rjk Posted January 26, 2014 Report Posted January 26, 2014 You guys that choose DSSD/SD over subs or subc is it mainly due to the cyclops issues or what is it that makes those models more appealing? I notice more of the former being sold or traded but noob v2 for example tends to rarely come up. Just curious what your thinking was when deciding to buy one over the other.
mr_slippery Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 Yup, I hate the cyclops. My BK 16600 with reshaped CGs and a TC bracelet makes me very, very happy. Only thing I'd consider a worthwhile improvement at this point is to get a gen insert.

Arctos Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Where can i buy tc bracelet sir? Buy it from TC. Well, to be precise, ask TC if he'll sell you a bracelet separately. Look under "TC Submariner" lower down on the front page.
Nightwatch Posted February 1, 2014 Report Posted February 1, 2014 It´s a nice, big, chunky watch without Cyclops that isn´t instantly recognizable as a Rolex. When I got mine it was the only black Rolex I could get. SS bracelets often are either to loose or they get to tight when You are flexing hands, working etc. this is partially solved with the adjustable ceramic sub rolesor bracelet and perfectly addressed with the micro-adjustable clasp mechanism of the DSSD. Think it´s one of the reasons it wears so comfortable. The subc I didn´t like it instantly, had to get used to its looks. The 16600 series Submariner and even more the Seadweller are "the" Rolex, those and the Datejust. this is what I mean:
Vegasvic Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 DSSD all the way for me, although I still plan on picking up a high quality sub, probably from TC. The first time my local contact showed me the DSSD, it was wrapped up in new blue bubble wrap, and looked absolutely amazing! I knew it was a Rolex, but what kind is that?? The heft and wrist appearance blew me away. To me, (and this is just my two cents of course), DSSD just looks like a bigger, more aggressive version of the sub. Definitely not for everyone, and there are those who hate the DSSD, but I love mine.
danielv2000 Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 I like the no cyclops look, the HEV and it also looks more badass than a Sub.
astonjenks Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 Personal taste is what it's all about. Take my Baron the limited run of 10 PB DSSD's that he created with removed CG's and blue second hand and pearl, I've added a cyclops as the date is so tiny and I personally associate the whole cyclops deal with Rolex, personal taste as I say AJ
