The Deepsea has landed!

Just got this in from DavidSW. Fantastic experience. This is actually my first Rolex and I think I made a good choice. I am used to PAMs and Breitlings, so this is right at home on my wrist!

Some quick photos...

Great watch. When I tried it on, my first impression was "Wow, this is thick!", but now I find myself thinking about it more and more. Your pictures do not help!! Congrats.

One recommendation I can give to those that are debating on it...

The problem with trying this on at an AD is that without a properly sized bracelet, you can't really appreciate how comfortable it is. When I got this home, removedd a couple links and wearing it out today, there is NO reason this can't be a daily wearer. The size is not even noticable if you are used to wearing modern larger watches.

How do you feel about the bracelet?

I feel like getting one again, but the puny bracelet image keep running through my mind.

Sigh...

There is nothing wrong the bracelet at all. Like I said, if you wear one, you will love it. I don't see how people can appreciate what a watch feels like if they don't try it with the bracelet sized. It's like buying a car you've never driven.

If you are use to wearing a 36mm Explorer, then the DSSD is not for you, end of story.

What are you talkin' about? the DSSD has the largest bracelet in the entire lineups (21mm at the lugs)

Like Zirotti stated, the key to wearing the DSSD is to have it snug on your wrist so it doesn't flop.
