Terrapin69 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 On another forum, I read the BP SD is the absolute best, I should steer clear off the eta movements, as they all use refurbs, and that the DSSD is an awesome every day watch...not too thick. Can anyone with experience chime in please and offer advice? Many thanks
asciwhite Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 The DSSD is very top heavy I think... I would get a ceramic submariner no-date for everyday wear.. Any color you like
Terrapin69 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 thanks pal - any suggestions? Noob vs BP? etc.....
asciwhite Posted February 23, 2014 Report Posted February 23, 2014 BP used to have a bad bracelet. My diver extension did not function properly. And I was not the only one having problems. I don`t know if they still do.... Maybe someone else can chime in here?? As I can figure out from reading is that BP is the best watch sans bracelet, and the noob has the better bracelet but has other minor flaws..
Terrapin69 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Posted February 23, 2014 gotcha - thanks man - I will look around
monkeypunch Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 I found the DSSD to be way too big. The Sea-Dweller is just right. The BPSD is a hell of a good watch with a little bit of work: I added a gen crown , Clark's hands and a TC bracelet to mine. 1
Terrapin69 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Posted February 24, 2014 very nice indeed - now, where to get one......
Jkay Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 If you want a watch for every-day wear, I can not suggest a DSSD unless you are a BIG GUY. It's a serious chunk of steel.
Mike on a bike Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 JKay I am as big as they come and I did not like it on.
Jkay Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 JKay I am as big as they come and I did not like it on. I've had one for four years now and while I love it, it beats up your wrist too much to wear every day.
archierocks Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 I've had one for four years now and while I love it, it beats up your wrist too much to wear every day. i can second that wore mine for two months solid and i actually bruised that little bone that sits out a bit on your wrist haven't wore it since lol
Nightwatch Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 The DSSD still is my toughest rep, it takes a beating if that is what You mean by everyday wear. With the micro-adjustable glidelock clasp it also sits so well on the wrist that I don´t mind it being slightly top-heavy. Than the BD Seadweller 16600 is an awfully good watch too as said above, also some 15mm thick
