On a trip to Humbertown jewelers to get my recently authenticated Panerai, I tried on my grail watch, the DSSD. Yesterday when I tried it on, it felt small but today, it felt right. I was wearing my fav daily watch, the Omega SMP sword hands to see how it compares. Although, they look similar, they feel very different. Here are some wrist shots.

To clarify, I don't own it yet but with a little prodding, some sleepless nights, the urge might be too strong to fight it.... so we'll see.

Any DSSD owners out there who'd like to chime in?

Looks great!

z32turbo · 27 August 2012, 12:52 PM

The DSSD would be a great addition.

filfoster · 27 August 2012, 10:39 PM

You know how this works. It's only a matter of time until you get the DSSD.

This is very much the truth!

sea-dweller · 31 August 2012, 12:52 PM

DSSD of course, although the Omega is nice!

Rjwareagle · 31 August 2012, 12:57 PM

The DSSD has been my every day watch. Go for it! I've held on to it longer than any other watch.

TSW · 31 August 2012, 02:58 PM

Love the DSSD!

greeeeeeat

russellnyc · 2 September 2012, 07:58 AM

You definitely should. I'm enjoying my DSSD very much. Wearing it right now, actually... Like you, I got the bug and thought about it for a while. Tried to avoid it, but it was inexorable.

Wing-Co · 5 September 2012, 06:53 PM

Just buy it! I really like mine, but I also have a Seamaster and it easily has the best bracelet for comfort over my DSSD, Navitimer and Carrera. The Rolex and the Tag Heuer both taper to much for the size of the watch.

Puffy · 5 September 2012, 08:54 PM

dssd is a good one!

mysonsrolex · 5 September 2012, 10:33 PM

Ive been enjoying my DSSD for about 6 weeks now - have worn it every day!

Its a great watch

nice collection

jokb · 19 September 2012, 06:03 AM

Haven't gotten it yet. Although I have been on the hunt for this for quite a while now. I really should have purchased it before the price increase.

masterserg · 19 September 2012, 06:07 AM

You can get it now, before the NEXT increase

Psmith · 19 September 2012, 10:19 AM

Resistance is futile

aperez1988 · 19 September 2012, 05:00 PM

That Omega is sexy, iv been torn between getting a new Omega or a new Rolex.

Spartacus · 20 September 2012, 02:24 AM

DSSD is a grail for me as well, I'm not sure what I'll do as the new POs look great as well and are half the price.

dalip · 20 September 2012, 02:28 AM

As soon as the DSSD gets into your system....it's game over !!! Go for it.

I can attest to that. I'd add that it might be game over for any other watch you have

lol. exactly thinking the same (i guess in the back of my mind I'm thinking that once I have it, the other's will stay on the winder or in their cases)

But the search for this DSSD has not been fruitful. Tax here in Canada is 13% so a seemingly good offer price is not good at the end.

Still hoping I can find a pre-owned one or somewhere with no tax that is not overly expensive.

T-Rip I would get it checked out 1st.. the date wheel looks bad...
Not too concerned as this was in humbertown's showroom. This one was a G serial but they mentioned that they can get me a random one.

I have both of those on the picture, i always use my DSSD except when my shirt is to narrow and my DSSD wont fit :-)

Looks great on your wrist, perfect size!

But I'd second the words of caution:

The '2' should be neatly centered, it seems way too low.

Art 1 · 22 September 2012, 07:30 AM

Very cool.

samuel019 · 22 September 2012, 08:37 AM

Was at my A D on Wednesday and I must say that it didnt feel that big on my wrist. I guess mainly because I have been wearing my Exp II. I like it but will probably end up doing the new Subc.
