DSSD Glidelock

Love the ability to change the bracelet size while still wearing the watch. Brilliant. Appreciate it more the longer I have the DSSD.

Love the entire DSSD from the size, dial, bezel, weight, solid bracelet, lume, and especially the domed crystal.

I begrudgingly had to trade away my DSSD because of my current financial situation. I deeply regret letting it go. I need to get it back soon. I love everything about it and planned on keeping it forever.

It is one of the most solid feeling, well made watches I've ever had. I plan to keep mine for a long, long time

It is simply amazing. I love all my Rolexs, however the DSSD feels so substantial, so solid. You really feel like you are wearing a watch that dwarfs all others...There're are bigger and heavier watches out there but they are not Rolex.

Funny you just posted this. I posted something similar on another forum just a short time ago. It's a great feature.

I have coveted one for a couple years now. The "watch fund" is there now. Going to my AD to look/haggle Thursday. Hopefully we can agree to disagree to agree on my number. Love it.

x3

And even the so much argued height is just fine.
Good luck bdex on reaching an agreement. The funds must be burning in your pocket.

Nice pic!
The clasp being exclusive to the DSSD makes it that much cooler.

I think Rolex missed a trick with not installing this on the New SD!!

I actually find it very difficult to use while on the wrist. Maybe for making smaller, but definitely not larger as you have no fine control when using just one hand.

Handy, for sure, just not a one-handed job for me.

I'm guessing they didn't include it on the new SD so it would remain exclusive to the DSSD.

It's a great feature...but then you find yourself adjusting it 10 times a day.

I have a SD from 2002....adjusted it twice since then....and it fits fine.

Once do to weather change the other I ate too much that week


I had one and loved it...only sold b/c I didn't like how high it sat off the wrist....wouldn't mind having it once again
