Need your opinion... again :-)
Hi guys,
Would you trade your SD for Sub C ? I know that both are different and very good watch. Which one do you prefer and why? Here is my one |

I don't have a SD (I want one of course) however if I had one, there's no way I'd flip it for a Sub-C. I don't like the fat lug cases and ceramic bezels.

I don't think I would do it, and I am a Sub C owner.
Reason being, it is definitely unique and you do not see them that often. Also I assume the trade would involve adding cash out of your pocket. If you were buying new, then I would say might as well go for the newest model. As for the trade, I would just keep my SD as it is a fantastic classic watch. |

I agree, I have a DSSD and if I were ot get another Rolex I would like to get the Hulk, or I like the GMT IIC, even though it looks like a Sub I love the didgits on the bezel.

I did because I thought it was a good move, but take it from me, don't do it!
The SD is a true classic and much more balanced and attractive. |

I'm going to go against the grain and say yes. The Sub-C is a newer model that will have warranty and the glidelock is an amazing feature. Yes you can add glidelock to a SD but IMO it wouldn't feel right.

Keep that Sea Dweller! It's a classic. If you want the sub c, then get it as an addition to your collection.
