Too large for my 7 inch wrist!!

brandrea · 30 November 2022, 12:49 PM

Quite the collection

rohada · 30 November 2022, 01:03 PM

Thanks for the photos. I think I'll stick with my smallish SDDS.

Pw92676 · 30 November 2022, 01:07 PM

Nice photos.
You have a great collection.

It's not a watch it's an instrument.

I like your collection, thanks for sharing.

Nice flex OP

It’s interesting that the DSC appears to have the smallest dial out of every comparison you have shown. Maybe it’s just the optics due to the space between the dial and bezel (occupied by the ring lock)?.

That dead space between the dial and bezel just looks so odd to me.

I really hope the titanium construction filters down into the rest of the professional line up. I currently have 3 Pelagos and can’t see myself going back to SS watches at this stage. I really love that Rolex has finally given us something in titanium.

Great pics (and watches). Thanks for sharing.

garyk · 30 November 2022, 11:01 PM

Has its own zip code?

Old Expat Beast · 30 November 2022, 11:14 PM

Any sideways comparisons? That's where the size difference would be most striking, I think.

JSolution · 30 November 2022, 11:26 PM

Thanks. Doesn’t look so bad next to the YMii. Any wrist shots?

I agree with above poster too the side by side height comparison would be interesting

strafer_kid · 30 November 2022, 11:30 PM

Great engineering but way too big for me!

It would be nice to see that comparison. I believe I read somewhere that this reference is almost 23 mm thick.

Thank You

Thanks and congrats! I love it!

AF_Rob · 1 December 2022, 03:44 AM

The comparison is very useful, thanks OP!

I've tried on the YM II and James Cameron and they swallowed my wrist up. This puts it in perspective for me.

GONZO2LR · 1 December 2022, 03:56 AM

noce....

Tools · 1 December 2022, 04:22 AM

It's a nice multi-tasker..

In a pinch you can also use it as an anchor.

Chewbacca · 1 December 2022, 04:24 AM

My sources sent me these photos of Charlize (long story. I told her we’re through) after trying on a DSSDC at the airport. She wore a DSSD for years with no injuries. I think this watch will cause more problems than good and should come with a disclaimer.

waterman1 · 1 December 2022, 06:52 AM

No one can ever say again that the DSSD is too large).
But, if Rolex would make the DSSD out of titanium then I think we would have the ultimate everyday diver.
