i'll join the crowd and say either TT GMTIIc or LVc, but, since you say you love the LVc, it's an easy choice.

I own the DSSD and love it, but that LVC looked really good on you! As did the TT! But if you wanna go monster, there's only 1 choice...

Your photos really show the imposing mass of the DSSD.

I found it sat too tall on my wrist when I tried one on. My personal pick of the 3 would be the LVc.

Good luck with your decision.

I also think the DSSD is far too big/bulky and for no reason at all, very few people will ever dive anywhere NEAR those depths. I'm also not a fan of the domed crystal, it picks up reflections from just about any environment. Go for the SubC, from what I can tell, it was your favourite anyway?

After owning my DSSD for about a month now, I feel it's the only watch I'll ever need. At first I thought all the same things, too big, heavy, blah,blah... But like all things material one can get use to it, which I did. It's very comfortable, you'll easily forget the size and the weight. Now, if you wear dress shirts all the time for work, well then maybe the DS wouldn't be a great choice being that you might have a hard time fitting it under your shirt cuff. Otherwise, it's an amazing watch!

Agree bud, DSSD means I won't be getting another sports Rolex for a long time - it;s awesome. If I want to wear it for work I leave the french cuffs at home and go with a button cuff - looks awesome . When I felt the itch for something new I tried the new EXP II but it couldn't compare to the DSSD so I got a DJII!

DSSD is not too big - its your wrist that's too small!

Thought the GMT looked very good on you.

Agree
Definetely the Deepsea looks massive on your small wrist, LV or GMT look better on you.
On the other hand I love the Deepsea, its by far my favorite Rolex, it looks perfect on my 7 1/2" wrist

Deepsea looks like it's wearing you. I would choose the LVc.
