Bart, Red, Double Red Trilogy

Thought I would share a recently picked up DRSD to add into the mix!

Snapped a quick pic with a couple of my vintage divers. I'm really enjoying this DRSD (not even going to bother with the polywatch)!! If I eventually work down to one Rolex, this could be the front runner.

Out of the 3, which would you keep as your one Rolex?

If it’s a regular red sub, for sure the drsd. Double the red, double the fun. But since it’s the meter first, that’s a tough one.

Unless it’s a thin case, it’s much thicker not even counting the super dome. It’s definitely a wrist presence. That super dome though. Stunning watches u got there.


I blame it on autoconnect.

The DSRD (excluding thin case) case marginally thicker as well as the caseback, but not as thick as a 116600, which definitely feels thicker and heavier. With my smaller 6.5in wrists, the DSRD wears more comfortable my116600.

I really need to practice taking better pictures.

Either left or right, but would pick DRSD on account of the bezel fade...that is an easy watch to have as the only watch collection; amazing piece and congrats!

First off… Awesome! But there is no way I would have just one of those as an only piece. I would need to add a “beater” so to speak… And if keeping only one of those beautiful watches, it would be the DRSD

Those are three beauties. The sensible thing to do is keep them all.

Not a fair fight. In this case, bigger is better. DRSD all day.

Not sure which one I would pick. I would probably wear each for a week or two in a row and then I would know.
