Let talk, SD or SD

[seadweller]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Prob been argued upon by many and will never be an end but i wanna know what this forum members think..

The 2 SD is Seadweller and Submariner SubDate (16600 and 16610)

Lets talk about them and tell me which one you prefer.
Lets not factor the fact that the Seadweller is discon soon but rather as a model aspect/view?
**lets assume the SD is not going to discon

You can factor in aesthetics or the specs or anything you want.

The Submariner has always one for the main Faces for Rolex watches.
But the seadweller has its own group of supporters

Which one will you choose and why?

---------------------------------------------------------------------


Me? If i had to go for one, it would be the SD as when i wanted one, i loved the whole sub and then i learnt about the SD and i wanted for like forever..

As for the sub, i still want one and will prob get the LV if i can

Sea Dweller is one of the most ruggard Rolex watches ever made. It's probably the only Rolex that has a date but has no cylop. Apart from this, the Dweller can go deeper.

The Sub Date is popular because it has a long history. Against the face of war with the rapid development of other dive watches, the Sub Date has remained sought after. And this is not just happening in Asia, but worldwide. Introduced since 1953, the Sub Date has been in production for more than 55 years, and the design has had little change so far.

I love cylops as it's the unique feature for Rolex, so unequivocally, I'm a fan of the Sub Date!

[psee]

I own both a Sub-Date and a SD and I personally prefer the SD a little more as it is a little less uncommon than the Sub-Date and the absence of the cyclop makes the date more readable ...

the absence of the cyclop makes the date more readable ...

think a bit far ahead, one day everyone will be getting old, cyclop could be helpful

[feudallordcult]

so glad someone brought this up

i'll be honest, if the subbie weighed as hefty as the SD, I would hv taken the plunge for the subbie anytime. I have actually contemplated for abt some 12-18months deciding between the two.

price was also another factor to consider. I just could not comprehend how a watch like SD could be bought at a greater discount than a subbie. the SD could go much deeper, it's mass of 147g compared to subbie's 135g may not be noticeable but IMHO, the cyclops on the subbie just doesn't work it for me.

so at the price of 7k reduced from 8191 compared to subbie's no discount of 7931, the choice was extremely clear to see. many of my firends told me that subbie resale would be higher which i agreed but if i am NEVER flipping this seamonster then wherein lies the resale?

I will get a subbie soon but it would def be an LV. A DS is also in sight but not in this decade for sure.

As for SD, it will always be the centre piece of very humble watch collection.

That day walked past City Chain. Nowadays Cyma oso came out with watches with cyclop. A look-alike to the Black dial explorer with its seconds hand in red!

[VKr]

I love my SD....

[^Lee^]

I went to shopping yesterday.

Within 1 hour, I saw 2 persons wearing a Sub Date,

see how popular they are

I give my vote to Sub Date, cheers

[whiteangle74]

I like both... if tonite strike 4D will get a sub.. If kana 1st prize will get sub n GMT IIc.. Hahahaha

[Arsenal]

right now I've the SS Sub Date & the TT Blue Sub, sold my SD lately, how foolish, but yesterday just made resevation for so claim last two SD in the AD coming in iabout two weeks time.
they are both nice watch, so iconic, can't afford not to have either

[seadweller]

It seems that the SD and Sub have their fair share of pros and advantages over the other (plus their own fan base) ...

Personally like i said before i love the way the SD looks but the Sub is also in my wishlist ..

Which Sub is more iconic over the rest and worthy of a one Sub wrist..?

SS
TT
LV

[minusplus]

Of course it's the SS one. But the LV one has a maxi dial which the rest doesnt have and the TT has a blue dial which looks nice too

[seadweller]

haha... that makes choosing a ONE sub even more harder...

Buy all 3. Of course not together la. Buy the SS, then the LV, then the TT
