Trying to make a decision on which one. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

casadecamporolex · 12 May 2010, 06:11 AM

Love the green!

David Woo · 12 May 2010, 06:13 AM

they are two different watches, with pros and cons for each: get whichever is best for you.

Or both.

Lion · 12 May 2010, 06:14 AM

Tough decision as both are very nice to own and have.....good luck in trying to figure out which one!!!

nauticajoe · 12 May 2010, 06:14 AM

I'd go with the SD. It's a classic. There are several variations of the Sub, but only 1 SD.

Good luck!

SR3TG · 12 May 2010, 06:22 AM

Thanks for the input.

David, what are the pros and cons?

nauticajoe, which one did Rolex make more of, do you know?

Jason71 · 12 May 2010, 06:24 AM

A really tough choice......I love 'em both

jameshe · 12 May 2010, 06:31 AM

Apologies if this is misjudged, but it sounds like a question of 'which one is going to be rarer/more sought after in the future' affecting your decision.. (as these two are recently discontinued)

I did this with my SD, and whilst I love the look, I want something a bit more exciting. I am close to the TT GMTiic currently.

Just my 2c, no offence intended in my accusation

MURRAY · 12 May 2010, 06:31 AM

Boy...maybe it's because I am a true blue (and maize) Michigan Wolverine, but I just can't get by the green.....go for the Sea Dweller!!!

nauticajoe · 12 May 2010, 06:58 AM

Production-wise, I would say the SD has more since they've been out since the 70's. Keep in mind the LV has only been around since '03. This model marks the 50th anniversary of the Sub.

mike · 12 May 2010, 07:16 AM

No wrong answer. If only one I tend to favor the maxi dial and add a black insert for versatility.

Art 1 · 12 May 2010, 07:18 AM

I like the looks of the LV Sub much more than the SD.

JUSTROLEXES · 12 May 2010, 07:19 AM

You can not go wrong with either...
I like the LV myself but both are worth the $$$

chris russell · 12 May 2010, 07:31 AM

Give me the SD any day, and twice on Sunday. There can be only one!

hooliganhooker · 12 May 2010, 07:42 AM

My decision process went like this...
- Must have iconic Rolex...
- Submariner
- HATE the cyclops...
- Like the date...
(Did I say hate the cyclops?)
- Sea Dweller!!!

Most people won't know the difference and if they ask, tell 'em "it's the new Submariner 2.0 that I'm beta testing."

Happy hunting!

sea-dweller · 12 May 2010, 08:06 AM

SD -

Bullyterrier · 12 May 2010, 08:39 AM

Tough call. I tried on both a few times over a couple of years and ended up getting the LV. Both are great watches, but I felt the LV looked and felt better on me.

nauticajoe · 12 May 2010, 08:40 AM

Just to reiterate, here's my vote. Damn that date stamp

JMIND · 12 May 2010, 09:17 AM

Sd!

Atomant · 12 May 2010, 09:29 AM

They're both great watches it's hard to make a choice I'd pick the SD?

jimmy1982 · 12 May 2010, 09:33 AM

Dssd

landroverking · 12 May 2010, 09:39 AM

Subs are every where. Go with the Sea Dweller.

sakuraba · 12 May 2010, 09:49 AM

BOTH!!!

Watch Fan · 12 May 2010, 09:53 AM

Tough call, personal choise really. Try them both on and you will know which one you like the most. No one can really tell you which one to buy.

Perdu · 12 May 2010, 10:21 AM

The LV is the looker of the two.

andrew79 · 12 May 2010, 10:28 AM

I choose the LV, but if it is all brand new and the price is the same, I may actually be tempted to buy the SD.

superb · 12 May 2010, 11:33 AM

SD first and then a LV. That's what i did.

niner niner seven · 12 May 2010, 11:56 AM

LV sub all the way, one of the shortest production runs

beauty! I have both and I have to say I tend to wear my SD more....

TurboWatch · 12 May 2010, 01:55 PM

Love the maxi dial of the LV. Love the size and feel of the SD.
But if I could have ONLY ONE, I'd pick the SD. Unless it's an 2003 early F or Y sub LV ( some called it the real anniversary sub )
