Icon20 Need some advice, please

Hi all,

TRF newbie here looking for some advice. I recently sold my Explorer II so I'm looking for my next Rolex. I am considering the sea-dweller and the subC. I am drawn to the sd b/c of the more classic design and I like the date w/o the cyclops. I also like the new subC for the improvements esp. the bracelet. I've never tried on the sd so can members comment on the thickness and weight of the sd compared to the subC? Pics of the two together would be really helpful. Also any general comments on either one would be welcome. Thanks for the help!v

SUB-C end of story ha, the sea-sweller is thicker than the sub C

Tough one! But you really can't go wrong with a Sub.

I would suggest trying both on. They are both quite nice and you can't go wrong with either IMHO.

Yea, that would be best but I don't know anyone with a sd and none of my ADs have them. If anyone has pics of the two side by side, that would be very helpful.
