If you go to Chipotle at lunch time, you will see a line of hands wearing Subs sticking out to pick up their salads. Same goes for the startbucks in the morning.

One of the reasons to own a Rolex, other than its built quality and investment value, is the feeling of exclusivity. A Sub just doesn't do that for me in my environment.

But that is just me.
Valid point. I would feel the same but personally I dont roll in the same circles. So whenever people say "everyone has a sub" that just isnt my experience.

Having said that at a distance the SD looks similar to the Sub. If I wanted to distinguish myself I would opt for full YG Blue Sub.

True, but a non WIS will never see the difference (and I bought a SD4K for this reason too (among other reasons) )

a really tough choice, but I think SD is the way. $2500 difference can be taken as investment, and I think SD for now has a better resell value if that interests you

I have been eyeing the SD4000 too. If I really wanted one.. I would flip my SubC ND and top up for one. Makes no sense for me to have two similar divers in my small collection

sent using a flying carpet

I have owned a 116600 next to my 114060 but after 7 months I ended up trading the Sea-Dweller for a Daytona because the looks of both watches was too similar for my taste and I didn't want to sell my first Rolex (the 114060).
