I've tossed around the idea in the past of flipping my SS Daytona 116520 as I no longer have the same love for it. I decided to keep in hopes of one day passing it down to my son. In the mean time I have sized it for my wife and she has been wearing it on weekends usually. She likes the watch but could care less about what brand is on her wrist.

I purchased my first Submariner 16610 this year and have really grown to love the diving models. I have yet to acquire a ceramic model in my line up and think it might be time. If I was to flip the Daytona for either the 116600 or the 114060, which should it be? I figure a trade for Sea Dweller 4000 would be pretty close in value especially if a wait until more flood the market. Or do I go with the 114060 and put cash in my pocket. Aesthetically they are very similar, is the Sea Dweller worth the extra money? DSSD is out of the question as my wrist is too small.

Dont worry about my son, I've decided to put my 16710 Pepsi in the vault for him, esp now that they will no longer be made in SS. And the wife can wear my Explorer when she wants.

SDc gets my vote.

FTX I · 14 August 2014, 03:31 AM

Nothing beats the Sub-C.

AK797 · 14 August 2014, 03:43 AM

SubC and money in your pocket towards your next Rolex would be my choice.

T01 · 14 August 2014, 03:45 AM

Subc

WAK4 · 14 August 2014, 03:49 AM

Sounds like you have the argument in place for the Daytona to go...flip it for the SDC in my opinion. But that is me. Either option for the new watch is a good one.

PTruong · 14 August 2014, 03:52 AM

Subc 114060

Ed Man · 14 August 2014, 03:54 AM

Money in the pocket is always good and the 114060 is a great watch no matter how you slice it!!!

bardm · 14 August 2014, 04:00 AM

I would like to give you my opinion, but I can´t be bothered with looking up the reference numbers.

irish john · 14 August 2014, 04:01 AM

If it was me i would keep the daytona and save for the Sub C. ,,, its an awesome watch

Sounds like me on the Patek forum! Photos really do help when asking this-or-that questions. However, Rolex and PAM are two watch brands that are frequently known by their reference numbers.
The Sea Dweller

The Submariner

FTX I · 14 August 2014, 04:26 AM

IMHO 114060 is equivalent to 911 and if you are in a Rolex forum or a Porsche forum one should know basic stuff and not ask for others to do your homework.

Time Collector · 14 August 2014, 04:33 AM

Sub-C

landroverking · 14 August 2014, 05:18 AM

Sea Dweller. Subs are everywhere.

Sub police is making an arrest!

antbkny · 14 August 2014, 05:32 AM

116610 or sd, which ever fits you better

I will keep the daytona. I m interested to buy yours :)

regnant · 14 August 2014, 05:42 AM

You should pick SEA DWELLER 4000 :)

Brandon(phila) · 14 August 2014, 05:52 AM

You have a Sub.....go for the SD.
I am always need a date function

+1. I'm more of an SD fan than Daytona.

Yup - Sub is really nice but can be seen all over the place.

Eric Chan · 14 August 2014, 08:14 AM

Submariner 114060. Not sure if I would trade the Daytona for it, but would probably trade the submariner Date 16610 for it. My own pinion of course. Good luck.

Rolexpharm · 14 August 2014, 08:32 AM

SD4000 gets my vote because I think it is the better dive watch because of the divers extension and glide lock clasp

leicashot · 14 August 2014, 11:25 AM

I had the same dilemma and then decided on the new SD4000 as I love the fully graduated bezel, which makes the watch more symmetrical, as the date window easily replaces the 3 marker better than seeing only a 15min grad on the Sub-C ND bezel....though many Sub owners would disagree I'm sure.

CDNWatchNut · 14 August 2014, 11:36 AM

I'd go for the SubC, it's simpler and cleaner looking.

MrJ320 · 14 August 2014, 11:54 AM

Absolutely love the SD-C, that would be my choice.

Steel28 · 14 August 2014, 11:59 AM

If you don't want to keep Daytona go for SDc. But you will miss the racing legend.

14060m · 14 August 2014, 12:10 PM

Even though I love and own a sub date
I would do the SDC4000

leicashot · 14 August 2014, 02:41 PM

Another thing to note is that legibility on the new SD is greater than any other Sport Rolex. Also because of new dial and flat raised glass, the white gold markers catch more light and stand out more, looking a little more 3D. To me, that was a welcome surprise when I switched the LV for the SD.
