as we knew that seadweller 16600 has been discontinued, but if there is one in front of you which will you buy?16600 SeaDweller or new SUB ceramic?

gmaines · 25 March 2010, 02:24 AM

I would buy the 16600 SeaDweller...

ABChop · 25 March 2010, 02:26 AM

SD.....but I'm biast........i just bought one :)

Alsey · 25 March 2010, 02:31 AM

I have a sd and a newly aquired gmt IIc. I mention the gmt because the weight and proportions are similarto the new sub. The sd sits a little high on the wrist and although the overall weight approx 145g is about the same as the new sub most of that weight is just the watch head. So I guess it would be the new sub for me.

stusrt · 25 March 2010, 02:35 AM

I just sold my SD and bought the GMT-IIC - best choice I have ever made.

since the new SUB is so similar to the GMT-IIC - I would go with it over the SD for sure.

I'd wait a million gazillion years for the new SS SUB-date Ceramic!!

I'm with you. I have the wicked nice GMTIIc; it needs a brother.

sBmRnR · 25 March 2010, 02:36 AM

Sd 100%

padi56 · 25 March 2010, 02:37 AM

Well have two SDs so dont need a new one and not a fan of the block case or ceramic insert on the new sub. But would like a maxi dial but without the tiny gold surround markers..

robbonds · 25 March 2010, 02:42 AM

new ceramic sub all day...beautiful watch...if i didnt have the FGMT ceramic I would buy the new sub

MikeyTX · 25 March 2010, 02:52 AM

I'm going to join the holdouts and wait for the 2011 roll out of the Explorer II with the orange 24 hr hand.

The grand kids trust will own it after I'm gone.

RolexCat · 25 March 2010, 03:31 AM

SD. I was at my AD yesterday, and they had a Sub ND, Date, and LV. Im really looking at getting the LV. He said he also had orders for the new Sub. Hmmmm maybe some nice pre owned Subs will come into play? Ron

Esexx · 25 March 2010, 03:35 AM

Id go for the Sub C, even though I love the SD.

joeychitwood · 25 March 2010, 03:41 AM

I just purchased a never-worn Sea Dweller from Steve Mulholland in February, and it has become my favorite watch. It's a classic, they aren't making any new ones and it's a proven favorite with a huge base of loyal owners. If the new ceramic Sub can one day say the same, I'll buy one then. Until then, my 1992 two-tone Sub remains my one and only.

expat1 · 25 March 2010, 04:49 AM

SD. A true classic...

bobernet · 25 March 2010, 04:55 AM

SD all the way. I'm not a fan of the new ceramic trend, although I wouldn't throw a GMT IIc in the river if it was given to me. :-)

Hooper · 25 March 2010, 04:57 AM

Sub Ceramic...all the way !

Z-Sub · 25 March 2010, 05:27 AM

SD 4000.

N_Swe · 25 March 2010, 06:27 AM

Hard to say. The SD I have is my all time favourite, but I never tried the new Sub on my wrist so... Maybe.

The new Sub LOOKS damn good though. And if Subs new bracelet is like Milgauss one, then it will be a major improvement.

presario · 25 March 2010, 07:04 AM

Sub Ceramic for me. I love the upgrades. You can't go either way. The SD is so classic and beautiful.

uracowman · 25 March 2010, 10:07 AM

Why did Rolex decide to go with a Ceramic Bezel on the new submariner?

rad87gn · 25 March 2010, 07:10 AM

Wearing my SD today. No interest in ceramic/supercased anything.

LynchFan · 25 March 2010, 11:17 AM

Why not get 'em both....in one watch?

Gerardus · 25 March 2010, 07:22 AM

New sub, no doubt.

rolex_addict · 25 March 2010, 08:02 AM

Get both!

stat · 25 March 2010, 08:18 AM

Acquired a new SD this past year and I love it. My first Rolex and first sports watch. I haven't seen the new sub in person so until then I'll have to say SD.

landroverking · 25 March 2010, 09:03 AM

You will be able to buy the new Sub c for the next 20 years, go for the Sea Dweller now and pick up the Sub c in a couple of years. I would buy the green sub. But I already have a SD and a vintage GMT. (both black dials) The Sub I like the most is still the 18Kt Bluesy with lug holes. Had one sold it and will have one again. But collecting watches is a true sickness!

dwr · 25 March 2010, 10:35 AM

2T sub

superb · 25 March 2010, 10:38 AM

SD for me. I will have to wait to see how the new watch appeals to me.
