I think the DSSD looks the best; the 305 is just too large for my tastes. I also own a Panerai 243 which is on a par size wise with the DSSD. A 44 mm Panerai seems like a better choice if you are moving in that direction.

1st amg · 12 September 2015, 08:24 AM

I had both a Panerai sub, the 024, and I also have the DSSD. The panerai is gone and I would never think of selling my DSSD. It has a wrist presence that is like no other. It is shiny and when sized correctly is perfect. The glide lock also helps on hot days. Priceless for me. I also had a rubber b, really helps for comfort but I missed the beautiful bracelet, so I took off the rubber b. But it definetely is an option. I say buy the DSSD, you are man enough and will get used to it!!

Here is mine at the moment, at sons hockey practice.

I vote DSSD, but I would check out a pam to throw in the collection too. Any 1950s case luminor. Strap options are endless :D

Robbie68 · 7 December 2015, 03:24 PM

Had JC and black and sold them both most uncomfortable watch I've owned and the bracelet taper is too severe imho. Regularly wear a Pam 422 and a green Sub C, I suspect that in titanium the 305 will wear very well.

I would go SD4K.

Clearly you have not tried one. PAM's are comfortable. I own two in my rotation.

rollee1 · 7 December 2015, 03:39 PM

As a daily beater, never a PAM.

eco8gator · 7 December 2015, 03:40 PM

Sounds like you want a big flashy beater.

How about the 48mm Blancpain 500 Fathoms??? They even have it in a GMT.

If you want something a bit smaller the 45mm Blancpain 50 Fathoms looks great. If you want a more limited version of this watch the Tribute to Aqualung or No Radiation are both sweet looking...

An something completely left field...Grand Seiko Diver. Its 44mm and they look really nice and are amazingly accurate.

Danny83 · 7 December 2015, 03:52 PM

The DSSD all the way

Lordofrolex · 7 December 2015, 04:10 PM

I'd choose the PAM. Great watch and excellent daily beater.

In conclusion my decision is over I wear a pvd no date subc as a daily beater it's a good choice since size and heft aren't against me

You gave the blind sub a sunburn

HogwldFLTR · 7 December 2015, 04:23 PM

I won't even use PAM when I cook; go with the DSSD!!!

Galion · 7 December 2015, 04:25 PM

Nice sub!

travisb · 7 December 2015, 10:09 PM

I think your Sub looks great!

It looks pretty nice tanned

alika · 7 December 2015, 10:15 PM

my opinion DSSD looks better on your wrist then PAM

brandrea · 7 December 2015, 10:22 PM

The DSSD would be my choice on in this case! the glidelock clasp would be the deciding factor for me, with a watch of this size.

Deego · 8 December 2015, 06:29 AM

Definitely the DSSD!
