I owned this watch before and flipped it cause i found it uncomfortable. I just bought it again 2 days ago and had the AD remove the "Diver Extension" and it is now very comfortable. I learned this info on TRF and I appreciate it greatly..

Just my 2 cents..Hopes it helps someone.

Found something similar with my SD4000 - removed the dive extension link and it fits and sits much better.

tkerrmd · 19 July 2014, 07:31 AM

I did that when first got it, makes a big difference

I think people who think it is top heavy or not comfortable don't have them adjusted correctly

Congrats on a truly amazing watch!

I only notice the weight when I first put mine on in the morning. After that, it's just another watch. It's never felt uncomfortable.

Great watch

kosari11 · 19 July 2014, 08:39 AM

This forum helped me solve the same problem on my DSSD. Removed th divers extension and life is good.

T01 · 19 July 2014, 09:36 AM

Amazing piece, glad it's more comfortable now!

Great piece
Glad it fits you comfortably now
Wear it in good health

I had also read on here about removing the divers extension for a better fit, so it came off the first morning. Because I never really spent any time with it on, don't really know if it's more comfortable or not. What I do know is it's a fantastic watch, with a great fit!

I've repurchased a few watches myself.... It sounds like you found a perfect fit...

Enjoy it,

Rolexpharm · 19 July 2014, 01:05 PM

Did you lose a lot of money flipping back and forth for this watch?

Nycturbovr6 · 19 July 2014, 02:59 PM

Looks like a fantastic piece

MaxCargo · 19 July 2014, 10:28 PM

The DSSD is my favorit. Its actually more comfortable than the 16600.
The case back helps to keep it in place.

MP5 · 19 July 2014, 10:50 PM

Total opposite for me, the sd4k is slightly top heavy the dssd is unwearable

Bangel · 19 July 2014, 10:54 PM

Good to hear you've found your sweet spot with the DSSD.

I too, have seen it posted here several times about the improved comfort with the diver extension removed.

nauticajoe · 20 July 2014, 01:15 AM

Making those small adjustments makes a world of difference.

Well, I flipped a few watches in between but yes ultimately I lost about a grand on it. At the same time I made a little on a few used watches I sold so I probably broke even in the end...

This watch is the one watch that haunted me after selling it....

Once I put the Diver's Extension Link in the box my DSSD became much more comfortable.

travisb · 20 July 2014, 09:25 PM

I had to do the same for a perfect fit.
Congrats on getting one back!
