... when I took those pictures a few years ago as soon as this model was released.
I bought it brand new at a local AD, one of the very few of this model which arrived to my Country.
Never took the transparent decals protecting it. I couldn´t get to fall in love with it, and after a few months of trying my son discovered it on my wrist while I was trying it.
He commented he liked it so much. So as soon as he left, I put the big watch back into its box, attached all labels and manual, and gave him as a birthday present to him a few weeks later!
It is a masterpiece of a watch, awesome finish, high quality at every angle, a beautiful piece of watchmaking engineering... but... as I said before couldn´t fell in love with it.
I´m happy it is now in my son´s hands.
I didn´t like the way it rode on my wrist, its height and the heavy weight balancing above my hand. Curious as I own several Panerais which I love to wear, but the balance of this DSSD was totaly "un-Rolex" for my taste.
Que pases un lindo fin de semana amigo!
Cordialmente, Abel.
