This watch is so sick. Every angle, and the lume is so hypnotizing.
It has one major flaw, I don't even know what time it is half the time since I look and then get distracted by one aspect or another.
Very fortunate to be in this club.

New to this forum so greetings one and all, recently picked up a G serial DSSD with the Mark 2 dial, sold a V serial version not so long ago and found I just can't be without one, love the DSSD.

More or less decided I've just got to have a DSSD.

Is there a "most desirable" model?

I keep reading that the Mark 1 is the one to have, then the Mark 2.
Also M or V plus other prefix letters.

If I'm going to jump I'd like to go for the most sought after version.

There is none. Internet hype. The only difference in any of those is dial font, and the difference in desire is based on what you like. I like th Mk 2 dial personally because of the more modern(imho) font and even spacing in the equals sign between "ft and meters".
Neither is more valuable than the other at this point. Maybe in 30 years, so if you have a time machine.....

I agree, it really doesn't matter if you go MKI or MKII, there is no price difference. I perhaps like the MKI dial a bit more but when it was time to buy back the DSSD I didn't see the point of picking up an early V-serial from 2009 for the same price as a LNIB G-serial with 23 months left on warranty at the same price.

These things only matter on enlarge photos on the internet, in reality you don't really see/notice the difference on the wrist.

Out of interest why does it not have the cyclops?

I never understood the need for the cyclop anyway. Unless they think their watches are really meant for the age group that could not see the date without magnification.

Don't forget the M serial from 2008!

The thickness of the crystal would have apparently caused the cyclops magnification to be out of focus, this was the same problem with the SD 16600 by the way.....

True that! :-)

I too, love the lack cyclops. None of my Rolex have cyclops on them (well, the Sub 16610 had it back in 1998 but I quickly removed it)
