Those with a Submariner AND a Seadweller...why?

I appreciated that the SeaDweller had a date and no cyclops while the Sub Date had a cyclops, but of course the 114060 Submariner has no date, which is even better.

If you scrutinize, you can see the differences and make room for both. Or maybe you're a collector and you want both. Or maybe you just like both. I'm trying to keep my collection at a manageable size (I was over 30 two years ago, and that's just too many; trying to stay under 10), so I try not to have too much overlap. For example, I have two divers now (Submariner and blue BB ETA), and while I love them both, they're really similar in my eyes. I don't think I could add a third diver to my collection unless it were vastly different. But then again, everyone has different preferences for that sort of thing.

That is a very deep sink Raza....

I have both as well. Sometimes The sub is best worn with a dress shirt and also just has a different more classic feel . The sea dweller obviously is larger and more pronounced . Each one speaks to me in a different way and I think they are both great watches .

For me the sub is a very wearable watch almost put it on a forget and sits on my wrist knuckle without sliding down because the weight is just right . The sd43 I like to wear with a short sleeve shirt and it’s size is just right compared to my dssd that I find just to big and bulky and everyone notices it so much when I’m wearing it .
