Tiger is back with DSSD
Everytime the DSSD is just special and I know the size and heft not for everyone but it’s so simple and yet so striking

The DSSD is an engineering masterpiece. That alone is a reason to own one.

In various clips you can hear him comment on it, he likes the size. He wears it perfectly.

Wild how small it looks on the goats wrist.

Can’t wait for him to make the greatest comeback in the history of golf

Previously held by………

Tiger Woods lol

Granted what Ben Hogan did was quite insane

Good choice by the goat. Hard to beat for a daily driver, IMO.

And because it’s on my wrist, a pic for solidarity.

It’s a special watch. I think people over think it’s size. It wears better then My tag caliber 16 for instance. Glad I picked one up.

Size and height are quickly forgotten. Proportions are excellent and now, for me, it is submariner who looks weird and flat!

Totally agree. I don't understand the criticism about its size when there are plenty of other brands that are just as big or bigger. It's a very comfortable watch, even the 116660.

Tiger puts that black faced DSSD that he wears constantly to good use. He is an avid freediver and spear fisherman and has talked about how many dives he has been on with his DSSD.

There is no black dial JC, its only the black dial DSSD or a JC (graduated blue to black dial).

A beautiful watch. It was a hard decision between this one and my SD43, and while my SD43 won (I have a flat wrist, it fit perfectly and I loved the red text in what was basically a supersized Sub) at a different time on a different day the DSSD could have had a chance.

Beautiful watch.

I've owned Subs(except 6 digit) since the 4 digit era.
The only ones that don't look flat and a just little weird have been the 4 digits with the beautifully domed crystals.
5513 was my all time favourite

Agreed
I'd also wager it's likely to be a 116660 just looking at the endlinks
He has worn a JC in the past as one would expect, and he probably has one of every reference just for kicks.
