Buy a gold bar. It is real nice to look at, feels good and is an investment.

I know what I am asking of you is to guess the future --- but lets say 5yrs down the line, will the used price of a dSSD far outdo the used price of a
gmt2c?
What in the world makes you think that DSSD prices will go through the roof?????

Does the DSSD fit this bill? I don't think it was optimised for professional divers by any means - it's too bling for that. The same can be said for the rest of the current Rolex diver lineup, a decision has been made to make them as marketable as possible to your average buyer - underneath the shininess and the steroids, the DSSD hasn't moved the game on at all. Other watches can go deeper. Other watches have bracelets with fine adjustment. Other watches have HEVs. What does the DSSD do differently to distinguish it?
Have to agree Chris 100% but with today marketing (brainwashing) its all about mine is heavier and bigger can go deeper than yours syndrome with many today
