OK, took me awhile to post this but easily the best Rolex I own. Happy to join da Klub. Bought Pelagos recently to be my daily wear, and while I love Pelagos too, this guy took over with no shame. |

6weeks in
Ok, it's been 6weeks since I moved from my 16600 to my new DSSD. I've worn it everyday, all day since.
What a magnificent watch. I just love it. Yes, overbuilt beyond my Sea Dweller and beyond the limits of our diving but that's the point isn't it? Just love it... |

I've been agonizing over what to get myself for a 35th birthday present. For some time I was going to go 216570, but then I started missing my SubC, and since I'm really into bigger watches, I started thinking DSSD. For a while I've been thinking that's the way to go, but then I start second guessing myself and thinking that it's not quite enough 'iconic Rolex' (e.g. Shiny black diall, cyclops, etc.).
Has anyone gone from a Sub to a DSSD and regretted it in terms of "feeling" like a Rolex? |

So this trusty fellow was on my wrist when my wife went into labor couple days ago. We welcomed a new baby girl together!

Picked up new DSSD this afternoon.
A random serial# with a mk2 dial. I'm starting to think the mk3 sans serif dial posted some time back is a hoax. Gotta say the mk2 dial is a big improvement over the mk1 dial IMHO. Cheers.

I've gone through a number of different models and the DSSD just checks all the boxes I wanted. Doesn't feel any less iconic or 'Rolex like' in my book. I like the engineering that went into its production as well as you don't see many worn.

You got a random serial DSSD? That is the very first one I've heard of.

What's the current retail price from a Rolex dealer? I have to keep tabs on it to make sure that my insurance coverage will cover a new replacement for my DSSD.
Thanks!
