Well now....
That's a sure honest opinion!
Thanks!
I was really thinking about this watch as a great weekend beater - great for summer in and out of the pool with the kids etc.
Points taken - well noted -
Are there comments on the other side of the coin? Anyone feel they can't live without this watch?
Thanks,

Owning a DSSD - How do you like it?
Hi - So, I'm thinking of adding one of these but I'm not so sure about the watches thickness. The case diameter doesnt bother me at all - what i'm concerned about is the thickness - is it truly a weekend warrior? How you those that own them enjoy them? Do...
DSSD
I own the watch and I wear it a lot when I am diving. The only reason why I wear the watch on my dives is that it is too thich and too heavy to wear in everyday life. However, I am also every now and then wearing on my dives Rolex Submariner, Blancpain FF...
Hey, Kari.
Long time no talk, my friend. Hope all is well! From what you said, I guess that this Deep Sea is a perfect tool watch for what it is made. As to wear it on an everyday basis, I agree with you, it is not that easy. But it has a lot of character, on aother...
Perfect tool watch?
I'm not so sure, Nico. From what Karl wrote, and I don't want to put words in his mouth, it's bulky, even underwater. So not a great tool. In any case, apart from a (frankly, ridiculous) increased depth rating what does this watch offer over the Sea Dwell...
It is not because it is Bulky that it is not a nice tool watch, Ben.
Historically speaking, you had several bulky watches which were real tool watches. Just one brand: Panerai, with its 47 mm to 60 mm watches, while this Rolex has a small 43 mm... Weren't they tool watches? Weren't they bulky? Best, my friend. Nicolas
Tool watch
Nicolas, The problem with SDDS in my opinion is that it is too THICK; not the diameter. Due to the thickness I have scratched the watch big time to the corals, wrecks, etc. And my SDDS has only some 100 dives behind. At the same time I find my Submariner,...
True, true...
But as you say, those were historical models. The main issue I have is that the Deep Sea, as a 'Tool' offers nothing over the SeaDweller, except bulk. As for bulky, wait until you see my vintage Decompression meter...THAT is bulky! (As an aside, where did...
SDDS
Hi Nicolas, I'm dreaming about some new watches in Mexico City at the moment... And it is 05:20 am lt here. I must be crazy. Yes, the Sea Dweller Deep Sea is a tool watch. But if a similar brarelet and bezel is added to a Submariner (300 m), that is in my...

For whatever it's worth...
At first I thought the watch was going to be too big for me to comfortably wear on a daily basis. I had originally thought it would be a weekend piece, but I wear it all the time, once I put it on, I loved it, It get's the most wrist time of all my Rolex'...
I have not had any other watch on my wrist since december...
I do not find the DSSD too thick, I actually find myself forgetting that I am wearing it and I had to get used to its small 43 mm diameter. The only exceptions is when I have to work on one of my cars but in those cases it is not allowed to wear any watch...
