I voted for the Dweller however, this is a tough decision for me as I am actually contemplating as Sea Dweller or a Sub Date. I might get the Sea Dweller now and then wait for this

I always believe the better features is a better watch. So the SD wins my vote, hands down. Not even the DRSD or COMEX wins my vote over the late SD, cos the late SD is simply better than those too. JMO.

Don't be deceived by the SD's look, right under that dial packs with a PUNCH!!!

Very True! And I agree.

But what if the SD has a cyclop, I wonder those who voted for Sub will go for the SD?

However, for me, if even the Sub has no cyclop, I would not go for it as it still lacks of a helium release and not rated 4000ft.

JMO.

In a 'round about way if you have one you have the other, only a couple of subtle differences between the two, and most people will NEVER take either one to the max limit underwater anyway. The price difference between the two is not that great so if someone wants the SD, go for it. Don't forget you can always remove the cyclops from the Sub if it's something you don't care for.

My vote is the SD since I have a all-black GMT already, the Sub and GMT is more alike. The SD is a mean diving machine in my opinion...

SD for me ! I prefer the heavyweight versus the lightweight. Also prefer the cleaner looking no cyclops crystal.

Sea Dweller all the way. I was initially drawn to the Sub but on reflection preferred not to have the cyclops. For me it ruined the lines of the watch. For me, the SD is perfection.

I have a SD. One watch one man. thats all she wrote. I think the SD is more popular here on TRF, but it is said the sub date is more pop. Forget what we think, and get what makes you smile. I am a big guy so the SD makes me smile.

SD all the the way. Nice and clean. And feel more sportier and heavy. I love the thickness of the crystal. Just got mine just recently. Can't take my eyes of it.
