Pics Of DSSD With Dress Clothes Please

I was wondering if anyone wears dress clothes with their DSSD. People wear Brietling which are big is the DSSD out of place or is it just a little more in your face?

This topic comes up every once in awhile and usually ends in a brawl!!!! I'll save everybody some time. 1/2 of the people responding will say that the DSSD is not a dress watch and shouldn't be worn with a suit/Tux ect regardless of what it cost. The other 1/2 will say that it will go with anything, and for some strange reason think that they're a fictional English agent who wears one on a too narrow fabric strap. I'm in the first group.

Here is a quick screen-scrape from one of the times I wore a Deepsea/DSSD with a suit. I'm 6'1"/185cm and fit, but still that thing doesn't go well with a dress shirt with cuff links and/or with a suit. It just looks bad and wrong, in least to my eyes. Never doing that again.

I agree that it's thick, but I still think it looks fine in a suit and frequently wear it with my "Men in Black" suits working for the government.

just because some people read Moby Dick 150 years ago, does that mean it cant be read again?

Wilfreb,

You seem to have alot of women hanging on you which leads me to two questions:

1. What's you job?

2. Can I have it?

Each to their own: I don't have a DSSD but wear all my watches - Sub', SD, Avenger Seawolf, PO - with business dress at work and with a wetsuit / drysuit at weekends. I think a chunky dive watch is more suitable for wearing with French cuffs, than a dress watch with a wetsuit.
