 The watch is 51.4cm wide, 28.5mm high in total, with a 14.3mm thick crystal...
I would say that the only big daily problem is the thickness: Specially when the crystal's edge has so much "door grabbing factor"...
The watch didn't need to be so wide but then the same thickness and a 14.3mm crystal may have looked like a mushroom popping out off the wrist if the watch was 43mm like the DSSD: A bit like the Deep Sea Special is less extreme.
I guess Rolex tried to make it looking good and wearable somehow, even no man will wear it at 12000m.
