New watch! - Rolex DSSD

Post by Zidane » Sat Nov 25, 2017 8:00 am

Just came in this morning! I’ve always wanted to try one of these but I’ve been nervous about the size.

I started looking into these more closely lately as I’ve wanted a bigger watch. I’m 6’4” and about 265lbs so I figured I could pull it off.

My buddy had one for sale and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. G serial from 2012 with a full set; everything including the original sales receipt. The original owner put it on a rubber B from the dealer (seriously, he specified it on the receipt), so the bracelet is mint. There’s still stickers on the clasp.

Here’s some quick pics with my 1986 (birth year) 16660.

Initial thoughts- way more comfortable than I thought it would be once sized and I don’t mind the chapter ring like I thought I would. All in all I’m extremely happy with this purchase. I think this will add some nice variety to the other 40mm Rolex watches in my collection.

Congrats, Nick! I think the DSSD is a great watch. It's a really fun watch to wear and perfectly fills the niche it intends to.

NIck,
I too have never tried the DSSD, despite always wanting to.
I think you've got a watch for life there - it looks perfect on your wrist. Well done :cheers:
