Which Sea Dweller ...

[superstarmar]

Has become the most special since the new release ?

SD43-50Th , SD4K C 116600 , SD4K 5 digit 16600 or
possibly and older Sea Dweller ?

How do you see it ? I know everyone has an opinion, lol.

Mine is my SD4K C , I almost sold it and came to my senses.

4k

My all time fav is triple 6.

[Brian Page]

SD43 currently as that's the one I own...

[lenfried29]

I like sea-dweller without the cyclops on the crystal. The one on the OP picture. Looks smaller on your wrist thouth

Of all the “Sea-Dwellers”, my favorite is the D-Blue.

From your list, I’d pick the SD43.
The 3135 and 3235 movements weren’t desgined to be used without a cyclops.

A movement not designed to be used without a cyclops? As a cyclops is just a magnifier what bearing does it have on the movement of a watch?

I think he is referring to the date wheel which is set inward towards the center of the dial which would indicate it was designed for use with a cyclops.

Ideally, everything on a watch is designed to work together.

The date display on the DSSD, SD40 ceramic and 5 digit is a bit small by itself, but paired with a cyclops, as on the Sub, is OK.

Tudor models with dates have a decent size display with numbers large enough to be easily seen without a cyclops. Also, the date window on many Tudors are placed more appropriately, further out on the dial.

On my D-Blue, the date window is too close to the center and the numbers are small. Same movement is in my Sub and with the cyclops, the date is fine. The entire watch, including the movement, was designed for a cyclops. If Rolex had made a specific movement for the DSSD, the calendar wheel would likely be larger, with a window placed closer to the edge of the dial, with larger numbers.

Ya, I see what yo are saying now. Personally I like the no cyclops look and can read the date fairly easily on my SD4K.

That is the most stunning dial in the Rolex catalogue IMO

Exactly this!!

[jarecki]

D-blue 126660 all the way. Nothing else compares...

Sd4k. 5 digit asthetics with 6 digit functionality + a limited run

Agree 100%.

Had an SD43, sold it after a week or so. Got myself one of the greatest watches ever made. SD4K.

Dblue baby!

[Halothane]

My vote SD4K - C or older 5 digit models

SD4K.

Simple. Elegant. Properly sized and just a few years production so it will be somewhat rare.

[JohnnyMack]

Had the 4k and 43 on my wrist and owned the DSSD Black and D-Blue.

Only have the D-Blue as it is my favorite of all of them,

I really wanted to like the D-Blue but when I tried it at my
AD it was too big and hefty on my wrist for my taste .

[sensui]

Whatever rocks your boat I guess...many choices including vintage. My choices (I voted with my wallet) are the 116600, 16660 matte dial, and the 1665 mk1. To me these signify important "eras" in the SD evolution.

[Mfrankel2]

Current love is SD43. Size and proportions are (IMHO) perfect. However, the dial on the dblue is something special. I've always found the 5 digit references to be too close to a sub (albeit without the cyclops) and never liked the "protruding" glass on the 4000 but, I expect I'm treading on some thin ice here as those characteristics may be exactly what some here love

[jay_kay]

Of the 16600, 116600, 116660 & 126600 my winner is the 126600 (SD42) . it would be a difficult one with the 1665 included too.

[arizonapaul]

For me, hands down, the SD4K 116600. I own the D-Blue, the SD43, and the SD4k,and its very special when I wear the 4k now, so much in fact it hardly get any wrist time as I want to keep it in perfect condition. Sounds crazy, but long or short term, I will probably sell to fun some of my fist PM watch.
On a side note, I probably wear the SD43 more thank all my other watches combined..

Maybe you should keep the SD4K C Paul...

[Old Geezer]

I tried to like previous Seadwellers but just couldn’t warm up to them. I acquired a SD43 and love it. The bracelet which I think is perefectly proportioned and the cyclops won me over. I don’t know why but for me the cyclops on a diver or DJ is Rolex and I have to have them.

[brandrea]

I owned a 5 digit Seadweller and more recently the Dblue and the SD43.

Although the Dblue dial is absolutely a stunner, I could never quite get past its case height.

All that remains is this one now. I think Rolex nailed it with this one

Give me a 1665 Rail and a Matte 16660 and I’m good.
