Hello everyone,

I recently sold my DJII and looking to purchase a new watch. I have narrowed down the contenders to;
1) DSSD Deep Blue
2) Sub 116610LV
3) Sub 116613LB
There is a 4th option non Rolex but very nice.
4) IWC iw3777-10 Pilot's Chronograph

All Rolexes are in stock at an AD I've bought from before so I would purchase there. The IWC is at a different location and they are willing to "talk" about price.

I do have a big wrist, 8 inches so size does matter a bit. Ideally I would like 3-4 watches in a collection. My 1st nice watch, a GMT II 16710 will stay for now. Talked to the wife and she gives me her thoughts, but is no enthusiast.

It is a fun tough choice, I like them all and would be happy with any of them.

Maybe you have one or multiple of the watches listed. Any concerns about fit?Which one gets more wrist time? Also heading to Vegas on Thursday, would it be better to buy there? I know there are many AD's there. Thanks for the help and have a great day.

Dave.

Sounds like you need the DeepSea !!!

Tony-GB · 21 November 2016, 03:37 AM

If it's not an every day watch you need a Cellini.

rollee1 · 21 November 2016, 03:56 AM

I like the 3777-10 but will not buy it new, unless you are really in love with it and never going to flip, their resale tanks.

For 8" wrist D blue 116660

Watchgeek5000 · 21 November 2016, 04:15 AM

This!

ferrissteve11 · 21 November 2016, 04:16 AM

At an 8' wrist you've got the wrists for a DSSD, many really don't. I've been wearing mine for 3 years and love it !! Plus its the king of the divers IMO.

GradyPhilpott · 21 November 2016, 04:22 AM

Give Tudor a look.

melrob1 · 21 November 2016, 04:36 AM

8" wrist....no question DBlue

There's an outside the box answer

I would go LVc here as it's the best watch on the list

With your wrist the deep sea is certainly an option worth considering if you don't like the size of a sub.

DB, rarer here than a rare thing made professor of rareness at Oxford university.

karim786 · 21 November 2016, 06:03 AM

Sub 116613LB - I love this watch

Rocco21 · 21 November 2016, 06:09 AM

Deep blue

JP Chestnut · 21 November 2016, 06:51 AM

Unless the talk they give you is "60% off retail", I'd skip anything richemont related.

brandrea · 21 November 2016, 08:03 AM

What about Panerai? Lots of choice and look great on larger wrists IMO.

roadrunner117 · 21 November 2016, 08:46 AM

I'd go Deep Blue or Hulk. Can't go wrong with either.

BNA/LION · 21 November 2016, 08:48 AM

Buy the Deep Blue Immediately!

thomadonahue · 21 November 2016, 08:48 AM

A Deep Sea would be awesome! It has monumental presence with it's weight and size; however, it does not feel uncomfortable. I have a 7" wrist and tried it one for fun and loved it. Good luck!

Shaky · 21 November 2016, 08:59 AM

D-blue

Everyone has a Sub, even me !!

IWC....nice but a big discount needed or I hope you are keeping it for a long time.

tommy91 · 21 November 2016, 09:09 AM

D blue

aekdb · 21 November 2016, 09:46 AM

Another deep blue vote here

And1dre · 21 November 2016, 09:49 AM

116610LV gets my vote.

rmlovett1 · 21 November 2016, 10:03 AM

Dblue!!

dbluevette · 21 November 2016, 10:06 AM

3) Sub 116613LB

sdgadave · 21 November 2016, 10:07 AM

Thanks everyone. Deep Blue and and LVc are my top two choices. I am heading there now. One last try on and one of them will come home with me tonight. I am going to try and work a discount also! If they want to sell a watch hopefully they'll give it. Minimum I'll take is no tax. Or else Trusted seller here I come. Thanks everyone!!

I'd go for DSSD Blue, if I had 8-inch wrist. Good luck for hunting!

Urosfan · 21 November 2016, 10:21 AM

For your wrist size deep sea for sure

gummy · 21 November 2016, 10:51 AM

I think you have them in the correct order...

1) DSSD Deep Blue
2) Sub 116610LV
3) Sub 116613LB

sdgadave · 21 November 2016, 01:34 PM

Well still on the hunt. I knew it would be tough on the LVc and the D-Blue. On the SubLB they would only do 5%. Knowing there are better deals to be had at other AD's or here I am going to wait. Going to Vegas for the holiday going to shop there. If anyone knows a good contact out there I would appreciate it. I think the LVc would have been the one, SubLB was sick too!

To be honest, the Deep blue and Sub LV are very popular models and most AD's can sell at full list without much display time at all. Unless you have spent considerable money with them in the past, you are probably not looking at any discount. You seem to be a perfect candidate for the trusted sellers if a discount is your sole goal.
