Well, I went back and forth for a while between the DSSD and the Sub-C, but finally decided for the later (went to the AD, tried them on and posted here as well: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=160816. At that time, I was actually favoring the DSSD).

Some quick pictures for your enjoyment are attached.

Needless to say the watch is fantastic. The reason I opted for the Sub was, firstly, that this is my first Rolex, and the Sub is THE classic, IMHO. Secondly, I intend to have the watch for many years, and was afraid I could eventually tire of some DSSD details I didn't care for very much, like the inner ring text and the overall height. Both pieces are amazing, though, and I'm sure I would enjoy any of those watches for a long time.

Thanks for all the opinions throughout the choosing process!
