I tried the new Sub at my AD, it is a very nice looking watch, but i still prefer my older Sub.

Watchdog · 1 January 2011, 05:02 AM

Do you want a smaller or larger wrist presence?

Do you appreciate the new clasp and think it's worth the extra money?

Do you actually dive and therefore might worry about the ceramic banging on sharp rocks while underwater?

jonboy · 1 January 2011, 05:35 AM

thats what iam not sure about the case, it kind of makes the watch look more square that and the lugs.

SaddleSC · 1 January 2011, 05:40 AM

I like them both. Overall, I would choose the classic Sea Dweller over either one. If I could not have a 16600 then I would choose the new Sub C. Too many improvements to ignore.

Jason71 · 1 January 2011, 05:41 AM

I actually prefer the older style myself.........but I wouldn't kick a ceramic sub off my wrist if it was given to me.

So what do you like about the old model then...?

Gerardus · 1 January 2011, 06:24 AM

I like them both.

dddrees · 1 January 2011, 06:57 AM

When faced with a tough decision, either chose one or get both.

HL65 · 1 January 2011, 07:05 AM

Lug holes--classic tool watch.

dooder202 · 1 January 2011, 07:56 AM

I honestly don't see how people like the older model better? Unless your going for a clasic look. What's there not to love about the new sub-c???

ibramr · 1 January 2011, 10:37 AM

Of course, it is a matter of opinion, but the older sub and GMT models are more faithful to the concept of the "tool watch" than the newer ones. The newer ones tend to add a "jewelry" touch to the image--but this is just me. I am also affected by the possibility to buy used from a trusted seller here at a considerable discount to you. Enjoy.

Its all a matter of which one sings louder to you.

Sixxgrand1 · 1 January 2011, 10:46 AM

Older one. Better bracelet / case integration / less weight - more comfort / will last a lifetime / classic...

2jabs · 1 January 2011, 12:14 PM

Go for the sub c it's the watch of your generation.

Tek · 1 January 2011, 01:22 PM

Have you try both on? That might help. Good luck, have fun...

7S26 · 1 January 2011, 01:52 PM

I like both but I prefer the 16610.

689maple · 1 January 2011, 01:55 PM

Classic

Does a few grams really make a difference? I am far from a strong person but I can't say I notice a difference from one watch to the next while wearing them, weight wise. If it was a dssd or a propplof then I'd understand but nob old to new sub IMHO.
Ps I love my subc! Happy new year!
