Dear All,

Which one is the best for daily ?

Please tell me your suggestion, thanks

darthmouse · 3 September 2010, 03:29 PM

SD in my opinion... Although its weight may make the Sub C better.

Speed · 3 September 2010, 03:31 PM

GMTIIC is more versatile IMHO

sleddog · 3 September 2010, 03:44 PM

I have to agree with Bill for everyday wear....
The Sd is a little heavier(I wear it everyday!),but not too out there for weight!!
The DSSD,although I love it,don't think it's an everyday watch! For me anyway....

p_surabhi · 3 September 2010, 03:52 PM

Hands down............ Sea-Dweller !!

George Ab · 3 September 2010, 03:54 PM

Not the Deepsea. Sea Dweller is a great weight, classic band is comfortable and works well. IIc is lovely, dial more interesting with fourth hand, has more bling with the PCL, and new clasp works well. IIc based on weight, but sea-dweller is a close, close second.

lee2375 · 3 September 2010, 03:54 PM

DSSD for certain

TheDude · 3 September 2010, 11:32 PM

Try to get a 16660. I just grabbed one and it's super nice. I seem to be wearing it more than my other watches.

Same case/bracelet as the 16600 but a slightly older movement. (3035 vs. 3135).

It has a nicer old font "open" datewheel. The ones with the gloss dials aren't too pricey.

Gerardus · 3 September 2010, 11:36 PM

For me, but its personal the GMT2C (for the fact traveling, i do not dive...only in the bath-tub

)

ersnyder · 3 September 2010, 11:40 PM

16600 is a true Rolex classic and suitable for wear any time any where!

jamesworthy52 · 3 September 2010, 11:52 PM

The GMT but the SD is a close 2nd for me.

darthmouse · 4 September 2010, 12:16 AM

Somehow I read "116710LN" as "116610LN." GMTII-C for daily.

JUSTROLEXES · 4 September 2010, 12:20 AM

Since it's for everyday...
116710LN 1st place
SD Second and DSSD 3rd

The GMT Master · 4 September 2010, 12:50 AM

GMT IIc, it's by far the most versatile watch that Rolex produces today

psv · 4 September 2010, 01:48 AM

The one not on your list - Sub C!

Adore the classic 16600 SD, however, the lume isn't very good compared to one of the modern watches like the GMTIIC, DSSD or Sub C, and the bracelet isn't on par either.

I had the GMTIIC, love the maxi dial/hands, but the dial gets too busy w/ the 4th hand and whole package is more bling/dress than tool.

I have the DSSD, it is a monster that is heavy and thick. It is not an optimal EDC for most people. Sure, it is the baddest Rolex on the planet, you can take it to hell and back - yada, yada, yada - I've had it for almost a year and wear it a lot, but it is not an optimal all around watch.

So my vote goes to the Sub C: new maxi dial/hands, better lume, very comfortable with new bracelet, nice evolutionary design, goes with anything!

QueueCumber · 4 September 2010, 01:54 AM

None of the above...

gone-rolex-mad · 4 September 2010, 01:56 AM

gotta be the SD for me

alexxelor · 4 September 2010, 04:58 AM

16600 but only V

SLS · 4 September 2010, 05:03 AM

It was a tough choice between the SD & GMT IIc, but the SD just slightly edged it out in my book. The reason, it was my first Rolex!

Gadgetman · 9 September 2010, 12:47 AM

SDDS, more with the times, great watch.

PAKLOKKEI · 13 September 2010, 01:39 AM

thanks all for your advise !

jmsrolls · 13 September 2010, 01:48 AM

The Sea Dweller is a classic - great for every day and all occasions.
