DSSD vs PLOPROF
 
I've been looking to pic up a monster diver and these are the 2 that are haunting me. I won't be wearing it for every occasion but will be on my wrist most of the care free summer days at the beach bars, in the water, ect. I only want to add one beast so which one suites me best, DSSD or PLOPROF?

Ds

Ploprof ... It looks more radical

Kiddodoc 10 February 2015 10:37 AM

Sorry but the Omega does not look great in my opinion but the Deepsea is the bomb!

The DSSD looks WAY BETTER on your wrist.

nick c 10 February 2015 10:38 AM

Dssd

Bangel 10 February 2015 10:39 AM

DSSD, but I reckon you knew I'd say that.

Tridor 10 February 2015 10:42 AM

Oh, puhleeze! That Omega is absolutely horrendous. Go with the DSSD.

DSSD, the omega looks weird and I am sure the rolex will be more desirable if you were to re sell or trade one day.

PP for hanging out in beach bars, etc.

jjnd08 10 February 2015 10:54 AM

Not a fan of either of these, but DSSD by a mile.

SrFADE 10 February 2015 10:54 AM

an unconventional arm deserves an unconventional watch - ploprof

kilyung 10 February 2015 10:56 AM

Ploprof is badass but the DSSD is more versatile

craniotes 10 February 2015 11:04 AM

Can't choose.

For me, the DSSD is a far better fit, but that PloProf looks gangster on your wrist.

PS - There's some nice hardware on that table in the background... :thumbsup:

One good thing about the PP is that it has the normal four minute markers between the hours, whereas the DS only has three between the 15 and 55. If you're timing your dives, that could be confusing (to me anyway).

brandrea 10 February 2015 11:15 AM

I prefer the DSSD to the Omega

thomaspp 10 February 2015 11:19 AM

The rolex!

Never owned an Omega so hard for me to comment. The only omega that has crossed my mind is a vintage speedy.

Mikey C 10 February 2015 11:21 AM

Is this question serious?... I reserve comment, but I will say it is a rolex forum.

1995akcoop 10 February 2015 11:21 AM

the ploprof is just plain UGLy.....dssd all day

Daytona4130 10 February 2015 11:31 AM

Ploprof is bad to the bone.

One Ping Only 10 February 2015 11:37 AM

Ploprof! Not something you see often, unique, slightly bizarre and purpose built.

jbsmith 10 February 2015 11:40 AM

DSSD for sure!

tkerrmd 10 February 2015 11:44 AM

In an unbiased way the DSSD, just looks better and is a more all round watch, the Omega not so much

dchang81 10 February 2015 11:44 AM

I wish I had a bigger wrist to wear a ploprof. Not a big deepsea fan, prefer the plan 40mm Rolex divers.

DCheeta 10 February 2015 11:46 AM

DSSD! I love that bad boy.

Fleetlord 10 February 2015 11:51 AM

Wait a minute.....

The PP has a smallish dial in itself, but it looks bigger here than a Deepsea?

I RARELY, if EVER recommend another brand over ROLEX...especially Omega...BUT if you're going to get an OMEGA other than a Speedy Pro? It's a Ploprof. It's a solid watch.


This is a quality thread. Good question...

lipjin 10 February 2015 11:54 AM

The DSSD if you're planning to wear it for anything else other then for diving.

The ploprof for a cool and very specific diving watch.

Brian Page 10 February 2015 12:06 PM

I've owned both, I currently own neither, They are both great pieces, the Omega is more over the top than the DSSD by far, partially due to the incredibly thick shark mesh, it truly is a monster where as depending on the size of your wrist the DSSD can masquerade a little more. By the way - both were incredibly accurate. And , if it matters or not the PP is a pain in the rear to adjust the bezel at the start of a dive in the water compared to any Rolex I've dived with. Just something to consider if you are actually going to dive with this watch. Visibility on both, great! Dove with the PP for the novelty of it, my main dive watch is an Oris Pro along with a Suunto D6I

I love Omega, but not that one. Nothing about it appears comfortable to me with possible exception of the mesh.

CoachRolexRyan 10 February 2015 12:38 PM

No contest. Deepsea.
