Sorry to be so gushing but I think the SD is just great.

1 week ago I picked up my 1st steel Daytona and it is a truly fantastic watch. I also own a vintage 5513 which I hope I never have to sell as it is an iconic piece of Rolex history which gives me a thrill every time I put it on.

After wearing the Daytona for the last week I switched to my 2007 SD today and I have to say that it is possibly my favourite out of all of them. It just looks so cool and reliable and feels right on the wrist.

I feel very lucky to have such a limited but exclusive collection and I really think that I now have a watch for all occasions. I just think the SD will be on my wrist most of the time.

That is a fantastic collection.

Especially being anchored by the SD.

Congrats on great collection. It's tough to beat the SD.

So what's your favourite?

Well done on getting the SD, it's my first and only Rolex that I own. Well impressed with it so far

bgriz · 24 February 2008, 04:19 AM

I like the 5513 since I was also born in 1967

Come on Phil. Get it out!

Letsgodiving · 24 February 2008, 04:20 AM

Well, I'm also a '67 model so that would be a tough choice.

Nice!

You are right, I keep going back to the SD after putting on the GMT IIc or Sub Date for a few seconds. The SD has been my daily wearer after 40 days of ownership. I don't think I'll ever part with it. The GMT may get some wrist time when I travel, that's it.

Thanks mate, I'm still getting that smile inside whenever I look at my wrist and I'm wearing the SD

DoxaDavid · 24 February 2008, 04:54 AM

The SD is a great watch. One of the best "tool" watches in the world.

For me, that Zenith SS Daytona is smoking. That would be the one I would wear but the best part is you get to switch between them all. Lucky man and great collection! Wear them all well.

SPACE-DWELLER · 24 February 2008, 05:13 AM

The SD is truely a great watch, and I look forward to getting an SD again. If I were to choose between the SS Daytona and the SD, I'd also pick the SD anytime.

JimSnyder · 24 February 2008, 05:57 AM

but my heart is set on the Non Date Sub. I'm 7 years older and I would have to use glasses to read the date anyway;Jim

Gurmot · 24 February 2008, 06:04 AM

I love the non-date subs. Both the 5513 and 14060 are beautiful watches. However, why not go for a SD anyway? If your eyes can't make out the date without the cyclops, just pretend it's a non-date version!!!

I know what you mean. I sometimes struggle with the SD date but what the heck. I just love the watch, with or without the date.

Cheers - Simon
