I owned the Deepsea for a year or two and found it to be unbalanced, uncomfortable and the bracelet is sorely undersized. I have large 8.25" wrists and it just did not work for me. Maybe it would for you. I think it is also extreme engineering overkill that has little purpose. Also the large case of the DSSD with small dial does not look good to me. YMMV.


My feelings exactly on the Deepsea. The geometry of the case was off. Too thick for the diameter. Also a pain to wear with a suit/dress shirt. I'm trading my Deepsea for a GMT II.
