Dssd or lvc

My new dssd is wearing a little big, I am thinking should I have gone back to a hulk.

What do you guys think and do any of you have a side by side comparison photo?

Thanks
John

If you think it wears too big, it's probably time to move on.

I don't have a picture but the size difference is very noticeable in looks and in wrist presence.

Not the first time I've read a thread like this, a few members have sized down to a subc and to my knowledge didn't regret it at all

I am one of those that downsized from DSSD to a Sub-C and I don't regret it.

Wish I had a hulk to trade ya. I love my DSSD but we may have different wrist sizes which can make a difference. For sure if you're not head over heels for what's on your wrist.... is time to change. These things cost to much to just be "ok".
Good luck.

I have owned an LVC for two years. During that time, I have bought (and sold) two DSSDs. As much as I try to love it, I just find it too top-heavy and cumbersome to wear so I can never justify keeping it. The DSSD is definitely a technological marvel, but the LVC is much better for me as a daily wearer.

I've got them both and I'll posts some shots later. Got the LVC first and loved. Loved the feel vs my 16613. Then I tried on the DSSD and was blown away. It fits like a glove and I have a hard time taking it off. I love it. Sorry Patrick, I'm going to keep it for a while longer!

DSSD was too big for me too. Not the width, but the thickness. Bring back the original SD I say!

I love my LVC and have not had the chance to try on a DSSD in person (although I would like to). I can't really say either way.

Hi John,

I have both and gravitate towards the DSSD. Talking LV, I like my original LV over the Hulk though.

I preferred the DSSD to the old subs but the new subc wearing like a 42mm is perfect for my 7.2 wrists so unless your wrist is over 7.5 Hulk is the better choice.

Given those choices I would pick the LVc aka "Hulk".

I own both, and if I had to choose between one or the other, I would say LvC. For one I have a small wrist so the LvC fits a million times better, for two the dial on the LvC is irresistible!

It's all up to you in the end. However if you have a wrist that would fit this watch well, and this is your first one, then I'd say go for the DSSDc. I feel that getting the LvC is a watch you buy after a Rolex or two.
