Go with the SD 116600.
It will make you smile.

Savitr · 10 May 2017, 05:57 PM

This is going to be a difficult decision, I have a soft spot for both watches but in this case I would go with 116600

ejvette · 12 May 2017, 10:15 AM

8K for an SD4K is a pretty good price today they have jumped up to over 9K for nice pre loved watch

dave023 · 25 June 2017, 06:10 PM

I had both but only kept the 116600. Both are wonderful watches, so no bad choices only preferences. On the other side, you'll always be able to purchase a 114060 later on.

SeaDweller50 · 10 May 2017, 06:06 PM

116600. I've had both and believe me the SD is The Perfect Dive Watch. 114060's are 2 a penny.

Godwin Austen · 10 May 2017, 06:10 PM

I have a 116600 and a 7.5" wrist and the SD wears fine. Interestingly, there have been many comments on this forum that the SD fits smaller wrists better than the newer maxi case Subs. So, you may find that the Sub looks a bit better on your wrist. Saying that, there's not a lot in it though, so go for what sings to you so you'll love it every time you put it on...

lain09 · 10 May 2017, 06:54 PM

Try both of them on. The SD4K felt and looked a bit awkward on my wrist each time I tried it. Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I think the SD4K lugs are still thick compared to the 5-digit models and being shorter than the center links doesn't help.

With an 8-inch wrist I'd actually try the new SD50.

Toivonen · 10 May 2017, 09:01 PM

16600, 116600 or 116660 lifetime watches!

Nibs · 12 May 2017, 03:27 AM

I've had my SD4K for a month or so and am very pleased with how it looks, wears and feels. I've never tried on a Sub so I cannot comment on it, however, with my bias opinion I say go with the SD4k, or, whichever feels the best and/or you gravitate to the most!

Good luck!

Daytonaman799 · 12 May 2017, 05:20 AM

SD4K...its a GREAt watch, has the date....Just love the whole package.

Romeojk · 12 May 2017, 10:02 AM

Go for the 114060, you can get it brand new for that price I'm sure. Go through a trusted seller in this forum. Good luck they are both gorgeous!!

Definitely 116600!

HoustonRoo · 12 May 2017, 11:26 AM

SD4K. No question about it

nick800 · 12 May 2017, 11:34 AM

You can get a 114060 sealed for essentially the price referenced for a TS. I'd do that. And did.

uncufunc · 12 May 2017, 11:35 AM

See if you can live without a date...

jayabharath · 25 June 2017, 01:16 PM

114060 is cleaner, simpler, lighter, thinner and more classic.

I was on the border for a while but I'm glad I went with SubC though SD4K is not bad. Try both on and get what sings to you

That's a great price for the now discontinued 116600

ekbusdriver · 26 June 2017, 01:19 AM

I went with a 14060M 4-liner.

I love the SD models as well, and a 16600 will most likely be my 2nd Rolex.

watchwatcher · 26 June 2017, 01:22 AM

Love the symmetry and simplicity of the sub...so that would be my pick. Hard to beat a sub for the first.

If you still have the yearning for a SD down the road, then you could bring in a SD43 for a nice change up to the sub.

116600!
