Sorry guys, still have not had a chance to take the DS under water...but thought I would post some shots of the watch out at sea.

Yesterday, a friend invited me out for a quick underway around Long Beach harbor on his boat. I took the opportunity to grab some shots of the event. Just another typical SoCal "winter" day...temp was around 78 degs! Yeah, I know...tough weather to have to deal with on a daily basis. Enjoy the pics (in case you might not notice, that is the mighty Queen Mary in the background of a few of the shots). Cheers.

No problem...glad to share. One of my brothers lives in NYC...he tells me you guys are experiencing just a tad cooler conditions over there when compared to SoCal!

Excellent.

The watch doesn't look bulky at all & the bracelet looks totally in perspective to the case. Oh yeah, the scenery looks great as well.

Thanks for sharing.

I agree...the longer I own this watch, the more I love it & really have nothing to complain about. Additionally (although I'm sure many might be skeptical), the watch is extremely comfortable to wear.

I honestly believe the DSSD has taken some undue flak that I'm convinced will become less & less as more people experience this watch in person.

The watch looks good on the guy because he's probably 6'2", 220- or somewhere close. If you saw the watch on me, it'll look like a smurf carrying a large pizza.

nice watch, perfect scenery.

Nah...only 5'11.5" (6' if my posture is correct

), 200lbs. I don't think you have to have a day job in the NFL to wear the DSSD...but I think it helps if you're a little bigger than a buck fifty!

My arms were actually much bigger years ago in college when I hit the gym on a regular basis. Now I just drive past the gym to the fast food joint on a regular basis...

and I laugh how my arms seemed to have atrophied over the years.

Awesome pics. Looks like you had a great time. Way to build memories with that watch of yours.

Yeah...wish it were mine. Actually, I think I prefer to not own such boats...they tend to be a handful & very expensive to maintain/operate. I think it's better to have friends that get to experience the 'joys' of ownership.

Nice photo essay . I used to spend some time in the Long Beach area and attended a couple of the races there in the early '90's. Neat Fountain also.

hflee55 · 15 January 2009, 10:44 PM

nice pics. thanks for sharing.

Great pics Moby, gotta love the DeepSea and Reggie Fountain makes a beautiful boat. Looks to be a 48 Express Cruiser, I had to settle for a 27' Fever but none the less anytime your on the water is time well spent.

Ha, ha..."settle" for the 27'. Truth be told, I would take your boat over this one any day. If I were going to get an open ocean boat, I would take something like a classic Bertram...not as fast, but much more accommodating for deep sea fishing and scuba diving (not to mention their range for cruising is significantly longer).

I forgot the specifics on this boat, but believe it or not it is not a 48 Express...it is actually pretty rare in that Fountain only made 3 of them (and one was destroyed during a past hurricane...so you don't see them cruising around the waterways). It is 55' (or maybe 60'...I forgot now) and unlike the Express the pilot house is larger and completely enclosed. There is actually very little seating area outside exposed to the elements. A cool boat no doubt, but I could think of a lot of other boats I would personally buy for the $ (not that I have to worry about that at this point in time

)

bodybump · 15 January 2009, 11:29 PM

Forget the watch..how much was the boat?? hahahaah jk man that boat is awesome!!!! and you watch totally match it!!!

I'm a happily married man of almost 7 years...don't think the wife would approve of that seeing as she couldn't attend.
