114060 and SD4000

[simongpaez]

Anyone here who owns both? I love my Sub but can't take the SD out of my mind, I don't think I could part with my Sub but I am not sure its a good idea having both. Any thoughts? What would you rather have Sub or SD or both ;)

IMO they are much too similar to have both. I would keep your 114060 and go for something else!

+1. keep one and fund a different one

[FTX I]

Very different. Get it!

[REFZ]

I own both models and they are my only two Rolex watches.
It's often said that they look similar but they are definately not the same watches.

Is it too much to ask for a side by side pic 😄?

Tks

Love the SD 4000 better, rather have either one but not both, theyre look alike.

[captkevin]

Would love to have both, but if only one it's the seadweller for me

[swils8610]

I've owned both...still have the SD4000. I prefer the smaller and trimmer lugs of the SD4000. I also need a date function.

[dukerules]

Love both, but slightly prefer the 114060.

One or the other, but I'd keep your Sub, it has all the heft and wrist presence you need. It's durable, reliable, versatile and iconic. Only on this this site will you get the pitch about how different they are, how you can and should have both. In the real world, they are indistinguishable.

[Speed]

I like the fact that the Sea-Dweller is not as common as a Sub. and I like to go sans Cyclops from time to time :-)

[AK797]

Depends on if you have other Rolexes. If not then I would say yes.

[BonitaBeast]

If I were to choose one, SD4000 for me. I prefer the smaller lugs and thicker case and crystal. If you can keep both do so. They are two very different watches. Many will say they are too much alike but I'm sure you know they are very different on the wrist. Plus, an SD is still an SD 😉

I own both - I just got the 114060 today - I think you can have them both in the same collection - I'm a guy who loves Subs - I also have a SubC Date. They are all great and can all coexist - you will love them all.

Price favors the 114060.

Honestly a great combo would be a Hulk and a SD4000

or a GMT2C and a SD4000

Sub no date is nice too but it doesn't seem like you are feeling it anymore....they hold their value well....sell it and get what you really like!

I think the SubC and SD4000 wear differently enough that you can definitely have both. To me, the SubC is just perfect and disappears on my wrist weight-wise. The SD4000 isn't as ridiculous as the DSSR, but has enough extra bulk, weight, and subtle differences (raised crystal) to remind you it is there in the the most pleasurable way.

I think it more comes down to: deep down, you want the date complication, but you don't want the cyclops.

Are you a mind reader? You just nail it, my main concern, is having a date worth the extra $?

As someone who has traded in a 114060 for a new SD, I think that's not the only question to ask yourself. Yes, the date feature is there, but there's also a difference in design and look on wrist that is often not noticed until you've had wrist time with each one. In photos there's not a lot of difference between the two (SD-C and Sub-C), but once you've worn them both for a while, you (or at least I did) notice that the SD-C seems as if it's case and bracelet were designed as whole, with the way the lugs help to make the case flow much more smoothly into the bracelet. Whereas the sub-c's maxi case and its wider look seems (to me) as if it's flow into the bracelet was a design afterthought. The SD-c seems to give a more refined and "classic" look that I like much more than that of the maxi cased Subs. At least that's my opinion of it.

So in my eyes, the price difference was worth it and then some.

Since you had both, can i ask what is lug to lug distance of SDc? I know that Sub C is 47 mm, so is SDc smaller? Thank you

Just a quick measurement with a set of calipers shows 46.4mm for the SD-C.

[Nycturbovr6]

I really like subc. I haven't seen the sdc in person yet

[Karbo]

Im asking myself the same question and have no answer atm.
Maybe the good answer is removing the cylop of a SubC date by adding a new saphire.
But i just dont know if its possible and who can do it ?!!

[Ichaice]

I've got the 114060 and the older 16600. I would love to try the SD 4000 but that would mean selling one of those plus another watch which I'm struggling to reconcile.

[mechanicaltime]

SubC 114060 is fine with me.

[ap1]

I flipped no date for sdc. It really is amazing. Less common, date, thick but not ridiculous, you want me to go on?
