What would you trade your Sea-Dweller for?

A Daytona? Sub/GMT-C? DSSD?

Or, trick question: keep for long haul?

Just curious. I don't think I could part with mine... Maybe for a DSSD.

My SD is the 6th Rolex I now own. Wanted it for a while. Some of the others would leave first. LOVE the SD!

2nd Rolex was the SD. No reason for it to go I wear it more than the 4 other R and Panerai.

Regards.

The sea dweller will be more sought after very rapidly.

I'd trade for a Leopard Daytona, sell the Leopard Daytona, take the cash and buy more Seadwellers!

Got mine yesterday after having 3 subs, its FANTASTIC, don't think I will be letting this go for a while. The difference between this and a normal sub can not be appreciated from just a foto.

Sure seems like a very loved model.... I don't think I see as much passion behind any other model like I see for the Sea-Dweller. Well, maybe Daytona owners as well, but sure seems like people go nuts for the SD.

I'd sell it and get a 14060m COSC.It does everything that the SD does in real life, has a slightly more reliable (robust) movement and has 2 less points in the case where WR can be compromised...

It also wears lighter and slimmer on the wrist!I had other sport Rolex but the 14060m is my favourite...

14060 is a CLASSIC piece!! However, don't agree with you about letting a SD go for one. 14060 = AWESOME, but not SD awesome.

Just done the opposite and couldn't be happier. The 14060 is great, but the SD is just so much more.
