As i always do in this forum i keep things short and to the point if you had the option of buying a deep sea blue dial or a yacht master 2 in steel which one would you choose any why? (I already own a ceramic sub no date)

SeaDweller50 · 14 May 2015, 02:42 AM

DSSD Blue. I've never liked YM's.

wiswrist · 14 May 2015, 02:59 AM

I recently traded my black dial DSSD toward a SS YM II.

I really love both watches but would give the edge to the YM II. The price differential between the D-Blue DSSD and the black dial DSSD is just too big to justify IMO. When the D-Blues come down in price I might consider it.

tkerrmd · 14 May 2015, 03:04 AM

I had both, now have neither, so....if again probably the new Deep Blue- C

Hey Tom, I'm surprised to hear you say that you'd give the DSSD the nod. You mentioned the YM II was your daily wearer for two years.

I'd go with the YM II- clean, great color scheme and I find the DSSD too bulky and too much bezel. I love heft...bulk not so much. If they had watches made of osmium, I'd be into it.

well when I give an answer it really isn't what I would do as much as what I think would be the best answer for the OP asking. the DSSD is more of a "standard" (kinda sub) type look and the YMII is really a different look. also much more polished parts, also says YACHTMASTER II pretty big on it if you don't own a yacht

then with the Deep Blue version, makes it even cooler, no right answers both awesome watches

The deep sea feels like an anchor on the wrist i tried the black dial i havent tried the YM2 in steel though only in white gold which i didnt like at all from that grey bezel.

Isn't the YMII heavier than the DSSD in certain PM's?

westsiderkg · 14 May 2015, 03:23 AM

DSSD - Under the radar 99% of the time.

YMII - Fully Radar traceable 99% of the time.

Both awesome watches and would like to own a YMII someday myself.

Unless you are a monster of a person, any watch the size of a DSSD will not fly under the radar. The YMII at least doesn't look like the typical Rolex.

YMII gets my vote.

I should have elaborated...In my case, 6'4" - 275lb...yes, a bit of a "monster", so I need a large watch with 8"+ wrists. So, I agree with this statement, but both are large by comparison....the YMII is much more in terms of "flash" by comparison and garners more attention IMHO.

I am 6'2 and the regular sub looks a bit small but both the YM2 and the DSSD are 44mm

Jack T · 14 May 2015, 04:08 AM

If you want something distinctive, the YM2. The DSSD is, to most people, just a Sub on steroids.

thomaspp · 14 May 2015, 04:17 AM

Ymii!

Kneecough · 14 May 2015, 05:49 AM

I voted YMII, I also have a subC and like that it is more distinct. Also, would be nice to have a white faced watch.

Abdullasaif · 14 May 2015, 06:02 AM

Thanks for the replies, i actually have to try both of them because i only tried the YM2 in white gold and DSSD with a black dial. Cant make up my mind yet and its a bit early for a watch picked up my previous watch less than a month ago. Need to try a blue dial DSSD and a steel YM2 first and compare.

AK797 · 14 May 2015, 06:20 AM

The YM2 is better balanced, plus you have a Diver already.

Galion · 14 May 2015, 01:28 PM

DSSD x 1000

jbsmith · 15 May 2015, 01:15 AM

D blue for sure. I love date function and would never use timer function of ymII. Not to mention I like the looks, clasp, no pcls, and engineering of dssd.

DeeTee · 15 May 2015, 01:18 AM

YM2 bro.....

Just bought a SS Yachtmaster 2 and it is beautiful. The SS Deepsea did nothing for me.

DSSD blue dial

teager · 15 May 2015, 08:58 AM

A blue YM2 has been sat in my local AD's window for weeks now but the DSSD D blue has a fairly long waiting list.

D-blue gets my vote, the YM2 doesn't do anything for me.

braningan · 15 May 2015, 02:42 PM

DSSD blue dial

Cinquecento · 15 May 2015, 02:56 PM

The yachtmaster is way more comfortable IMO. I voted YMII

Royalex · 16 May 2015, 01:01 AM

YM2 looks very nice.

Gerry62 · 18 May 2015, 01:35 AM

Deep Sea (Blue) is my choice
