Rolex 44mm DSSD - Love it or Hate it?

[tsetse]

simply beautiful
put a sub c or a gmt2c next to it, the beauty is even more obvious
to critics who think dssd looks too bulky or wear too uncomfortable - that's the whole idea
it gives a brand new definition to 'wrist presence' - its never meant for wimps or skinny-wrists, anyways

Thanks and yes I agree the DSSD is beautiful. I do understand your love for the DSSD but I think the comment that the comment that its not for wimps and skinny wrists might come across as pretty harsh and offensive to others, maybe you could tone down your choice of words ya

We are here because we all love watches, so lets be nice and friendly to each other ya

wimps really? didn't know DSSD owners are more manly than others. I should perhaps re-look into my watches I currently own

Haha.. I think you already have an awesome collection, don't need another dssd to make it more impressive or to make you look more "manly". Lol..

Love to try it on my skinny wrist.

LIke to anti rolex look.

I have a DSSD, my 2nd one actually cos I sold the first one for another watch then a few months later, I got another DSSD and it has been with me ever since. I love the size and heft of the watch, makes it feel very solid. Other watches have come and gone but still the DSSD is still with me and I do not foresee selling it in the future as well.

Watches, like many other things are very subjective and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so your thread will have many varied answers or viewpoints.

A recent pic of my DSSD. Beautiful isn't it? lol

Thanks for the bit of info. My sentiments echo yours. Having donned the Deepsea, I can't see the appeal of the Daytona anymore. Different strokes for different folks, of course!

THG quote in May2013:
dssd sg15,870
ss daytona sg15,600

ADs will ask for a premium for ss daytona though - so daytona though currently retail lower than dssd, are always sold at higher prices new - not sure why people are still willing to pay above retail price for ss daytona

[toffeesthings]

that's why they priced it above the daytona

Priced above Daytona now? Glad I got mine early : )

Your are amongst the enlightened.

BUY IT, cos once u wore it on ur wrist, all other rolex sports models pales in comparison...... even the Daytona.

one way to silence the critics of dssd is to bring all rolex sports model down to 3,900m below sea level
by then only one watch will still be ticking - the rest all RIP (not so much of resting in peace, but literally RIPped apart)

Rated to 3900m.... will got to 4700m no worries..... try that with your Breitling Seawolfs.... hahhaa

Outright uncomfortable, and i have a reasonably big wrist.

wimp

Please let me know what you think.

Some said too big and heavy; too tight its uncomfortable, too loose it slips too much becoz of weight
Some said the case is out of proportion with the bracelet and look ugly
Some will always stick to the submariner
Some liked the weight of the steel-> value for money
Some like the helium valve
etc

what say you?

Just buy it.....

[watchristi]

Nice pic. That is enough to keep the DSSD on my wish list.

Have not regretted trading my GMT2 for a 44mm yet since she did not have much wrist time on me.

Put it off for years due to the tapering bracelet. Finally got one & if you wear it snug (easy with the genius clasp), the bracelet turns out to be a non-issue. Comfortable daily-wear for the past few weeks...

Damn nice shot! Congrats.

put it on a high quality rubber, it balances very well.
