ive read somewhere that ''the deeepsea isn't an everyday watch'' but for me this is not true, cuz i wear mine every day even to bed.
the watch is very confortable IMO.
this is a question for Deepsy owners.

Even though I voted for 3 to 4 days a week, the DSSD could very well be my everyday watch if it weren't for all the others clamoring for attention in my watch box. Personally speaking, I find it to wear very comfortably on my 7.5" wrist, and since I don't wear suits to the office, cuff-clearance isn't an issue for me. Oh, and I often wear it to sleep because the lume is so exceptional.
As an aside, I find it odd that so many are criticising the DSSD for being outlandishly large, when compared to many of today's modern divers (which are far less capable in terms of sheer depth ratings) it's the same size, or even smaller in some cases. Sure, compared to Rolex's traditional 40mm case it seems large, but folks, it's 2010, not 1960. Besides,the watch isn't large for the sake of being large, this is as small as they could make it and still hit their performance goals.

This is the first time on wus. Hopefully doing this right. Love my Deepsea.
I wear it everyday- never get tired of it.
Since purchasing the DeepSea it has been my most worn watch, it is basically my daily beater. It has only just started to share wrist time with my latest purchase, the even bigger Ploprof 1200!

Nothing for the moment!
I personally really like a couple of Tag's offerings...particularly the Carerra day/date although it's a little overpriced. The only reason i asked is because of the OP's love of Tag in the past.
I love the deepsea..it's the only Rolex I'd own. And I'd be proud to own one. 9200 is a bit much for me right now.
Hey, I'm Just kidding...........Tag Heuer watches have never really appealed to me, but I am sure that they have some really decent watches.
I know Rolex watches aren't for everyone, but I honestly I have loved each one that I have owned. I have only sold 1 Rolex, and that was my first. I used to be on the hunt constantly..........trying to find a watch that would fit the bill of the perfect diver. I don't have that yearning feeling to look at other watches now. I just about have all the Rolex sports line covered, but I just don't find that I even look at new watches that are being introduced by other brands or even the new ceramic line from Rolex. (Although I do have a DeepSea)
