114060 or 116600

[simongpaez]

I love my 114060 but the new SD looks amazing, I can't have both so what would you do?

[sleddog]

The heart wants what it wants!!

To be serious, both are great.... Do what you think is best for the wallet, and the soul! Good luck!

SDC for me.

[slm9555]

Sub for sure, sd isn't worth the money imo

[Wesley Crusher]

I prefer the 114060.

Sub

[Robb]

SD-c for me

[brettpaul]

Don't have the SDc yet, but do love my 114060.... for me it's the right balance of classic simplicity and modern technology

Totally agree

[viper9669]

Both have similarities, and differences, I'd vote 114060 but need to make a trip to the retailer to look at the 116600 once its in, hopefully soon.

[Jack T]

The Sub is just such a solid piece. On this site, you'll find the choice debatable. In the real world, real people, even those who appreciate nice watches, will give you a blank stare and ask "huh?"

[The Sub-lime One]

Sub... No questions!

I would keep the 114060, but I'm not drawn to the 116600. If you are, you should make the switch!

[Robbyman]

SDc - those Sub lugs are awful. Believe me, I have one!

[The Libertine]

Submariner.

For me they are very similar, the main difference is greyish matte dial or black glossy dial, the latter I prefer to match the bezel on the ceramics.

[superdog]

Without question: 114060

They are different. Sure.

But they are so very similar. No sense paying all that money for such a similar watch.

And personally, I much prefer the sub. No contest.

..sell the sub

I prefer the 114060 as it is my go to watch. I have not seen the SDC in the flesh but can see the appeal. I would wait a short time to see if the feeling of wanting the new watch stays with you. The flip would be costly to go to the SDC and by waiting the excitement for the new watch may calm down and you could save a few dollars.

[simongpaez]

Thanks for the comments I do love my Sub and there is no way I could let it go.

[travisb]

Tough call. I'm yet to see the 116600, but it's hard to not want a 114060 in your collection.

[subtona]

If the case shapes were the same, it would be a toss up.

But comparing the two, the SDC lugs and crown guards are a necessity for me.

[locutus49]

Sub. But I'm biased.

[lmcgbaj]

Sub for sure. This is after trying the 116600.

Now you just need to stick to your decision!

SDC by a country mile. They are not similar in my view.

Differences that immediately spring to mind.

1. Fully graduated bezel
2. Helium Escape Valve
3. Matte/Satin dial
4. Date
5. Raised crystal
6. Divers Extension
7. Significant additional depth rating
8. Deeper case
9. Slimmer and shorter lugs, changing the shape significantly
10. Less square crown guards
11. Much less common (never seen another SD in the wild (old or new)

It's perfectly ok to prefer the Sub, but to say they are really similar is just not true.

[duran]

Cant imagine getting more gratification wearing the 116600 over my 114060.. 116600 seems like a great piece but for my income bracket not 3k worth of a difference to justify owning both.

[rustyduck]

The sub c is perfect for most of us. the benefits of the SDC are apparent when you dive as a pro. other than that, there is no point to the differences other than appearances. I am not a professional diver. My friends that are dive instructors usually wear a different watch diving and we all rely upon our dive computers for rec diving. the size of the case and the weight of the SDC may or may not be desirable to someone. check them out on your wrist and then see what you like to look at best.
