Thinking about a Rolex Deep Sea Sea Dweller (DSSD)

Got the Rolex bug bad lately and this watch really really catches my eye.

Anyone have one? Reviews?

Thanks!

I wear 44 and 45mm watches. Rolex's look wimpy otherwise. This little morsel is 44mm.....

But someone did say the bracelet w/ 44mm looks odd, is that what you were thinking?

It's only awkward for people with small wrists. I have large wrists, wear it as my daily most of the time and love it. It feels solid and well engineered, unlike most watches in that price range. Feel free to pm me with any questions or post them here in this thread.

I think you are referring to the 43mm Deep Sea?

It sits rather awkward as it's incredibly top heavy with the standard bracelet that is shared down the line. These Images are from watchuseek and you can see it's way top heavy INMO. I went with the 42mm explorer as a daily steel instead. Again not my wrist or pics but maybe this helps you.

Boomsauce, if you got some big manly arms that make a Sub look small, then this might be the watch for you.
