I see some pics with DSSD lugs extending way beyond the width of their wrist. No good.

The perspective in that photo is way off. Todays digital cameras zoom the object closest to the lens. I can assure the watch doesn't look exactly like that on his wrist.

DS is a great watch if your wrist is 6.5">
and if your ok with thickness.

Try before you buy if possible, it’s an amazing watch and like others have said if you are ok with the size go for it, an extreme piece of watch engineering capable of going to 3900m, so far mine has seen depths of between 0.5 and 1 mts. Amazing watch I love it.

Having both the 116660 and 126660JC, I prefer the latter. Watch feels and looks more aesthetically balanced. Just from my personal experience. I just wish it did not attract so much attention now.
Yeah the glide lock makes this beast work. I wear a generally snugger than my other watches which the glide lock enables me to do.
