go with what you like...my preference has always been heavier watches. for some reason, i like to feel them on my wrist. that said...i would take a deep sea. less than MSRP doesn't really mean much if the watch is not one that you feel you will enjoy long term. my 2 cents.

I have both DSSD and white dial Daytona and although I love the Daytona it does wear smaller than its 40mm size- and I found the black dial to wear smaller than the white- and its not as legible, and there is no date, and the steel bezel does scratch, but if I had to choose I would keep my DSSD

Deepsea for me too! Love the Daytona but for everyday it just doesnt work for me without the date

Tally.... Those are the 2 Rolex watches I currently have. I'm a bigger guy too
and feel more comfortable when wearing my DSSD. (It gets more wear than my Daytona). Go with the DSSD for your 1st Rolex!

DSSD is a very deep watch and quite heavy, I had one for 30 days and returned it as it was very uncomfortable to wear for long periods and I have 8 1/2" wrists. lovely watches both of them though

GET BOTH you wont regret

z32turbo · 12 February 2012, 08:46 AM

I'd go for the DSSD if it were me.

Good luck!

Why consider a watch that you don't like just because it's cheap?

the daytona is strange for me. i love it in print, i love it on other people, i love it in the display case, i just don't love it on my wrist. I like the watch and it would make it into my rotation, but i just don't love it. it's almost like somebody else's girl---perfect for him, but not me but i still want her. it really bothers me because i am very practical when it comes to spending money, but for some reason this watch has gotten under my skin and i want it for no particular reason. I think i'll take friend's advice for most situations and just lie down and let the feeling pass.

daytona as dress watch, dssd as a daily beater

Tallybeard,

The DSSD sound perfect for you but there is no "Resizing to fit wife" scenario with that model. It is a BEAST that doesn't look good on women. With too many links removed it looks like a joke and without the links removed it will flop around on the wrist like a dead halibut.

If you can tolerate the smaller size of the Daytona for yourself, that certainly is an attractive watch for the wife in the years to come.
