    Now those are 16 minutes of pure joy and useful information. Love this format of videos.
    I own the 3 watches, love them all. For my 16.5 cm wrists the sub is the way to go. Sometimes I enjoy the James Cameron but for few hours only. On your large wrists, the James Cameron look phenomenal

    The trick with the Deapsea is to just have it tight against your wrist. Mine doesn't budge. Yes it's still kind of top heavy but it doesn't move. I absolutely love this watch and I can wear it all day with no problem.

    Excellent topic, im a Rolex dive watch fan, so I went into my AD and tried on all three of these, ended up waiting for but now have got my new 44mm Deep Sea Sea Dweller, so happy with the size, weight and the micro adjustment in the strap. Its big, not everyone wants that, but a Sub was just too small

    I would take the no date Sub over the other two all day. The 124060 is the best watch in their total line up imho and has been for some time. . Ticks so many boxes at a relatively affordable price by Rolex standards. Proper tool watch. Aesthetically pleasing without the cyclops. Elegant. Simply timeless.

  • @lensezz
    @lensezz Před 10 měsíci +3

    I have tried SD43 and DSSD 126660 in the store and both watches wear big for my 6.5inch wrist. However, I am not bothered by the size at all -- I accept the size for what it is and do not expect them to wear like dressy watches. Pulled the trigger on the DSSD JC due to its dial and domed crystal are very unique and interesting to look at. Not to mention its amazing clasp, it is so easy to make quick adjustments on the fly with just one hand, and I wish Rolex could put the same adjustment system on every one of their watches.
    Its definitely one of those watches that has to be wore above the wrist bone with a tighter fit. I find that the case back would stick to my skin pretty quickly once I put it on, it would not flop or move around at all once the bracelet is properly fitted. And thanks to the amazing adjustment system in the clasp, getting a perfect fit isn't difficult.

  • @realalexmackenzie
    @realalexmackenzie Před rokem +9

    Very helpful! Thank you! I've owned the black dial DSSD, but found it just too thick. Also did not like the crystal distortion. I'm sitting with SD43 on as I write this. I would agree that for those of us with little larger wrists, the SD43 is the right one. I do appreciate the cleaner Sub bezel, but not a deal-breaker. The one thing I would love to do is to retro-fit the DSSD clasp onto the SD43 bracelet. Being able to make the on-the-fly adjustment without having to take the watch off was heaven while I had the DSSD.

    • @djones1304

    Usually I am not drawn towards Rolex but that dial of the Deepsea shading from blue to black is just gorgeous! Anyway I expected it to be heavier than the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph from 2009 I just have on my wrist. Just checked its weight: 243g. It doesn't always look perfect on my wrist but fortunately it is wide enough that it still works. For me tool watches are allowed to be chunky and heavy.

    @kev-the-windsurfer. Před 11 měsíci +1

    I rock a 116660 Deep Sea most days, I have a 7 3/4" wrist, I also have a TAG Aquaracer 42mm and an Omega Speedmaster Professional, the Deep Sea is my fav wear.....It took a few days wearing the Deep Sea when I first got it to understand how to wear it, the glidelock is your friend, I found I do wear it a little tighter than my other watches as it is a substantial chunky piece, but I do absolutely love it, I like the bold look, but understand others may not necessarily like that....For me I don't like the way Submariners wear on my wrist, it feels too small to me as do the GMT's (sadly as I'd love a two tone GMT), I did try a few different models of Rolex dive watches before settling on the Deep Sea 116660....Nice review, I enjoyed that.

    I've tried on all these watches as well. With a 7.5" wrist I could wear either the Sub or the SD43 but I prefer the slightly larger SD43 with the red text on the dial. Not mentioned in the vid, the new sub has full AR coating while the SD43 only has it under the cyclops. More reflection for sure, something to know if that bothers you.

    The Deep Sea 126660 fits me perfectly and is a truly special watch in my view. It wears more comfortably than any other watch I've owned. I don't know what kind of engineering went into the wearing experience, but it's incredible. If you're on the fence due to the specs or others' opinions, give it a chance and see what you think.

    Just saw your video. Great comparison. Direct and to the point. A nice coincidence since I took delivery of my SD just yesterday from my AD. I’m able to relate to everything u mentioned. Was offered a choice between the Sub or the SD. AGREE 100% that the SD is perfect for those with slightly larger wrist. Beside that, I personally like to feel the heft of a watch on my wrist. Call me weird 😂. Keep up the good 👍 work.

  • @Nexus.Achiles
    @Nexus.Achiles Před rokem +8

    Very nice little comparison C thanks Oisin.
    For me, the SD43 is the closest thing to perfection on my 7.2in wrist. The Sub is nice but a little bit underwhelming to me. The Deepsea is not for me. I find the dial too small for the case, the ringlock is an eyesore, bracelet too narrow, gradient dial so-so and the whole thing just looks clunky to me. I find other extreme divers much better looking, like the Omega Ultra Deep and the Breitling Seawolf, for example.

    • @peters8011
      @peters8011 Před 10 měsíci

      doesn't matter about wrist size, you need the arms to go with it. You haven't seen the DeepSea Challenge if you think this is big

    • @Nexus.Achiles
      @Nexus.Achiles Před 10 měsíci

      @peters8011 That's like saying you can wear big shoes if you have big thighs. Makes no sense.
      If you have small wrists and the watch lugs overhang, the size of the arms doesn't matter. I've seen the Challenge worn on regular wrists with big arms, and it still looks like a clown watch.

    Well got the call today. I was offered the Sea Dweller instead. I declined and said my heart is set on the 41mm sub. Maybe a mistake?
    I'll bring my sales rep who called some treats next week, thank him for the call and hope he wasn't disrespected by passing on the offer. The wait will continue. Honoured to get the call regardless.

    Hey Olsin, watched your live stream. Have a black date sub and happy with it. Have a 7.5 inch wrist and can pull all three of them, but love the color of the Sea Dweller, it's not the diameter, or the lug to lug, it's the girth and weight of the Sea Dweller. And agree, the Deep Sea would fit perfect. Still not worth trading up to me. Not a wunder lust person like some of our friends.

    My choice between the three would be the Sea Dweller. A real-spec diver, compared to the Sub (I find the newer version a bit boring tbh), and not a behemoth like the Deep Sea. That being said, I would take the Blancpain FF titanium over all three any day of the week.

    Owned all 3 but now only have the SD43. Agree with you Oisin, it's the goldilocks model. The DSSD dimensions between case thickness and bracelet just look odd. The DSSD and SD43 wear better if the extension link is removed. The DSSD also works better on a rubber B strap.

    Thanks for that video. I have a Doxa 1500T with a silver dial called Searambler I think you might like that watch. I wear that watch on my 71/4 in wrist.

    Just got my SD 43 couple days ago. It's ceazy how nice it is. And I also have a tudor pelagos, whichI love.. . I went for the SD43 because it was available. The deap sea had a one and a half waiting line.. But honestly, if they'd had both watches in front of me, I don't know what I would've done.. deep down, thought, never more apropriate to say, I think the SD43 is the right watch. More versatile. Glad I wasn't force to chose.. Super happy with SD43,
