Just bought a DSSD.......

What a watch !!!!

Big and heavy........wish my YG sub felt like this........because the watch is large the lugs look way better than my 116618 LB.

My lovely wife is getting hair done in the salon we frequent........located 25' from my AD.......got bored waiting.........went to visit and it cost me........LOL.

Cancelled my order for the new SD at the same time.

One thread on the same topic (2, now merged!), is enough!

Enjoy the new watch, my DSSD is the most worn in the stable...congrats to you, and just hope the wife is happy with her cut?

Pics........I like it to hang so I can fit my pinkie in between the wrist and glidelock........it's a good size, and a heavy piece.

The lugs look soooooo much nicer than on my Sub. They are actually in proportion now, and the watch flows better.

The lugs are one of my favorite parts of the DSSD, from all angles
