White dial or black dial?
White

My vote goes to the DSSD. Better discount and less blingy and generally it's a much tougher watch all around.
:Cheers:
-
Oledi got a black dial sub why buy another that looks so similar?
Daytona!

I vote Daytona :thumbsup:

U will find, one is from old generation
If u want Daytona then wait for new Daytona
N prepare to pay more

Hi Jacky, if you have a medium or small wrist n you like some complication its daytona hands down. If you have big wrist n at present you don't own an SD or Sub , then go for the DSSD. Both are totally different in design n usage. JUst my opinion..fr .tony.
-
DEEP SEA.
Reason being the white dial 116520 look plain and blah to me.
Of course there's something not so nice about the DSSD, the bracelet. If Rolex release a bigger bracelet next year then I will probably give the DSSD a go.
I don't love the DSSD but I dread the 116520 especially the white dial.
Hence the reason I choose the DSSD. Don't get me wrong the DSSD is one hell of a watch only weak point is the bracelet.

I support the DSSD and even the new DSSDC
Looks like the watch version of Hummer H1 and H2
-
For your info. My wrist size is 6.75 inches
-
I don't get it. Sorry for being stupid. Is there a new DSSD? what's a DSSDC? Is the C suppose to be "Ceramic"? I thought DSSD already has a ceramic bezel. Or is there a new full ceramic DSSD that I am not aware of. Sorry for me asking stupid question.

Hi, Jacky,
If your wrist size is 6.75 inches, maybe you go for the Daytona which I believe still comes in a 40mm case(??). Having personally tried the DSSD, I find it does not sit well on my wrist (OK, OK, of course, I am fat, with 8 inch wrist). Compared to the sub or sub-date, I also find the DSSD a LITTLE less legible to read, maybe because of the thicker crystal and the light diffraction / deflection etc. I can't comment on the Daytona because unlike you folks I don't have that much spare cash. Or maybe you can emulate Danny, kinng 2 birds with one stone: Get an Omega Seamaster with chronograph - a diver with chrono function (and plus date - which the Daytona does not have)!!!

Hi terrence, gloomis must have meant Deepsea challenge which was produce 4 the Mariana trench dive to about 11,000m plus which was not produce commercially . fr .tony.

You idiot 'C' stand for Comex :Startled: not Ceramic... :Laughing_on_floor:
@Enkidu,black dial daytona legibility is the worst compare to my other watches

I was comparing the DSSD to the sub and sub-date.

:laugh: DSSD for me.
Daytona 40mm is kinda small. Also it can be a scratch magnet. (if u dont like scratches. Some may say scratches add character. But i personally dont like it. :)
DSSD is a real tool watch. My personal experience is that the first time i tried it, i was like "nah, its too big too heavy", and its really wobble around your wrist if u dont adjust the bracelet. but becoz i really love the watch. I have decided to buy it (tat was a second round) and try it with bracelet properly adjusted to my wrist size. Surprisingly, its not too big and not too hard to handle as i first thought. Now i love DSSD very much. :thumbsup:
-
Go for Deepsea See Dweller :thumbsup:
-tough :thumbsup:
-less shiny than daytona :thumbsup:
-Look cool bro :thumbsup:
-I cant wear it :thumbsdown: but you can :thumbsup:
Only thing that impress me in Daytona
-Most simplified chronograph movement in my opinion compared to other in house chrono movement
-Small, no problem wearing it ;D
-Had mix feeling (on/off feel) toward it. ::)
-
Daytona of course..
The DSSD looks ridiculous on small wrists.
-
DSSD is a real tool watch.
Let's be honest, if the consideration is to get a tool watch, then a Casio will do. Zillions more functions.
-

Agreed. Not only do you need a wrist of some prominent size, it should also be HAIRY. Otherwise, it looks like some pre-pubescent trying out his dad's or big brother's watch.

Lets be precise. We are talking about "Rolex Dilemma". NOT "Casio Dilemma"

Hi Jacky , you have got to make your own decision . Ours are just opinions n suggestions only.Either one n you won't go wrong. The comfort of wearing DSSD (210 gm.) will not be as good as the sub. I have both these watches n a SD as well.One man meat is another mans poison, go 4 the 1 your heart n head desire most... just my opinion..fr .tony.. :Confused:

Neither. Want the weight and the worth of the weight, Lange 1. Wanna wear with suit for class and other times, sporty with shorts and Ts, Nautilius is good for both occasions.

i fail to understand the raves on the SD or DSSD. furthermore, the Daytona has a chrono which some may use but the SD or DSSD has only got the helium escape valve and going underwater for 1000++ metres which sadly, none of us will likely ever use unless it's a one-way trip.
-

I would agree with this statement only if the wearer is diving to the bottom of some oceans like that Cousteau fellow or if the watch will turn his wife /gf on every time he puts it on. Let me say it again, the dilemma I am sure is between 2 great timepieces from Rolex. Which one is more useful or a better "tool watch" (whatever that means) is probably secondary to how it looks and how it feels on the wearer's wrist and whether it will be a magnet for the girl he is eyeing, or whether he needs the date function when he fills up a form or if he likes to play with the chrono function while waiting at the traffic lights.

