i have a DSSD and thinking of getting the SD 16600 to make it 2 SDs. is it a wise decision to have the same model in one's collection?
Or just go for the current Submariner and not to wait for the new model?

Texasjim · 6 May 2010, 02:40 AM

What the heck, why not? Wearing a 16600 as I write this, and waiting on my DSSD to arrive tomorrow AM. I also have a 14060, and on the prowl for a 16610. Why not collect the different models from the diving line? Heck, I sold my PAM's to finance this endeavor.

Cheers,

Jim

Not at all!!! They're 2 totally different machines with completely different attitudes!!

mike · 6 May 2010, 02:42 AM

I'm not sure they're that close together. I think there's more than enough difference between the two to justify (if you have too

) both in a collection.

Heck I can justify different fonts on the same reference.

That made my day, thanks.....Looks like I still have a long way to go before being totally consumed by this WIS thing!

Puffy · 6 May 2010, 05:11 AM

Absolutely nothing wrong collecting within the same model range! I'm putting an order in for a 16713 and I already have a 16710, just need the same model in a different look...

joeychitwood · 6 May 2010, 05:14 AM

I have a black TT Sub, a blue TT Sub and a Sea Dweller. As far as my spouse is concerned, I've bought three of the same watch. I on the other hand, love the differences and wouldn't be surprised if someday I add a SS Sub to the family. You are the only one who has to be satisfied.

motoface · 6 May 2010, 05:45 AM

I have a 16600 V and will be getting a DSSD. I think they are very different but maintain the great look of the Seadweller

gmaines · 6 May 2010, 08:21 AM

I have 2 subs, and a Deep sea, I will be getting a SD soon....to me they are very different...

Roselló · 6 May 2010, 08:32 AM

Go for it.

joeychitwood · 6 May 2010, 08:36 AM

The Sea Dweller is a true classic, and it no longer being produced. Buy one now for posterity.

jschmidtdmd · 6 May 2010, 10:05 AM

I now have both, and will be keeping both in my collection.

rolexsubdate · 6 May 2010, 01:42 PM

What I have learned is that there are certain types ... some people like varieties of Rolex models .... others, like me, like one type only ....so collect the model you like ....I love subs and sds and I think if I spend $$ on any other model, then it is a waste .. no matter what that watch is ... call me mental or retarded ... So the lesson is that screw everyone's opinion .... collect what you want ... it is your money ... if I had the $$, I would buy 100 subs and 300 SDs ...

Dr. Robert · 6 May 2010, 01:44 PM

I remember seeing a sale here on TRF....all the SS Rolex dive watches, a "package deal"....nd sub, d sub, sd sub, lv sub & dssd sub....the perfect set!

andrew79 · 6 May 2010, 01:46 PM

the bug is contagious.... watch out guys... :)

Jason71 · 6 May 2010, 02:03 PM

That is just nuts to own 2 SDs

inspires · 6 May 2010, 02:59 PM

I think it would be a fantastic addition.

I hope to add a 1665 to compliment my 16600 one day.

RIGHT ON!!!
Because if you are not happy with it.....you'll wind up flipping it down the road.
I hate to think about the money I've lost flipping.....

Singslinger · 6 May 2010, 06:13 PM

I own an SD and a Deepsea. I see them as completely different watches, so my philosophy is by all means, if the watch sings to you - go for it!

The GMT Kid · 6 May 2010, 06:59 PM

Very different watches. Go for it.

that's what my girlfriend says. She can't distinguish between any of them. She can only recognise the Super Jubilee as it's "the Seiko watch".

No kidding. Until October 2009, the thought of owning more than one Rolex had NEVER entered my mind. I'd been completely happy for 18 years with my black TT Submariner. Since then, I've purchased a Sea Dweller, a Datejust and another TT Sub. I informed my spouse that the Daytona is next on the list. I wonder if there are meds one can take to control this compulsion?

Jarichonas · 7 May 2010, 01:24 AM

Nice watches. go for it, go

CompactRod · 7 May 2010, 02:41 AM

thanks to all the bros here.
Is USD 4.85K too high for a sd V series 1yr watch complete set?
did not consider a brand new s/s submariner at USD 5.4k because of the new model.
Both are so nice and tough choice, wish I had the $$$$ no headache

timetravel125 · 7 May 2010, 02:47 AM

2 SD's are better than one!

As long as you are happy..Go for it.

PeterT · 7 May 2010, 06:05 AM

I have a SD and a DSSD. I like the fact that they have similarities that link them together but also many style differences.
