Flip SubC LN date for SDC 4000?

[41sub]

I currently own a SubC LN and Hulk. Was considering flipping the black sub for SDC 4000. I have smaller a wrist and like the more tapered lugs of the SDC 4000. Thoughts?? Is it really worth the $1,800-$2,000 extra for the flip?

[Thatguy]

I am in the same situation. I wish the SDC was available back when I bought my sub but the additional cost is not worth it for me to flip.

I made that move. Love the SD. It's a little thicker with more narrow lugs. I also love the raised crystal.

[adawil2002]

If it fits you better and you like it go for it.

[eltonbalch]

I like the SD 4000 much more than the Sub. The trade value question I can't help with.

[shoppy]

Yes 100% do it the Sub LN, does nothing for me.

for smaller wrists, the sd4k is usually a better fit. try it on and see for sure if possible. is it worth it? only you can decide.

The SD4k is definitely a nice watch.

Narrower lugs, thicker, raised crystal, engraved case back, minutes marker all around the bezel.

You get the simmetry of a SubND with the convenience of having the date function.

I also like that you don't see it in the wild as you would with a SubC.

For the price gap, is a first class ticket worth the extra vs business class ? If you can afford it, yes it does !

[mailman]

I would in a minute The LVC and SD would make for a great pair.

[travisb]

Yes. It's worth it to me.

[sco]

I wouldn't do it personally, but if you want to, go for it!

[watchwatcher]

I like the resulting combination of a SD and an LVc...pure killer.

Now, is it worth it? A totally different question. I might try checking around with our trusted sellers and seeing if one of them has a nice pre-owned SD that you wouldn't have to take a bath for.

[Time Exposure]

The Sub is a great "only" piece. But it's the same as the Hulk except for color, right?
The SDc with its crystal and matte dial makes a much nicer compliment to the Hulk. I would do it and yes I think it's worth the extra expense.

[41sub]

Thanks for all the input guys. I appreciate it.

[Bfd70]

How about going with an 16610. You'll probably like the fit better and may find a few $$ your way.

[Cru Jones]

I would also give thought instead to an old-school 2-line 14060 with lug holes.

[BuddaLun]

I am in the same situation as well!

My 3-step solution:

1) Give my wife the SubC (it looks damn good on her too!)

2) Just sold my 116264 DJ ToG.

3) Buy SD4k for myself. :)

[landroverking]

I would.

[myc ritz]

yes, it's slightly more badass.

[mudd]

I am in the same situation and thinking about trading my subc date and speedy for one. I cannot get that watch out of head for some reason. I would do it in a hearbeat if I had the hulk.

[simongpaez]

I did exactly that and have no regrets at all, the SD is an amazing watch , you will love it, it is worth.

[dave_dave]

Flip it

[roadie1]

I think it's worth it! I made the move!

[crfsocal]

Do it, you already have the Hulk.

[FTX I]

I would not do it. I love the cyclops and I don't need the extra thickness, raised cristal, HEV, matte dial, engraved caseback etc. But if you want the SD-C go for it. It will be easy to get the Sub back if you regret.

[busytimmy]

SD wears smaller and more elegant on my wrist. No regrets here after flipping my SubC for one...

I flipped HULK for SDc and no regret at all.
As a matter of fact, after I got SDc, I had to let my Bluesy go. SDc looks just better than Subc in my opinion- narrower lugs,a bit more height, matte dial...

I was a Submariner guy for a while.. had three Ceramic subs at one point and have zero sub now.

[AS1]

there is nothing like owning and wearing a watch you love. if the SD4K is that watch for you, then I think you should go for it.

[douglasf13]

You might consider looking at both the Sub Date and Sea Dwellers that are pre-ceramic. Both wear smaller. If you must go with current models, then, yes, I'd go SD4000.
