Thinking between 3...Hulk, DSSD, ND Sub.

[cervantes]

Hulk is great in a large collection as I would be hesitant to wear the green all the time. DSSD Blue took a while to grow accustomed to it's heft, but now it feels right. But you really got to try it on...

I nearly bought a DSSD. Went to the AD with the plan to pick one up however once on the wrist I changed my mind and decided to have a re-think. I never did buy one. It just didn't feel right to me, which is a shame because I love the look of them, especially the Deep Blue! I would STRONGLY recommend trying this on before deciding. Personally I would look at the SD4000 over the DSSD.

My choice of all of them however would be the Hulk!!

You absolutely must try on the DSSD and if you haven't seen an LVC in person I would strongly recommend doing so. Obviously you can get the feel of a Hulk from any 116610, but the color of the bezel and dial, although I think are amazing, just may not be for you.

With all that said. You're talking about 3 fairly different price ranges but putting money aside, I went with the LVC because I simply fell in love with it the first time I saw it.

I'm not much for the ND sub because if there's an option for a date, I'll take it.

As for the DSSD, I love it. Don't own it but it's constantly a watch that shows up on my radar. I've tried it on a bunch of times now and I have mixed feelings really. You 100% must try it on. My wrist is just a little smaller than yours.

I agree although I have tried the DSSD on twice and no matter how much I WANT to have it..its just TOO massive and heavy. You really have to think about that if your wearing it all the time, I literally could imagine myself catching it on the edge of my desk and things it's that deep..but looks gorgeous..

114060. Perfect watch in every way.

Hulk!

I have the dissenting opinion, I tried on the Hulk and just couldn't love the green. I do love the sunburst blue dial on the Blusey but the Hulk just doesn't donit for me. The DSSD is also too tall for my taste, the SD4000 was better but the cantrast of the satin dial and glossy ceramic just didn't jive for me. In the end I fell in love with the BLNR and the ND SubC. They compliment eachother perfectly. I love the hints of blue on the GMT and the slimmer caseback makes it sit vey low which I prefer. The ND Sub is also thinner than the date subs and is the most comfortable modern diver's watch I've ever worn. I also love the history and balance of the no date, it's the true timeless classic.

They are all really nice. For me, I wouldn't buy one of these without seeing them. I need to see it and have the heart skip a beat or two..

As Chadri stated, you need to see and try them on. It's the only sure fire way to see what feels best but also what sings to you best.

In person, these watches are different. Some Rolex's that I never really cared for I liked after I saw them in person.

Good luck whatever you do. The chase is part of the fun!

Hulk itself is just beautiful. The dial is mesmerizing, changing from a dark green (almost black) to a bright metallic green. I can stare at it for hours.

ND Sub is very clean but a bit sterile to me without the date. It gets boring after a short while.

SD4000 is very cool and wears easier than the DSSD which is too bulky to me (and I have 7.5" wrist). I like how the thicker crystal sits protruding above the bezel but the overall watch is thicker than the typical sub.

I love the Kermit. The previous sports Rolex proportions are perfect but I hate the older bracelets and prefer the green dial.

Yes, If you like the green then this watch is a great choice. It is also a lot darker and more subtle away from the bright lights of an AD. I used to have a DSSD but now my wrists are under 7 inches they wear too big and too thick.

[trace5er]

I probably have a 6.5" wrist (never really measured) and just bought a DSSD. I think it looks fine, height is not a problem as I'm wearing a size small slim-fit H&M dress shirt and the watch fits under the sleeve cuff just fine. The size of the DSSD is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.

Hulk gets my vote. It's unique, it's green... and well... it's green and that's just cool!

Don't buy a DSSD without trying it on MULTIPLE times. It's big and thick and a little top heavy. The first time I tried it on I thought it was cool. Every time since then I remind myself why I never bought it... just too thick for me.

Can't go wrong with a ND Sub. You will get no complaints from most people on this forum about that! It's simple and classic. One of the best!

Enjoy the hunt!

Nd sub 14060

[Gerry62]

I think that the green can tire

Dssd .... beautiful but a bit uncomfortable (watch sold in November 2015)


Submariner .... if you had all three would use always this , I am sure

new purchase

[kultschar]

I have all three and wear in this order (the most worn)

Sub ND > DSSD > Hulk

[watchwatcher]

I love all three. Unfortunately, there can only be one.

For me, I prefer a date, so the ND would be out. That leaves the LVc and the DS. I have owned the Lvc and foolishly flipped it...twice. I don't know if that speaks to something about the watch I don't like or a personality flaw, take your pic.

Never owned the Deepsea, but came close once and have lusted after it ever since. I'm a huge fan of the D-Blue iteration...but since you asked about the straight DS, I would probably give the nudge to the Lvc. Now if you're talking D-Blue, different story....

[elkaholic]

To the original poster-I have wrists sized similar to yours. So, out of the three you mentioned, the DSSD would not be in the running. I do not like the look of pieces larger than 40mm on my wrist size, but that's just my personal preference. Anything beyond 40mm looks odd to me on my arm.

So that leaves the Hulk and 114060. I've owned the 114060 and would have it again, especially over the Hulk. I love the green look but it's not something I'd wear often because (again, my own opinion) it doesn't go with anything like the black Sub does.

The SubC on my wrist was a perfect fit with 4.5 links on the 6 side and 5 links on the 12 side, FYI.

Dssd! trusted seller is the way to go but there are a few ads in the area that have them if you want one from there.

[airchitect]

Dssd

[yunach]

Im currently contemplating the DSSD or the BLNR.
Ive tried on the DSSD a couple of times and it is top heavy and pretty thick. Definitely not a daily wearer.
However, I have the green sub and its definitely my favourite.
People think it clashes and doesn't go with everything. it actually is very versatile.
Out of your choices, go for the Hulk.

[RollyFan98012]

The Hulk and ND Sub are nothing to sneeze at. But imho and as a proud owner of a DSSD for several years. I can say you'll never look back and wonder what if had you not gone with the DSSD.

Totally agree with this. I would not consider a DSSD without trying it on...a few times. Many people love it. I had one for three years, with a 7.5" wrist, but it always felt top heavy to me.

[Etschell]

Subc it is the best of the three.

I wonder what circles are you in that everyone and their mother as a Sub.

I dunno, I see very few Rolexes (and Subs) in public.

It wouldn't bother me anyway that someone has as fine taste that I do :)
