After a year of ownership, I'm thinking of flipping or trading my DSSD. I have no problem with the size and fit, but I think I want a piece with some color on the dial other than black.

I was thinking of the following as possible suitors:

- 116613lb bluesy. I had a thread awhile back feeling blue about not having a blue dialed watch. Since then I picked up a birth year tudor snowflake sub and reacquired a blue pelagos. I love the pelagos as a beater watch on it's rubber strap. I'm not planning on flipping either of these and the bluesy will
be my first TT rolex. I don't mind another blue dial and don't mind my first venture into pm because it's such a gorgeous watch.

- 116622 Yachtmaster. Two options I like here. The basel2016 dark rhodium dial or the blue dial. I tried the dark rhodium while in Portugal and yes it's something new and different.

- 116610lv hulk. I have a 16610lv that I will not let go and has always been the justification for not getting the hulk. But man, I just love the sunburst green dial.

What would you choose?

Thanks!

I've chosen 116622 blyebdial but I wouldn't have it over the DSSD. I'd have it as well as.

Hulk

Snow-Dweller · 7 October 2016, 07:59 AM

BLNR or BLRO?

kilyung · 7 October 2016, 08:06 AM

Anything with gold

sleddog · 7 October 2016, 08:08 AM

How about the DSSD blue, if it's just a little colour you're after?!

AK797 · 7 October 2016, 08:12 AM

Great chance to step into PM with a TT.

x2. If you like the size and fit of the DSSD than the D-blue is the answer. Unless you are just bored of the DSSD in general.

Anything you go to will feel insignificant to the DSSD now..you need the d-blue.

I prefer the Hulk. The green is awesome.

Truth, part of the reason I gave up my smurf.

Good question and suggestion folks. I think i'm just ready to move on from the DSSD.

elkaholic · 7 October 2016, 10:40 AM

I've been interested in the DSSD lately for some reason, black dial version. I'm curious to hear your impressions of it for everyday wear, and what size wrist you're wearing it on.

As for your question...I voted for the Hulk among the options given, because as much as I love the TT Sub with blue dial, I like non polished center links even more.

Ritch99 · 7 October 2016, 10:42 AM

I would never part with my dssd...:)

Since you like blue and already own the Tudor Sub & Pelagos I would suggest the blusey 116613 as provides the most diversity (being two-tone). Excellent prices on these pre-owned.

A close second is the hulk because the sunburst green is beautiful and it is just a lovely watch. This can be purchased new as they do not lose much value.

I am not a huge fan of the yacht-master line personally but the blue dial is very nice. I feel it is too similar to the pelagos / tudor sub. I would also not recommend the blnr for this reason.

Since you like large watches and blue dials you really cant go wrong with a fluted blue stick datejust 2. This is my oddball suggestion.

psv · 7 October 2016, 10:48 AM

D-Blue or 116613 blue

brmeyers · 7 October 2016, 11:12 AM

Sticking with your choices, I picked the Hulk which I have and love.
But I have to say that I had a DSSD and liked it.
I HAVE a D-blue and love it. Currently it is hogging my wrist-time.

nobbylon · 7 October 2016, 11:15 AM

I have 8 inch wrist size and wearing my DSSD as my only watch at the moment and it's very comfortable. I wouldn't sell for any other watch.

Zilla99 · 7 October 2016, 11:20 AM

I voted Hulk

I would love details of your DSSD, price and what's included in the package..

Please PM.

Thanks,

maxbaris · 7 October 2016, 11:23 AM

Bluesy. Period.

AF_Rob · 7 October 2016, 11:40 AM

Liking the DSSD, I chose the TT blue Sub. With the taper of the lugs and case shape, the YM wears pretty small.

jeffgo888 · 7 October 2016, 11:42 AM

Bluesy or HULK, both winners. althought since you have other blue dials, go for the Hulk

Ruud Van Driver · 7 October 2016, 11:45 AM

Out of your choices I'd go Sub LVc all day every day; I love mine. It's a fabulous piece but, as has already been suggested, I'd go D-Blue. I have mine on now and it's awesome

From your choices, I think I would go LVc. I also like the bluesy suggestion, but would prefer the full gold version...especially coming from the weight of the DSSD.

roaddog359 · 7 October 2016, 02:02 PM

I picked Bluesy, but all your choices are great. The bluesy gives you some gold. I got the bluesy and I am trying to decide on your other choices for my next watch. I am leaning Yachty for something that look different than my sub. The yachtys I like are blue, rhodium and the chocolate TT one. I am stumped and cant decide myself. Good luck there are to many winners here.
