not a fan of colourful watches

i will pefer a standard DSSD

save the 15k for another watch

That was my opinion before too but i suggest you should have a look on the dial by personally handling the watch at an AD or Boutique. I bet it will change your perceptions. The dial do make big difference to the watch. Dont get me wrong, even i prefer the SubC LN over the SubC LV but this deepsea dblue dial is one of the most eye catching dial i've ever seen  :thumbsup:

i seen it, tried it....
i can even get u one
but personally i dont like it

Cant wait to get mine soon, excited to share pictures with members  ;)

We'll be waiting for the pics- the D-Blue is a stunner and you simply can't go wrong with it... unless you have a way too-small wrist, that is. That piece has got presence! :Cheers:


Thanks! :) i tried once on the black dial and i have a 7 inch wrist and the watch sits perfect on my wrist , just love the large and thick case

I see, maybe the watch is not your cup of tea.

Well diffferent people have different taste,

I guess in this case. You would go for Tuttonero instead? :)

Between the two, deepsea wins it for me. I love the look. However, I dont like the fit on my wrist. I have owned 2-3 deepsea but so far I have always put them on the trading block as I find it uncomfortable.
Your ONLY job in this world is to make sure that you are happy

Id go for the Panerai. I love how all Panerai looks and I just dont love the rolex look. If there is another choice, id go Tudor Pelagos. But thats just me.

I do love panerai watches too but Rolex and Tudor has almost the same design btw. The tudor pelagos is nice but i think i would go for DBlue than pelagos. Yeap different people with different taste :)

i owned DSSD, i love it... it sit well on my wrist, i like to feel the present for my watch.
what i dont like the D blue is the colorful dial ! especially the lume green text printed

pam i like, again not this model, i love those like their vintage, 2 hands ( gold / blue )
as simple as it can - base

Would love to see some of your wristshots on Deepsea! ;)
You wouldn't even consider the D Blue even for a very good offer?

The only Pam that caught my intention on acquiring one will be the PAM 372 IMO,
Base case with gold hands. Im going for that after my D Blue purchase lol

I love PAM's but in this case i will go for the Deepsea DBlue since im acquiring only one watch. I love PAM 372 but i'll go with the DBlue then i would add the PAM 372 in my collection. I just love the simplicity of the dial with the gold hands. I would definately go for all if my budget is higher, if you know what i mean hahaha ;)

My vote for the deepsea...if you want GMT function, why dont you go for the GMT Master ii BLNR- i have one and I'm loving it. If you need a bigger dial, i would go for PAM, but not the one here  :P
