I've got a 7.5" wrist and it works just as well with suits and cuffs as with short sleeves
Agreed 100%

I've had up to 6 in the collection and on rotation.

Down to 2 currently with a view to letting one go very soon.
The MK II DSSD will be an absolute keeper.

Never seen a Deepsea Blue yet but I may be swayed at some point when I've seen it for real and if the price is really, really good.
Unlikely at this stage

I don't think that you can make an absolute statement about anything but death. Even some evade taxes. However I do see a lot of people flip DSSD's for whatever reason. But it seems like people always go back to the DSSD well at some point. It is just such a mechanical beast. It's nickname should be BeastMode.

To the OP, the DSSD looks great on you. I've tried it on and would love to get one in the future!

Saw the D-Blue recently - really, really nice and, if/when I get round to buying a DSSD at some point, would probably go for that one.

X 2.

Been wearing mine 24 hours a day on my 7.25" wrist. Had a 45mm PO and thought it felt much bigger and nowhere near as classy!

My Daily Wearer

Picked up my D-Blue in September (great price and experience with DavidSW so if you get tired of waiting & also want to save a few $$$, highly recommended). Sub & Panerai have gotten no wrist time since. Very comfortable and contrary to what some say, fits fine with dress shirts (either french or barrel cuffs; wear both). I have a 7.5' wrist
