THICK? The entire watch is THICK. There are many quartz watches out there that are so thin your pulse will disturb their movement. It is so high that you have to check the weather so it doesn't blow over. Too large of a face? It is so large that it stops cars if the sun hits it in the wrong direction from the glare.
The lady datejust is an option for a smaller wear.
I personally want to wear a watch that say's what it looks like and looks like what it say's. Yeah it's THICK.

The DSSD was my first Rolex. Over the last year, I have had desk dive marks occupy several links on the band. I stole my wife's David Yurman "polishing" clothes and have hand good success buffing out and polishing up the band. Pics to come soon.

I love mine! I remember when I met face to face with a TRF seller to buy it and a few hours later I took it diving...

tattooedfagin · 28 October 2011, 08:08 PM

i shut up shop for the afternoon just to travel to an AD & try a DSSD on, we couldn't reach a cash deal so the following week i closed again & managed to bag one BNIB from another AD with 10% off....easily the most comfortable watch in my collection & the one that gets the most wear too

yannis · 29 October 2011, 05:41 AM

Nice pics guys, here are some of mine

peter2704 · 31 October 2011, 07:36 AM

Must admit i loved the dssd from day one ,quite a few didnt like it but i think now the general feeling is its one hell of a watch.I got mine mid 2010,i had just dropped on an sd at the time and was really chuffed to own a grail.The dssd was always there and i promised myself i would own one one day,then the chance of a bnib dssd came along and i though sod it! I took the plunge and dare not tell the wife how much ,but when i look back at what i paid and what they are now im so glad i did,i dont think i could afford one now.heres my 2 faves

I am very exited, tomorrow I'll do the last test of the DS ...
and if all goes well???
I'll be back tomorrow, at home with the DeepSea (I'm afraid and I'm happy at the same time)

yannis · 2 November 2011, 01:36 AM

Nice pics Puffy!

Where are all the DSSD fans out there? There's not enough chatter about arguably the coolest watch made.

I really like my Deep Sea Dea Dweller. Too big, too heavy, too tall, too bad ass - just the way I like it.

Would it be my only Rolex choice? No.

Being blessed such as to have more than one, it had to be part of the fleet.

Was wondering if the size difference is so significant as it appears above. I know the Sub is 40mm & the DSSD is 43mm but does 3mm really make that much of a difference? Seems it dwarfs the sub.

Thanks
