I prefer strongly a date function , so in this case....

sea-dweller · 11 May 2014, 01:31 AM

SDc, for sure...I love the date function

SC11 · 11 May 2014, 04:15 AM

Have yet to see the 116600 in person but from the live pics I'm still swayed towards the clean and simplistic look of the 114060

But then I did flip my 116610LN for the 114060

Differences that immediately spring to mind.

1. Fully graduated bezel
2. Helium Escape Valve
3. Matte/Satin dial
4. Date
5. Raised crystal
6. Divers Extension
7. Significant additional depth rating
8. Deeper case
9. Slimmer and shorter lugs, changing the shape significantly
10. Less square crown guards
11. Much less common (never seen another SD in the wild (old or new)

It's perfectly ok to prefer the Sub, but to say they are really similar is just not true.

X 1000 totally agree

DamageInc.77 · 11 May 2014, 05:36 AM

Why not the 16600?

SD over the sub date ceramic and non date ceramic no question IMHO It might be expensive but to compare it with sub non date is a bit unfair.

SDC just might be the best dive watch Rolex has ever made.

wrxsti · 11 May 2014, 03:21 PM

do u like the sdc so much more that you are willing to pay $5k more than the subc nd?

I'll be keeping my subc nd...but the sdc is a cool watch

A_Tone · 11 May 2014, 03:41 PM

Keep the 114060.

this one !

For what its worth, i had both the 14060 & 16600 at the same time for about a year, looks wise, the balance of the sub is the biggest draw of the sub over the sub date...truth is when i look at the SD, due to the style (size & color) of the date, the balance is present on the SD as well + you get all the other bells & whistles...i eventually sold my sub & kept the SD, it was the best choice for me.

But those where the older versions, the newer sub bezel is more substantial compared to the older version. The older bezel felt significantly less substantial than the SD bezel.

Wllnv19 · 12 May 2014, 12:40 AM

If you can't have both you gotta stick with the Sub.

MortgageGuy · 12 May 2014, 12:52 AM

SDC for me no question

I love the new SD too if Id go there

Robertus2 · 12 May 2014, 02:07 AM

As an active person date feature is important for me. I couldn't decide without seeing SD in the flesh how I can see the date in dim light thru my glasses. Date window seems to be small and digits written with thin lines, mainly to fit under the cyclops. Date on my 7750-driven watches are on the border line of visibility and the SD seems worse on this.
Hope this helps.

strafer_kid · 12 May 2014, 06:17 AM

Personal taste really - the new SD is a bit heavier than the a Sub, but is a very nice watch. You could not go wrong with either!

SubC + Date = Extra 1K = SubC Date
SubC + Date + extra depth = SubC + $1k + $2k = New SD4000

So, if you are fine willing to spend $3k for date and extra depth, you should go ahead. But if you think you are fine without date and never gonna use the extra depth, then no point of paying for it unless you wanted a kick by owning the 'latest Rolex' in the market!

Tombstone · 12 May 2014, 02:52 PM

114060 all the way. I would also start an account to buy the SD. A little here and there in a few years both will be yours. If I could have only 2 Rolex watches it would be a Sub and SD.
Good luck
