For some its the best modern rolex sports watch. For others its not comfortable. Both are correct. Just depends on your wrist shape/size.

I don’t have any discomfort with mine. Also, I’m not sure why some of you write that you have to wear the bracelet tight. These bracelets are strong. They are not going to fall apart no matter how you wear the watch. I wear mine loose, and there is no pressure point. But I wear all my watches loose except those with leather straps, which a seem to prefer tighter.
In my opinion, the Sea Dweller is more unusual that a Sub, and does not feel appreciably different as I have one of them too. |

For my deep sea sea-Dweller James Cameron dial I've got a rubber bee swimskin it's quite comfortable and the watch looks awesome on that. a little while ago Rolex released one of their display only sea-dwellers red letter and I was called to see if I was interested and I was and so I picked that up and for me it fits quite well on the stainless steel bracelet however I have been looking at the rubber b band either the swim skin or the regular rubber B with their clasp. if you've never ordered from rubber B you have to be very careful to make sure that your model number matches the strap because they design them to fit perfectly no wiggle room at all custom made for a specific particular Rolex. don't know if you've considered that but just thought I'd put my two cents worth in

For some reason I've never noticed a protruding case back I've just considered a rubber B because I like rubber B not because I don't like the bracelet that my deep sea is on huh. it feels just fine on the bracelet to me but to switch things up i may go with a rubber b or an Everest I've never had an Everest strap so if anyone out there has had one and can give me some feedback on it I'd appreciate that i know rubber B is top quality.

I had the same problem & ended up trading the watch for that reason. I did put it on a Rubber B for a while which made it wear much better. It doesn’t taper nearly as much as the Rolex bracelet & really keeps the watch in place. Highly recommend giving it a try before you give up on it.

Same thing for me. I owned it 2x or maybe 3x. It really hurt me in day 2 of wearing it. Pointy case back. Many threads on this. Oddly, the James Cameron has a much flatter, cushion case and it was far more comfortable than the SD43. Lots of us experienced it. Get another watch. A Sub is the perfect size. You’ll be happy.

I also enjoy large watches, Panerai and Breitlings included, and none have presented the same issues. |

No discomfort issues on my 7.2 in wrist. Wear mine almost daily.

I am very curious about your swimskin band for the DSSD. I have looked at that a bunch of times on-line and tempted to try but never heard of anyone who had one. So there is a price that sits underneath the watch - does this not make the DSSD feel even more top heavy? Would love to see a photo or 2 of your setup. |
