I only want to keep one, which one should I keep?

116613 Submariner Diamonds?

16613 Submariner serti?

What are your thoughts?

MUSTAQT · 13 May 2018, 12:37 AM

Aren't they both considered "serti"?

Danny83 · 13 May 2018, 01:01 AM

I would keep the ceramic serti

Honestly not a huge fan of either, but I think there's something charming about the 5 digit.

What's your motivation to move one?

ras47 · 13 May 2018, 01:35 AM

I don’t think diamonds are the best look for the Sub. It’s the quintessential tool watch - a big attraction for me. Classic black is the one I’d choose. Ceramic.

I think so.

Hopefully someone will correct us if we’re wrong, but I am with you on this one.

I dont know man, maybe back in the day they were tool Watches, but all Rolex, even the steel model of nowdays are all luxury watches :)

There is nothing better then a 116613 Diamond Dial. The diamonds are just for you, no one will even notice them but you. True perfection in my book

Yes they are both the same.

MJ8 · 13 May 2018, 02:39 AM

Not a fan of either. Sorry.

HL65 · 13 May 2018, 02:41 AM

I’d keep the 5 digit slate serti for sure.

russ86 · 13 May 2018, 02:42 AM

Not a big fan of watches with diamonds, but between those 2, The ceramic 100%

Rolex time is money · 13 May 2018, 02:45 AM

From my understanding, the 16613 is call serti since they have sapphires too, but the 116613 with only Diamonds is called Submariner Diamonds dial

Cru Jones · 13 May 2018, 02:48 AM

The slate without question. Very nice and special combo.

Etschell · 13 May 2018, 03:15 AM

sell both and replace with a 116618lb serti.

They are luxury tool watches still capable of doing all the things and taking all the abuse that they were originally designed for. Some people baby them like an expensive piece of jewelry and some use them as originally intended. There’s nothing wrong with either. I’d keep the slate serti.

dmhines · 13 May 2018, 03:35 AM

Ceramic. Much rarer for sure.

True. Things change. But I’m a 1970’s guy and regressing daily. :) I guess my view is overly nostalgic.

Grnvette65 · 13 May 2018, 07:18 AM

The 5 digit Serti is the best, truly a classic. I think you will regret it someday if you sold it. Btw nice flat 4 bezel.

Kiddodoc · 13 May 2018, 07:42 AM

Ceramic sub

Abdullah71601 · 13 May 2018, 07:49 AM

The silver serti is a classic dial and they aren't making them anymore. Keep the 5 digit.

dmhines · 13 May 2018, 07:54 AM

The Serti 5 digit Subs are for sale all over the place. You will have lots of competition unfortunately . Try to find a 6 Digit Diamond for sale ... not easy.

Watch Rob · 13 May 2018, 08:23 AM

Slate dial for sure.

mikeps2006 · 13 May 2018, 01:18 PM

Ceramic. U don’t see them often.

The five digit looks great with the silver dial.
