I just wanted to share this pic that I took yesterday to show the unique nature of the domed crystal on the DSSD. Sometimes, the light in the room is reflected in a way that gives it a very unique subtle glow. LOVE this watch!

I also got rid of my SD43 and kept the JC DSSD, as some have mentioned the DSSD is under appreciated compared to other Rolex models - perhaps because it’s been around for quite a few years now that people have started to take this ingeniously engineered watch for granted. Rolex tested it to 5000m yet it can still be a comfortable daily wearer which is remarkable in itself.... and has one of the most beautiful dials out there.

Congrats! Another convert:)
Once you wear the JC, the SD43 just falls a bit flat IMO The DSSD is a technological marvel.

I have the JC and SD43 and I really love both but if I had to pick just one it would be the JC. The splendid dial and heft of it edges out the SD. They both fit me like a glove though so in the comfort department they are equal. I'm wearing the 43 today.

Thank you for the feedback
I have wanted a Rolex since I was a kid, I decided to treat myself after a recent promotion. I always thought I'd go used, but when I saw they were more than used, I decided to buy new, or at least till I found out that they were not so available new.
I looked and called everywhere and nothing that interested me, on a hunch, I called a small jeweler in the midwest where I am traveling for a wedding. They had four, a sea dweller with stainless / yellow gold band and numerals. A DSSD James Cameron, two yacht-masters with gold dial. Having never seen one, I sent my 14k after taxes money to them. It has been 3 weeks since I bought it, and I pick it up in 2 weeks. I've been freaking out about it, because I've heard it is just too big, and that you need custom shirt sleeves to be able to wear it. When I pick it up, I have the choice, to get it, or go a different path with them, but I doubt they have alternative choices. I could also get it and resell it to Bob's with only a small loss, and go another route. I'm hoping it is okay but my wrist is on the smaller side of about 6.5. If I keep it, I'm thinking about taking the divers extension off. Thinking it may make it a little smaller and it is one less thing to get scuffed. Hope it works out. |

It seems like a tricky model to source as of late. I have heard rumors that the JC dial may not be offered much longer, but only Rolex knows. Glad I was able to find one. It is magical!

Absolutely true...taking off the diver's extension is the first order of business when I am sizing any DSSD or SD that has one. It improves comfort significantly for a smaller wrist. Thank you, sir!

Congrats! I can’t put mine down (although I do prefer the black). These are not that hard to source if you look around - when I bought mine a week ago or so, the AD had both versions available (and I have no history with them).
