Bad!

It's been about a year and a half since I let mine go.
I think I had convinced myself it was too thick even though I loved wearing it.
Now, I gravitate towards bigger watches for everyday wear (45.5mm PO, 46mm IWC etc) and miss that chunky sporty feel of te Deepsea on my wrist. Very comfortable.

It didn't help that I went to my AD yesterday and spent a good 30 + minutes playing with one.

Here's a pic of the one that got away...

thewatchguy93 · 23 July 2012, 06:35 PM

Ahhh man!! Travis bro, I'm with you, I miss my GMTIIC and my Green Sub sooooo much now... Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side!!!

Puffy · 23 July 2012, 06:38 PM

think you should buy it back mate

tattooedfagin · 23 July 2012, 06:43 PM

Mine would be the last to leave the nest & then only if things here turned seriously sour (which i hopefully don't experience).....

How · 23 July 2012, 09:19 PM

I look forward to hearing from you again with an 'Incoming DSSD' thread...

1William · 23 July 2012, 09:25 PM

Get it back. Great watch.

HL65 · 23 July 2012, 09:26 PM

Sounds like it's only a matter of time Travis--congrats in advance!

Dan2010 · 23 July 2012, 09:33 PM

You cannot resist the Deep Sea forever!

nauticajoe · 23 July 2012, 09:55 PM

I can't wait for the "Incoming" thread!

smellychips · 23 July 2012, 10:43 PM

lost count of how many people have sold and regretted it! ... AD where i buy watches commented on this very same watch last time i was in, ... seems people now look at the deepsea as the "right" size watch for the future

just my opinion so take it or leave it

SaddleSC · 23 July 2012, 10:56 PM

You know there is only one solution, my friend:)

NeedHelp · 23 July 2012, 11:02 PM

I tried very hard to enjoy the DSSD and will say w/o a doubt it is a super watch. I have purchased and sold one 3 times. As hard as I tried I just could not get over the size of the watch. I had a time when 44mm was the norm but have now grown to enjoy the size of the SUB C. Has anyone other than me purchased and sold the DSSD more than once?

Love the SNOW DeepSea

To OP your AD just called and your watch (DSSD) is ready to pickup

Gharddog03 · 23 July 2012, 11:59 PM

I'll never let mine go.

sleddog · 24 July 2012, 09:59 AM

Looks like you've got a decision to make Travis......

I say get her back!!

There's also another moderator on this very forum who flipped it, only to find out he had to buy another......No names of course!!

SaddleSC · 24 July 2012, 10:04 AM

Did you place your order yet, Travis?

liuk3 · 24 July 2012, 10:19 AM

It's never lost truly lost because you can get it back. The prices on the secondary market are also pretty attractive if you don't feel like you need to buy from an AD. Look forward to your reunion. ;-)

Dan2010 · 24 July 2012, 10:25 AM

Bring back the Deep Sea, bring back the Deep Sea, bring back the Deep Sea!

jorgemussi · 24 July 2012, 10:29 AM

did you sell it?

Silvio Mosiello · 24 July 2012, 10:42 AM

Op if it makes you feel better it looked way out of proportion on your wrist imho

I disagree. I think watches sometimes look bigger in these wrist shots than they do in real life. Anyway, I thought it looked great on you. You know what you need to do!

MortgageGuy · 24 July 2012, 02:35 PM

Been there done that

Just received another DSSD Saturday via Fed Ex, I was missing the chunky beast too... Love it, love it love it

I say it is time to go and get another

This is the kind of thread I don't ever want to write. I keep my DSSD on rotation because I easily miss it after a day or so of not wearing it. During this summer it is on Isofrane and in the winter will be on a variety of Ted Su leather. Am just not too fond of the steel bracelet though.

I think you ought to scratch that itch and pick up a DeepSea soonest!

gwalker · 24 July 2012, 03:17 PM

Simple way to fix your situation.... LOL

Z-Sub · 24 July 2012, 03:48 PM

Waiting to see your wrist shot soon in the future

Andelain · 24 July 2012, 07:24 PM

So where's the 'incoming' thread?

Puffy · 24 July 2012, 07:29 PM

here's mine....

Cru Jones · 24 July 2012, 07:49 PM

it seems like of all the watches that people let go, it's the DSSD that people regret flipping the most. please, DSSD owners, once you go DSSD, don't ever let it go!

travisb · 24 July 2012, 08:16 PM

You guys pics are awesome!

I might need to make a phone call...

FremStar · 24 July 2012, 10:04 PM

Damn! You folks are all bad!

Travis is here crying and everyone is teasing him with pics of their beautiful DSSD's! Where is the consolation here?

Please let the debauchery continue! I am looking forward to the incoming thread! Haha!
