    DSSD - tomorrow's the day

    I acquired said new piece nearly two months ago, but tomorrow I will at last be able to open the box and take off the stickers. My 50th.

    Happy Birthday and don't forget some photos of that oversized, overpriced, limited edition, unpopular, discontinued watch, with an over tapered bracelet, as worn by Gok Wan.

    God, do I want one

    sorry but why did you wait 2 months for it? did you buy it then stick it away for your special day?

    or is this it coming in to the AD from an order 2 months ago?

    either way, congratz on your half century young man, and here's to the other half

    Thanks. It was on the wife's insistence that it was put away on the day of purchase. Soon came around though.
    I appreciate the good wishes, guys. Thanks.

    Lovely - thought the bloke hiding in the bushes might have spoiled the party but dogs scared him off - only jesting!

    You are a very lucky chap!

    Excellent choice, the DSSD is the one I reach for when going on holiday, I leave all the others behind.

    A couple more before I hit the road.....and then after that, the bottle!


    I recall being a real cynic about the DSSD, but that was before I got up and personal with one. Now I am simply in awe of its look, build quality and overall feel on the wrist (provided it is adjusted proper snug-like).

    Happy birthday and congratulations on your new DSSD. Always good to see another DSSD convert. I'd be getting a Rubber B with any birthday money.

    My word, that is a gorgeous watch.

    Happy birthday and enjoy that beauty.

  45. #45
    I've just swapped over from my 16610LV to the DSSD, after seeing your on the wrist pics :) I've managed to get a perfect fit with the clasp, but think I really need the extra link put back in the bracelet - will take a look at that this evening :)
    It's just a matter of time...
