heavy [feels less heavy than my Aquaracer 500M] and yes is thick but thats nice, the ring in the dial is almost invisible, it doesn't pop at you, after all it feels and looks superbly on my wrist!






if i could add something on this watch is a anti-reflective inner coating cuz the domed crystal reflects too much.






my advise: dont let others opinion make a desition for you, go and try it on, its a superb timepiece!

now i know i'm wearing a watch!

Couldn't agree more!

DSSD looks pretty good on you - how do you like its height?


i have tried a few times to like it, but the height of it didnt do it for me...

[Rolesor]

[Lol-x]

No doubt about it, looks great on your wrist

yes is thick, very but IMO its well balanced and looks awesome, its a classic design into a modern case.

[WatchnRoll]

Awesome DSSD! I also prefer the DS to the new Sub C. Enjoy that great DS. I enjoy mine everyday!

[mjm800]

As a SD fanboy I can only say.

[tgoose1]

Well if you decide things ain't working out too good and need to make a change down the road, you can always blame this last minute decision on your wife, I'm sure she will understand!

[CoopJr]

They are very impressive once on the wrist!

[psv]

I think it is by far the most attractive Rolex diver out there with the matte dial, maxi hands/plots, ceramic bezel, domed crystal and lack of cyclops. It is just that the darn thickness/weight wore me down.

Big congrats on that bad boy!

[andrew79]

congrats

[SDDS17]

Congrats on your choice!!! I ignored the negative feedback as well, and have not regretted it one bit!!!! Enjoy!!!!

[kcmo]

Wow, that really looks awesome on you!!! Congrats and enjoy it!!!

[Watch Fan]

Good choise! Congratulations and enjoy it. I love mine.

[ParisDakarBmw]

The dssd is a beefy sub, and looks awesome. I like the larger size of the dssd, and wish they had one in stock.

If you can afford the deep sea, why in the world would you buy the new Sub? Isn't the deep sea superior? Can't you get a deep sea for 7K these days?

[nauticajoe]

Congrats on the DS! She's a beauty!

[beerformeplz]

Nice choice.

$7K including tax? That would be some deal! I think that would be around 28% off the sticker price here in Michigan.

Congrats, good choice.

[Hooper]

It needs a Cyclopse in my opinion !

[vitix]

felicidades!!

[cajerseyboy]

When I read the title of your post I thought - here we go again about the new sub c. bla bla bla. Then BAMB! Sweet DeepSea pics pop up! I've had one for about a month and a half and love it more and more every day. Enjoy it! Nice purchase!

[Sose]

To each, his own!!

Beautiful! Enjoy!

[scl6118]

Everybody has different taste, that's what makes this forum so great and interesting! I tried the DSSD on for the second time last week and really didn't care for it at all. I'm very glad that it makes you happy though, congrats!!

I'd grab one in a heartbeat if it fit me as well as it did the OP.

[fly4food84]

Way too big for my skinny wrist but WOW what a good looking watch!!!


<----- JEALOUS!!
