Deep Sea without a doubt!!

Singslinger · 10 February 2010, 07:59 PM

Much would depend on the person's wrist size and whether the DS would fit.

But when faced with the same choice last year, I went for the DS. It's relatively unpopular so dealers were offering generous discounts, which makes more sense to me from a value-for-money perspective - especially since it comes with the fabulous Glidelock clasp.

HL65 · 10 February 2010, 08:01 PM

Owning a Sub LV-I would have to say Sub--but have to admit I want a DSSD next!

BASSETHOUNDS · 10 February 2010, 08:04 PM

Matter of taste and budget . Both are beautiful watches with similar purpose . However quite different in size , look , weight , tech spec and of course price tag

Deep Sea

RJC · 10 February 2010, 09:00 PM

There is only one!

DS all the way.

ElPrimero · 10 February 2010, 09:08 PM

If you want a common, ultra light, slimline model, the Sub.

For something much more unique, substantial and an engineering marvel, the DS.

If this is the criteria, go buy a Planet Ocean all black. It's a better watch than both, especially for the money, there is no comparison. If you want a common watch, get a rolex period. I see them all day every day where I work. I have only seen 1 planet ocean in about 2 years, and that watch is truly a feat of engineering.

crushnbugs · 10 February 2010, 11:40 PM

DSSD is the way to go....

I have been looking for a deal, hope I will find one soon.

Good luck in making a decision!

How is something being common or to put it better way popular a bad thing?? never ceases to amaze me how many times this is used as an agument against buying a Sub etc..

How is a PO better?? What will a PO do in the real world better than a Sub or Deep sea??

Let me guess you think only WIS buy Omega's? wrong.

You are of course intitiled to your opinion but please next time present some valid points.

kyeow · 10 February 2010, 09:49 PM

I voted DS, but the Sub is on the want list just after a GMT

ronin7 · 10 February 2010, 09:52 PM

Voted for sub.have the lv.the dssd is an engineering marvel but feel not for me.wanted the regular sub date to compliment the lv but proving hard to find at the ad's these days.

JPS · 10 February 2010, 09:58 PM

Just sent you a message Ronin

Cheers

swissautopro · 10 February 2010, 10:10 PM

Gotta go with the Sub on this one.

JPS · 10 February 2010, 10:44 PM

There sure is a lot of love for the Submariner on this one

The GMT Master · 10 February 2010, 10:47 PM

The Deepsea every time, probably the most over engineered production watch in the world

ParisDakarBmw · 10 February 2010, 10:59 PM

I like the ceramic myself!

TheVTCGuy · 10 February 2010, 11:18 PM

Sub.... actually I'd go with a GMT....

The Deep is a fantastic watch, but not for me.

robsteve · 10 February 2010, 11:42 PM

I have thought about this lately and thought the DeepSea is a cool watch. The fact that it needs to go to Rolex for pressure testing makes it inconvenient if I take up scuba diving again. The Submariner on the other hand can be checked and serviced at my local watchmaker.

Deyn Man · 11 February 2010, 12:33 AM

if you can pull off wearing the deep sea despite its size, then go for the deep sea.. Otherwise, sub is your best bet.. If you think about it too, you can already get a sub plus an omega for the price of the deep sea!
Why not wait for the new sub?

john11f · 11 February 2010, 03:12 AM

But the Deepsea is not for everyone. I'd go for the Sub.

silverman · 11 February 2010, 06:00 PM

DSSD without question. I like the LV but its a bit limiting with the green bezel for me but still a great watch.

Daytonamania · 11 February 2010, 12:24 AM

Mmmm Got a DSSD but i voted for the sub still miss mine .
Dont get me wrong the DS is awesome but the sub is a bit more understated.
Will add a sub later this year for sure.

TimeOnHand · 11 February 2010, 12:51 AM

JUSTROLEXES · 11 February 2010, 03:29 AM

I like both but voted for the Sub,
If you will be wearing the watch everyday the Sub is a Better buy IMO

Kanger · 11 February 2010, 03:31 AM

Depends on your wrist. If it's huge, then Deepsea, if not, then Sub.

alphamale2012 · 11 February 2010, 03:36 AM

I already have a big watch so sub for me.

theken · 11 February 2010, 04:12 AM

16610 if it is your only Rolex.
If it is not, you will likely end up with both
