Agree that only a handful probably will use ROLEX for diving. The best form of dive watch are digital ones. A G Shock will be more than adequate to do the job. But I ever wear my Sub date for swimming before. Looks very nice inside the pool. Try it man

when i go diving, i use dive comp.

They look similar. no point buying both similar watches. From far, most people can't tell at a glance.

[Darkangel]

take no offence. how many of us actually go diving with rolexes or high end dive watch?

for me, the deepest depth i ever went was 200ft, which is about 60m. i already almost felt out of breath. trust me, the pressue @ that depth for a normal recreation diver is considered big.

personally both 'divers' are meant for different markets. the SD are for hardcore divers while the sub is for recreational diver.

both are great watches to own.

Though it is more value for money in a sense,but some people do not like it without the cyclops and such a bulky watch. So ya...boils back down to personal perference. See which 1 smiles at you man

Yup. Maybe I used the wrong term. I meant there's Helium Escape and it's depth to 1000m, whereas sub date only 300m. So you see actually the SD is more value for money.

But then, because the crystal is made thicker in order to withstand pressures at 1000m, they are unable to include the cyclop, which I believe is an important trademark feature of Rolexes.

Anyone agree with me? Put resale value aside, SD r better buy(more value for $$$) than Subbie as it can dived deeper, list price higher.

yes it is possible to buy sub dial outside rsc, however, u take a risk if they are not original. it is your choice. however when u sent it to RSC make sure u have an original dial.

you have any idea where can i get an original dial then? when i chked with RSC they say the dial is controlled item we cant buy extra to keep.

[chows99]

Hmmm for me, i seldom seen pple wearing sub leh ... rather, whenever i am travelling in MRT, the only rolex watch model i seen are DJ ... TT, SS, full gold, etc ... haha

I think DJ n sub is more common bah.

I also agree that i feel that its a compliment when some1 is wearing the same watch as mine. Furthermore, its not a ordinary brand ....
