Had to vote sub on this one. If you own only one, the sub is the better choice IMHO. Simple yet versitile watch that can be worn with jeans/Tshirt or a tux, and lower intial cost.
But both are great watches. I have a TT sub and would love to get a DSSD soon as well.

Voted for the Sub. It's a classic, iconic watch that sums up Rolex's past and present. The DeepSea may once become a classic, we'll see.

Thanks to everyone that has voted so far and put across their great advice and viewpoints. It is much appreciated. The candle stays burning long for the Classic Submariner.

Both are great watches to own

Subs are a dime a dozen (). I own several of them too
But I like the massive feel of the DSSD on my wrist .

It has to be the DSSD. Nothing else comes close.

I voted for the Deepsea. That gets most of my wrist time in the last month, since I received it before Christmas.

The Sub is a classic, however...

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

The deep sea looks amazing however i am not so sure about the inscriptions. Am I the only one who finds it a bit tacky?

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.

No I think it looks bad as well.
We have seen the yacht master called the clown master, for me the dssd is the circus dweller.
