I think that the designers and some fans of this watch have been suckered into the concept of "bigger is better". I do not agree. Other posters have stated that this is a "tool watch" yet a prime part of the definition of a tool is surely something that is suitable for its purpose?
For 99.9% of people who wear a Rolex the depth rating of a sub is more than sufficient. Most of the features on the DSSD are redundant for the average wearer [except to bolster the wearer's ego with depth envy]. Over engineering does not make for a good tool.
If I wanted to hammer a nail into my wall - I would use a good quality normal hammer. I would not use a sledgehammer on the grounds that it was bigger, more manly and could hammer with more force than a normal hammer!!
This watch is not a tool watch IMHO, it is a watch for stock brokers and lawyers to play one-upmanship with and Rolex know this - that the customer they are marketing this to.
Can't wait till we get the first "Can I wear my DSSD in the shower" type post !
