DSSD - How tall/high does it sit on the wrist?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some specs on the DSSD. How high does it sit on the wrist? Could some one measure is out for me in cm... comparing it to the Classic SD!

Thanks!

Kevin

Even though i hated to admit it, it does sit too high on anyones wrist. It was my daily wear for 3 months but had to admit to myself that the Sub was much better proportioned. Sold mine on here a few weeks ago and no regrets.

What a monster. Understand the attraction as a tool, hands down, no argument. Not so sure I understand the attraction as a daily-wearer for those of us who have 7.5 inch wrists!

I have a 7 inch wrist and wore the deepsea for 15 hours a day and the watch was very comfortable to wear. But I sold the deepsea because i was nervous wearing a $8,000 watch. Now i wear a $95.00 Casio.

Love the G-Shock - really only $95? I thought they were £500.

Well they do say beauty is in the eye of the be-holder,IMHO it just looks out of proportion.
