I always hated on the ceramic maxi case models because of the fat lugs and what not, I'm still not a huge fan but I must say I really like the DSSD.
After testing it to it's 3900m rating in our Rolex hyperbaric tester I can really appreciate the technology.

It's a bit large on my wrist but I can just pull it off IMO.

It looks great on your wrist, especially the D-Blue!

nice!

I think it looks great.

What size is your wrist, out of curiosity? Your wrist looks like mine when I wear my SubC.

lukey77 · 15 September 2016, 02:48 AM

Photos always make it look bigger.... Go Blue... It's amazing!

Yes

The cool thing about the DSSD (well, ONE of the cool things) is that it doesn't have the squarish lugs of the Submariner maxi cases. It is able to be a big beefy case while still maintaining more classic lines.

Looks great on you Bas!

porschedude · 15 September 2016, 04:29 AM

I am a fan of both models, really like the blue.

True that

I'm not sure about the thickness though, it's enormous.

aekdb · 15 September 2016, 06:38 AM

They look very good on your wrists. I am really digging the blue

ferrissteve11 · 15 September 2016, 10:55 AM

DSSD is definitiely a sweet piece. Though I'm not really sold on the blue just from pics. Would have to see in person. As it stands the black one is sweet in my book.

Kiddodoc · 15 September 2016, 10:59 AM

Just traded by black DSSD for the Blue, really happy I did! Enjoy yours!

cervantes · 15 September 2016, 11:15 AM

Love the blue, one of the best rolex dials out there. Sadly I couldn't get on with the case size and weight.

I agree Dave, and it's got that ultra cool 5mm thick crystal

masyv6 · 16 September 2016, 02:59 AM

Nice pics!

drefrank · 16 September 2016, 11:40 AM

Really like that D-blue.

CLTRolex · 16 September 2016, 11:46 AM

Any pics of your you performing testing with the Hyperbaric?

No but I can take one next week, we test all Rolex watches in this machine as you can choose all depths up to 3900m on this thing.

GB-man · 17 September 2016, 01:45 AM

Have to say Bas this is the last Rolex I figured I would hear you give high praise.

Funny how watches change when you put them on.

I know right

it's just a very well made watch and the case construction to make it go this deep is really cool. Not sure if I'd ever buy a Rolex newer than 4-digit but I certainly like them.
But should I pull the trigger on a modern one it's most likely going to be a 116660, because the proportions are really good and I love the satin dial.

116600? Or are you the first person I've heard say the dssd has really good proportions

Hi Bas, shouldn't it be tested to 3900m + 25% ?
