I'm voting LVc to give you a little splash of color, but most importantly I think it will be a more comfortable watch for you with your wrists. I have skinny wrists, too, and understand what it's like trying to get the right fit. No wrong decision here, however, as both are really great pieces.

That said, I feel compelled to say this: please don't discount the Daytona b/c it doesn't have the glidelock. It is probably the most comfortable watch I've ever owned. Now if you don't like the way it looks on your wrist, or the legibility, or the lack of date, or any of the other things the Daytona haters always complain about, that's one thing, but the lack of glidelock should not be a determining factor for you. Just my two cents.

Good luck with your decision and keep us posted.

What about selling the SubC Date and then buying the LVc and SDc?

Then your collection would be:
-SubC (no date diver)
-SubC LVc (green so they're not all black bezel divers)
-SDc (what may the the ultimate diver in the current Rolex lineup)

I would never say I hate the Daytona, and a normal person in possession of their mental faculties could never say that, but if I would give a chance for another model without the Glidelock + long clasp I think the GMT-C LN would be my first choice. Best thing to do right now is wait, Larry. With the price of the SD-C the way it is now its not a fair competition. Thanks for your inputs my friend.

I'm sure that makes sense and the huge majority here would do something like that, but collecting watches doesn't always make sense and I would never be happy if I had to sell any of my Subs. In fact Im wearing both right now as I type. Alright, that is ridiculous, but Im at home and my wife is a great girl :)

viper9669 · 24 May 2014, 01:53 PM

I vote LVc, sir👍

FiftyTwoEighty · 24 May 2014, 02:04 PM

Another vote for LVc. I was ready to go SDc, but I decided that I didn't need two black divers or three black Rolexes. I went LVc for some color.

I can see myself adding the SDc, at some point in the future.

Rashid.bk · 24 May 2014, 02:51 PM

I vote LVc but in reality I like Chris' idea. Dump the black Subs and get the LVc and SDc. Instant winning combo.....
...orrrrr, Flip the black Sub Date for the LVc and add the SDc, a way better three combo.

The original Sub, an LVc, and a SDc. The End!

IAN1 · 24 May 2014, 04:20 PM

The LV just POPS!!

Gerardus · 24 May 2014, 05:26 PM

voted:Forget about that and use the money for something else, but buy a SUB-C or EXII42MM imho.

lipjin · 24 May 2014, 05:36 PM

Go with the LVc and the SDc or do what I did - LVc and DeepC!

Great Pic Rashid. Thanks for your thoughts my friend, but I've had my share of selling watches. No No for selling any of my Subs :))

So far 56 x 50. Quite impressive. Two great competitors and here's a proof of that.

mikkemus23 · 25 May 2014, 12:19 AM

I'd go SDc if I had to choose one...

But my pick was both

You can bet I'd do the same if I could without selling any of mine. Great pair, Eirik. Thanks for sharing.

FTX I · 25 May 2014, 03:17 AM

Thanks guys. I'll have some months to decide and wait to see more reasonable prices on the SD-C. When the time comes I have this thread to visit again and consider every opinion shared here. Awesome crowd. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I think it will be quite a while before we can expect reasonable prices for the 116600. Look at the BLNR. It's been out for a while and the prices are still high. Maybe this will make the decision process easier for you (i.e., going with the LVC).

BNA/LION · 25 May 2014, 05:24 AM

SD-C since your comments about the Daytona or would have said Daytona.

I'll spend new years eve in Amsterdam again this year and Schiphol AD is very interesting. Dont you believe we can see a normal price scenario when we reach december? The SD-C is not rare so I cant see why not my friend.

Sorry, I assumed you were planning on buying a used one. By Christmas, I'm sure they will be easier to find so getting one at MRSP should not be a problem. I don't know how things work in Amsterdam, but in the US, I'm sure you won't be able to negotiate a discount at an AD. Since you (I'm assuming?) don't live in Amsterdam, maybe you can get a VAT refund.

Wish I lived there. But being there for the 21st time with my girl next december I like to believe I'm almost local :) Here's the deal. My AD in Rio offers me MSRP and no sales tx but thats it. Only bought my 2254 from them back in 2010 and nothing else, but we are still good friends. The price at Schiphol AD is list price - 17% VAT so its a very very good price indeed and they have almost every model. I like the idea of getting a watch in a special date like I did this new years eve in AMS with my 114060.

Never thought of having a green watch before. But it's a beautiful green watch.

You live in Rio? But I thought it wasn't safe to wear your Rolex in Brazil.

gummy · 25 May 2014, 07:11 AM

Add LV now...

Then add SDC when/if it can be am little less expensive...

As you wait to add the SDC find out which of the 3 divers you like best (for me it would be LVC)

Trade one of the current black divers into the SDC.

Then you end up with a killer diver collection!!!
