It was a tough decision but

I decided to part with my DSSD I really liked the DSSD a lot but for the daily grind it was just a bit too thick. I will miss it though as it has so many things going for it and was a stunning watch to look at. So now the waiting begins for my new incoming which I can't wait to see in the flesh. Got to love this forum and flying by the seat of your pants gonna be a long couple weeks

Congrats. Can't wait to see the wrist shot.

RIP DSSD. Hopefully it will have a better life with its new owner.

I did the same thing and got the subc instead. BLNR is a good choice.

I'd once owned the DSSD then sold it (too big for daily wear) for a Red Sub 1680.
Later I'd sold the 1680, got fed up setting the date (non quick set date) because the watch was only worn on weekends / when not at work.
