Well couldn't agree more on the comparison with body builders that have bulked up their uppper body neglecting their lower part of their thigh, legs etc :Startled:

More so on the Sea Dweller and also the Sub date and no date version of the bracelet ..... sigh. Well I'd guess people will get used to it since it is a ROLEX which can do no "wrong" ....  :Laughing_on_floor:

I've worn the GMT2c TT (which is about the size of a Sub) and am currently wearing the DSSD. It's a massive beast and it takes some getting used to. Not for everyone, and I feel the GMT/Sub size is more suitable for the regular guy.

However I'm quite big sized, (6ft and 90kg) so it suits me lar and surprisingly comfortable. I would not swap it for the smaller Sub or Gmt since I love the size. Not for everyone though.

I"m already wearing a Pam, I'm quite used to larger watches I guess.  I've looked at the 40mm Rolex, but it just doesn't feel right for me.

Enjoy your Rollie!!

Bro why not take a look DSSD from grey seller
You don't get AD treatment but surely able to save few $K
And they are more to watch passion

My wife got her 16622,  116610LV and 104060 from grey seller
So far no issue

Go ahead and get one dssd, you wont regret. the only  few modern rolex sports watch still with the sleek lugs shape.Dont bother abt people condemning the bracelet tapering down towards the clasp, but if u look down from 6 o clock it actually has good proportion and it looks smaller than your Pam base. For those  lugs on steroid is a no for me.. regards tony

Ya, as long as you are allowed to touch and inspect the watch, very easy to spot fakes. Reputable grey dealers offer good deals and will never risk their reputation, so nothing to worry about.

Not that big lar, if you like PAMs, it's about that size also:



I'm wearing an XL dress shirt so it fits nicely under the cuffs.

It's the lettering all round that makes no sense to me.. Do I need to be reminded of the ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE and RING LOCK SYSTEM every time I glance at the watch? Would have been more appropriate on the caseback.

Epic ROLEX fail if you ask me...

One man's meat is another poison. there are many critics of this watch which i find baseless.
