You're a Sub man, Flavio. I am a sub man too, I have looked hard at a lot of other Rolexes but will probably end up with 2 or even 3 subs myself.

Flavio, I wasn't saying to get the smurf. I am saying to get some color and variety sell one of your existing Subs and getting both the LVC And SDC. I also tend to think that the all green Sub would get tiring as an only watch but not when you can rotate it with that new SDc.

They go really nicely together, but if there could be only one, and especially with two other black divers, I would go LVc. All the goodness of the Submariner with the extra special twist of the chameleon dial.

But, ultimately, I wouldn't want to hesitate like this between two awesome choices. I think it would just take a breathe and relax and wait until one becomes a "must have" for me.

I guess you're right, Neil. If I had means to own many models I would, but that's not my case and when Im about to choose a new watch I can only see Subs in front of me. The SD-C came to mess with my mind a bit.

sea-dweller · 24 May 2014, 07:46 AM

I'd get the LV-C.

Thanks George. I got what you meant. Problem is that I saw a Smurf picture and I couldnt think of anything else anymore :) I cant sell any of my Subs, buddy. That would never make me happy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Exactly. And I have to say your LV-C pics are a very strong argument my friend. Love them. Thanks.

Thanks buddy. So far 29 votes for the LV-C and 30 for SD-C. This is a really difficult choice between two great watches.

locutus49 · 24 May 2014, 08:36 AM

The Hulk. Green is not my favorite color, but I never get tired of the Green, and it is not too much. My only other choice would be a TT blue Sub or WG Blue Sub (expensive).

Basically, the Sub is my favorite Rolex by far AND I personally like a watch with some color, to stand out from the sea of black Subs.

if you already own a watch with the glidelock bracelet why not pop it off and put it on white dial Daytona?

I cant do that. And a new clasp would cost me 2k so...

The Sub-C is the first watch I have with 100% perfect fit. Im sure I will have less than that with the easy link clasp because I had watches with similar clasps before and they were never centered. My 6.5- flat wrists are a pain to please, specially cause I wear just a bit loose and I demand perfection from the bracelet.

that's why I was suggesting buying white dial Daytona and putting your sub c bracelet on it....

I only have two glidelock clasps -the ones on my Subs- and none of my Subs would be ok with a different clasp if I use for a Daytona. But thanks for sharing your thoughts.

no problem, since it's a quick 2 min swap figured it might be worth it.....of the 2 you mentioned I'd say SDC since the LVC is same as what you have just different color

I would get rid of both of the black SubC and get an LVc and an SDc

subtona · 24 May 2014, 09:50 AM

SDc. That bezel is hot!

SDc. LVc is nice too, but I won't wear it as a daily watch.

Hahah. In that case go for the SDc

anothernewphone · 24 May 2014, 10:05 AM

The ceramic LV is my choice. I don't think having a Sea-Dweller in your collection will give you much satisfaction, or at least it wouldn't do it for me. What's the point of three black-dialed watches?

The dial was gorgeous in the sun, but I found it silly to keep an expensive watch because of how the dial looks when it is in the sun. Maybe if I had a ton of watches, but at this point in my life, I'm a two watch guy.

Thanks for sharing!
What two watches do you have?

I'm wondering if that will happen to me if I go with a LVC...

A chance of the SD-C becoming my favorite. Very remote chance but still there. I worry about that and like to have that opportunity with a new watch, and Im almost sure the LV-C wont win my black Subs... Thanks Bill.

MortgageGuy · 24 May 2014, 10:49 AM

I also own both and that is a very tough call. For me and my history with anything Rolex and Sea Dweller on the dial this would be my choice but both great pieces.

As for 9.5k on the SDC, I think you will be waiting quite a bit and buying pre owned. I reference this to the price on the 116710 BLNR still selling for almost retail on the forums and not even 10% off MSRP pre-owned... Just my 2 cents

I guess you're right. Never thought the LV-C would become a bargain..

Since the majority of watches especially Rolex divers do have a black face there are tons of folks that have a dozen black dialed watches in their collection.

Personally I see no issue at all with adding the SDC as all 3 in your collection are substantially different and worth having for me
