Icon17 Unveiling the DSSD **PICS**

So, it finally arrived a week ago and what's not to say about this beast of a watch that hasn't already been said

It hasn't left my wrist much since I got it a week ago - one of the comfiest watches I've ever owned. Sized properly, it just feels unreal on your wrist

Just an amazing piece of engineering; case, dial, crystal etc.

The bracelet is in a class of its own - how cool and convenient is the Glidelock clasp with the Fliplock extension??

For those of you who are on the fence about the DSSD aka the Beast, let me confirm:
  • It's not top heavy
  • Weight is not an issue
  • Height is not an issue
  • The dial is not cluttered
  • Fits very comfortably under a shirt cuff
  • Bracelet does not feel or look thin or flimsy when on the wrist

This is just an all round super cool and comfortable watch. The only bad point about the DSSD is I didn't buy it sooner

Anyway here are the obligatory shots - and yes, you CAN fit it under a shirt cuff

AMAZING watch!!!

I'm not sure that I agree that it fits under a shirt very well based on your pics though.

Man...I WANT that watch...

I am not too clear ... bottom line, do you like it?

I did try one today, and man does it look nice! I am convinced I can wear it. We'll see.

Superb complement to the rest of my collection, really shows how the brand has evolved

Looks bloody good! My favourite of the modern sports. My wrists are far too small for it though; My cuff would be occupied by approximately half watch and half wrist. There are those loopy cuff extender thingies... might make it more comfortable under a cuff.
