New Deepsea

Picked up my new Deepsea yesterday from D.M Robinsons in Manchester UK!!

Excellent service, though no discount on this particular model

I can only describe this watch as an engineering benchmark.

Yes, it's big!, yes, you know it's on your wrist!, but yes, yes, yes.... you smile every time you look at it!!!

Fantastic

Rob

Very nice

Do you have very large wrists? It doesn't look as big on you as on some other I have seen?

Wow it is almost as if it was custom made to fit your wrist. It looks very good on you. I have seen tons of pictures and not too many people can actually pull that monster off, but you seem to do a great job of it.

Guys,

Thanks very much for the comments, I'm over the moon with this piece!

As I will be wearing it all day, every day, I did, initially worry about size and weight, however, after just a morning's wear, I'm now used to it and don't really notice it's there!

To answer a couple of your questions; 1. I have an 8" wrist 2. I would never disclose whether or not I shave my arms

Rob

Rob,

You can stop straining your muscles now !!!!!

After a few days you'll get use to the weight!!!

Superb purchase my man.......!!! How long had the AD had it before you got your wrist through it?

Welcome to the club Rob.

Welcome to the club Rob.

Ha, ha, could only keep my arm up for one shot at a time!!

Not sure how long it had been with the AD. Definitely not a display model though!

Nice Watch

I enjoy my DSSD too

RJC, you a body builder???, I only wax my head

I'm kinda like a Persian Cat, if I were shaved I'd be too skinny to wear a DeepSea

Sweet watch, looks great. Not so sure I can say the same thing for the waxed arms though...come on man, be proud you've gone through puberty! Never mind on the waxing...I see a well worn razor in the background of the last pic. Yikes!!!
