my first question would be - can you pull it off wearing a DSSD?

Eric what do you mean mate?

Subc. The DSSD does nothing for me.

fc3s2k · 10 December 2010, 04:16 AM

In your avatar it states SUB C soon. Go for it then, if you don't want it you can always flip it.

thesmallwave · 10 December 2010, 04:17 AM

Yes you right, is my avatar states Sub C soon and is comming tomorrow, but i wanted to hear other opinions regarding Deep Sea vs Sub C, what would they choose and why?

Levi, the DSSD is quite a tall/"massive" piece. depending on your wrist size... not everyone can pull it off.

i have tried many times, the case diameter is fine, but it is just too damn tall

I think what he is getting at is that the DSSD is a serious piece of equipment. It's a very large watch, and you need to know if you are committed to wearing such a large time piece. If you aren't ready to wear such a large watch, I wouldn't reccomend buying it.

I personally (if I had the funds) would get a DSSD, but I'm a pretty big guy and currently wear a Breitling that is almost the same size as the DSSD, so I'm used to the size.

thesmallwave · 10 December 2010, 04:22 AM

I can put the deposit for Sub and save for Deep Sea, as i said above i like them both a lot.
Anybody alse?What do you guys think about both watches?Cheers

Thats funny how people say this

The two watches almost look identical, except for the thickness. Im a DSSD fan and owner, I would never ever say the SUB-C does nothing for me. A Rolex is a ROLEX! I love all of them and especially the SUB series. SUB and DWELLERS all look a like.

Cheers

SaddleSC · 10 December 2010, 04:23 AM

Definitely buy the SubC. Especially if it is your only watch. I consider the DSSD as a specialty piece more than a daily wearer.

I'm confused, didn't you just say that it is coming tomorrow?

I'd say get both.

Engi · 10 December 2010, 04:25 AM

Buy the SubC and enjoy it. The DeepSea is too massive, IMO, while the SubC is the perfect watch for almost every occasion

Ciao

My wrist size is 7 inch/18 cm.Not sure if Deep Sea will be too big for my wrist after i get used to it.I tired once but only for 30 sec, wich wasn't enough to get an ideea.And then comes the weight right?
Wich is worst?Beeing ''massive'' or tall?

TopNotchChach · 10 December 2010, 04:27 AM

try both on and see what you like.

i could have bought both but chose the sub c.
i also had a little incentive of buying the dssd, $1000.00 off.

Tall (height).

was chatting to my AD while wearing the DSSD for quite a long time and as much as i was loving it, the height and weight was an issue for me

i have a 7.25" wrist, and i loved the case diameter. i reckon if my wrist was bigger, say close to 8", it would be an issue.

so i bought the SS GMTIIC instead

If i had the money probably i will get the Deep Sea, but still not very convinced about weight and size per total.As a tool watch is amazing but i guess that size really matter right?

jizeal · 10 December 2010, 04:28 AM

DEEPSEA!!! I would want something that isn't seen a lot for a daily wear.

RJC · 10 December 2010, 04:30 AM

Go with your heart and forget other people's opinions.

Zed Homme · 10 December 2010, 04:30 AM

I have a 7.5 inch wrist and wear the dssd without a problem. Some people are used to larger watches and others aren't. Trying it on in the store doesn't really help because with a watch of this size it needs to be perfectly adjusted to your wrist. I don't have any experience with the sub c but I know I want one. Perhaps I shall be lucky on Saturday...

I'll let you try mine on Saturday at the GTG......

Oh wait, I bet you were talking about actually winning the Sub C...........

JakaB · 10 December 2010, 04:37 AM

If you ever end up in a fight the weight of the DSSD just might save your life. Anybody comes after me I'm going Ric Flair backhanded slap, WOOOOOO!

I believe that is reason enough to wait for the DSSD.
