which would you buy... SD vs Exp II 42
I have the opportunity to buy a BNIB 16600 from a AD. Would you buy this classic or go for a Exp II/Millgauss/Sub C basically any new model at around the $6250 mark. I probably won't wear any of them as I love my DSSD too much. BUT they would be nice to have, so really my question is which do you think is the most collectible?

None will be rare or collectable. I saw a BNIB SD a few months ago. The SD has been discontinued for several years and there are tons for sale. If you aren't wearing it don't buy it. Be careful what you say. I wore a DSSD Daily for 3 years got my SubC and have worn the DSSD 7-8x since August (though I wore it today). I had the chance at a SD and picked the SubC.
If you could get a SubC or ExpII 42 at $6250 you won't lose anything. I've never seen either at even close to that price though. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. |

Exp II or Milgauss for something different. You already have DSSD. I don't see how you would want to switch to between that and a SD. Gunter is right...SD is not a rare thing...

A BNIB SD would be my choice......not to many of those left new!!
The EXPII could Be acquired at anytime easily enough. That is only my opinion of course!

The SD was my grail Rolex but it lost out to my Planet Ocean Liquidmetal LE.
Since you have the DS, I would go with the 216570. I'm loving mine. Fr. John† |

Exp II (42mm) would be a great stablemate for your DSSD

I would find it hard to pass up a BNIB 16600.

I would definately go for the Sea Dweller. New in box is pretty rare anymore for a Sea Dweller. The others will be around and you could buy them anytime.If you are wondering if you would wear the Sea Dweller because you already have a Deep Sea, I can tell you that I also have both and wear both. They are different enough that I enjoy them both.
