I'm really surprised how close this is considering the Sub is so popular. Those damn SD Zealots!

Taurus75 · 16 February 2008, 06:46 PM

I went with the SD simply because there are just too many people with SS SubDates out there. Morever, with the SS SubDate at full MRSP from where I come from, the SD with the option of discounts is definitely a better buy.. Juz my 2 cents

I'd tend to agree, but IMHO the SS GMT IIc simply does not have the STYLE that the SD has. I am still VERY close to selling my SS GMT IIc and going back to the CLEAN and understated SD.

Go for the 16600.

Bo, you and I have parallel thinking. My SD is sorely missed. Sometimes it's love/hate with the GMTIIC and I'm getting more and more tempted to go back the SD.

Well, some, including my friends and family, think it would be a "down-grade" to go from an SS GMT IIc to an SD (once again). But I don't care! My friends don't know much about watches, and I have a hunch that they only focus on what watch is more expensive and most blingy.

I miss my SD. Period!

Bo:

Agreed. For some odd reason the GMTIIC doesn't feel as special as the SD. Hard to put into words, but you obviously know what I'm talking about.

Maybe we could make a simultaneous flip, Steven?? Would make it easier for me!

Bungie flipping!

At the count of 3!

1.......2......

I would like to see a Ceramic Sub but without the brushed center links!!!!

No I did not. This was taken from a thread a few months ago about ceramic subs and BaselWorld predictions, etc. I do not know who did it. There is also a ceramic Submariner No date with red lettering floating around and also a ceramic pepsi GMT.. all look very nice

Mike you make a good point even in jest, I guess I am a damn SD Zealot. Sorry I guess I have been fairly close minded when it comes to the SD. I will try to do better in the future. I own a LV Sub I love it too.

jmjm · 20 February 2008, 03:11 PM

If I was a diver, or even knew how to swim in deep waters, I would consider the SD, but a Sub is plenty waterproof for me.

tandrup · 20 February 2008, 04:35 PM

Sub Date for me
