    Top watch, but it's anything but beautiful.

    This and the Milgauss are the only Rolexes I'd consider buying. It's not beautiful but it is classic.

    Ah but beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Putting this alongside a truly beautiful watch - a 5513 or 6538 - is like putting Jo Brand alongside Helena Christensen or Julie Christie (to keep the chronology in the similie). But perhaps if you find the deepseaseadwelleroriginalgasescapevalveringlocksys temsuperlativechronometer beautiful, you could find Jo Brand beautiful too.

    the OP obviously intended to put a pic of a 16600 up.

    It's also extremely hard to get hold of apparently... I gave my name to Laings and WoS in Glasgow and asked them to call me as soon as they got one in. Fast forward many months later ... Still no call!!! :roll:

    Gave up waiting and bought a Daytona instead. Thankfully it was easier to get hold of from a good AD!!

    :lol:

    Love the original, but the DSSD looks bloated and over engineered to me, but as they say 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Enjoy yours 8)

    Hmmm :pottytrain5:

    The DSSD is a nice watch, however the proportions are all wrong - to thick and the strap is to narrow.

    Very subjective however perhaps the nicest Rolex would be (in not specific order)

    1. 5517,5513/12 (meters first) Sub
    2. 1665 SD - Slim
    3. 16750 GMT (Matt)
    4. PN Daytona (Panda)
    5. Explorer 1
    6. Rolex Prince/Brandcard
    7.1655 Explorer
    8. 16550 Explorer 2 (with Rail dial)
    9. 16800 Sub
    10. 16660 SD

    However for the most beautiful watch my choice would be the GP Three Bridges.

    IMHO

    A lovely watch but surely not the most beautiful.

    As others have said, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"; however, for me the writing on the inner bezel has always taken away from this watch. If you use it for the intended purpose, you hardly need writing on the bezel to explain the functions of the watch (that is what an manual is for).

    For me that's just an anti-faking measure. It would be expensive to engrave a chapter ring like that.

    That is truly gorgeous, but I'll have to stick with mine for the foreseeable future...

    Re: The Most Beautiful Watch Ever Made !!....photos!

    Well, I am in agreement with the OP in that it is a beauty and that from many angles there are examples of an engineering masterpiece in the fit and finish of the components.
    As an example just look how the Sapphire dome just blends into the bezel.
    I like mine very much.

    I have a DS and it's great.

    However it's not the best looking by a long way.

    I will say tho that that's your opinion n we all different.

    It's trivially easy to find watches that are more aesthetically pleasing than the DSSD.



    The DSSD is, to my eye, woefully under-braceletted. It's a massive watch and needs a suitably massive bracelet and clasp.