Absolutely agreed.

Daytona has a history, in Rolex stable as well as in the chrono market. For yrs up to now, daytona s/s carries the flagship for rolex in the sports range. It is the only Rolex watch that trades at a premium over its LP.
DSSD truly comes alive after sea dweller is discontinued. All these while, probably cos of the pricing or the thickness, it is less popular than the sub or the gmt.
To me, the daytona is one of the most comfortable timepieces of all rolex watches for 6.5-7 wrist, along w datejust 36mm. The finishing is one of the finest, a complete detailing and design meant for the daytona only. If you are into design or tooling, you will appreciate the efforts and attention that go into making the daytona; rarely found in a sports watch.
Both the models are equally desirable, you cant go wrong on the sports marque. If you are in something more rugged and robust, go get the DSSD. If you wish for a 'more gentle' sports model, go get the daytona. As explained by our bros, forget about the function, a casio will probably serve you better.
If you are getting it preowned, then I think daytona will hold its pricing marginally better. You wouldnt lose much on the SD too. Go surf Spore and HK and it will give you a better picture of the pricing.
It is all strictly my opinion n I hope I wont get bombed again for my comments. The journey in choosing your grail is the most exhilirating ride. Enjy the ride.

I can not agree on the view in terms of usefulness on these modern Rolex sport model.
First thing all mechanical watch are pretty much useless when compare to digital or quartz. Any discussion should just end right here. Everyone should only go home with either a radio control Casio or quartz Citizen if we talk about usefulness.
I know we need justification for buying an expansive toy (that's what these watches are anyway) and I think usefulness is a bad benchmark.
Is like asking what's the practical use for the ability to run very fast in a short distance. None! Unless you are a thief. Then person like Usain Bolt shouldn't exist. Or his only career is to be a thief :laugh:
The history of SeaDweller is rich and in terms of usefulness (back in the days anyway) the SD beats the daytona hands down.
The SD was never meant to be a civilian watch. It's sole purpose is to be a diving instrument for saturation diver (deep dive). Co-develop with COMEX. Rolex really fulfill the spirit of Tool Watch with the SD.
This is the reason the SD was not popular. It wasn't meant to be sold for the mass market. Until ref 16600, the SD need to be special order from the AD. Almost impossible to see any ready stock. While the manual Daytonas a plenty and not selling. That's right. No living soul wants a Daytona until Rolex introduce the automatic version, 16520. That's 1988, not too long ago.
Interesting trivia, the SD along with Explorer and Milgauss are only available in stainless steel. Why? Do you need a gold or 2 tone tool watch?
Now the GMT, Subs, Daytona are available in all kind configurations. (Diamond Leopard skin! :o) I think Rolex knew the who these watches they are selling to and that's why Rolex made them.
Yes, no one with a desk job really need a watch that weight a ton and depth rated for 4000m. Actually no one really need a watch since cell phones and computer can do the job.
Are we into watches because of it usefulness? or because we are passionate bunch and resonate with other human spirit. The brave one who dive down to 600m, the strong who climb up to Everest and a watch company who will dedicate its resources to develop a watch that will never fail you when take it to the extreme. (I love the spirit of the old school Rolex)
Again please don't feel offended. I just wish to share the story of SD. A watch that still carry the old spirit of Rolex. (Rolex official if you reading this, do something on those skinny bracelet on the DSSD so that I can wear it!!)
PS Jacky any one of these 2 model are fine watches but it's not exactly comparing apple to apple so you won't find a clear answer here. ;)

I totally agree with Tyler....
But the competition in quite in tense now 18 to 21....
I am slightly leaning towards Daytona now...
-
Well said Tyler. :thumbsup:

Jacky either one n you won't go wrong ,also both command the highest list price for a SS rollie watch.. regards tony..

DSSD bcos daytona is the only rolex sports watch that i think is ugly, which i have never even considered buying....pls dont flame me....just my personal opinion... :Startled:
-
I will ask myself
1. Do I need a date or a chrono?
2. Which one look better?
3. Which one I would like to wear? In what occasion? How often I gonna wear it?
4. Maintenance cost is an issue to me?
N lastly
Which one my wife won't get angry or less noticeable....
-
I vote DSSD over the Daytona. If it was a black daytona, I would have voted for it. But either one you choose, it will be the right choice in the end. Asal ada beli after results are known, that is the most important factor.
