Confused

[lmlinfante]

I am now in the market to purchase a new Rolex, I am also very confused. I am a sport watch guy and very active, not sure which model would be best for me. I have been searching the Submariner, Sea Dweller and best of all the Deep Sea Sea Dweller, not sure if I totally like the wording around the face on the Deep Sea espically for the price. I also like big watches, any suggestions.

Check out the Explorer II. It's a little bigger than most Rolex sport watches at 42mm, and comes in a polar and black face.

Never even gave this a thought, i am going to take a look.

SD4K would be my choice. I like the DSSD too but I think I'd eventually get tired of the size, and smashing it into every door frame, chair and countertop I walk by. SD is far more unique than the Sub... but if you like the larger lugs of the Sub I'd suggest the no date Sub, unless of course you rely on your watch for the date.

Owning both the SubC, as well as the SDC4K I can tell you the SubC has a bigger footprint on the wrist. SDC4k wears smaller as it has tapered lugs.

So, if you like the Big Watch look and feel, go w/ the Sub Date 116610. As for me, I feel the 116600 Sea Dweller is perhaps the best looking and wearing sports watch they make!

All you have been researching, are excellent choices!!:)

All the ones you named are great watches, and built like tanks. Any one of those pieces will keep up with you - your body will probably give out before they do. I'm a huge fan of the SD's, so it'll be SD, Sub, DSSD for me in that order.

Have you considered the Tudor Black Bays?

Go for the Deepsea, you won't notice the writing.

Yup I was a bit worried at first too but didn't much notice the ring lock text after a while.

the very very very best thing you cn do is go to an AD and try on ALL of them. They each fit and feel different. I bet after doing this, one sings more than the other two - that's your watch!

These are all great options. I went with the Sea Dweller over the Sub-C and DSSD. The DSSD is too large for my wrist, and I preferred the more tapered lugs and matte dial of the Sea Dweller over the Sub-C.

FWIW, I don't think you would notice the 'Original Gas Escape Value, Ring Lock System' on the DSSD dial over time. If you like the 44mm and thick(!) case size it's a great option.

Try em all on! I would go with Sub or SeaDweller. The DSSD is enormous. I have decently large wrists, but that watch still looks big on me.

[lmlinfante]

Thanks for the info, i think i will try all on and then decide.

[kangajack]

Easy choice...

Try on several back to back...that's the best way. As for the wording on the DS, it's not nearly as prominent as those big blown up photos on the web suggest.

Big watches..I think lends itself to the DS and the EXP2...both great choices.

The reality is that the writing is not even noticeable when looking at the watch in real life.
The pics one sees accentuate the writing out of all proportion.
It's not an issue
