Which one would you get V serial sub c or a V serial sea dweller.

cdweller · 27 October 2012, 02:28 AM

Tough choice. SD for me bc of classic case shape and discontinued status. Close call though

landroverking · 27 October 2012, 05:29 AM

Voted SD. Wouldn't want/have a Sub c

nauticajoe · 27 October 2012, 05:33 AM

SD

newsboy · 27 October 2012, 05:47 AM

The choice is yours
16600

16660

1665

floater156 · 27 October 2012, 05:48 AM

I find the subc to be more comfy. DSSD is heavy, and I prefer lighter watches if it can!

DTMwatch · 27 October 2012, 07:32 AM

Sea-dweller is a classic. Can't go wrong with either one-- good luck.

ronbo710 · 27 October 2012, 07:51 AM

I am sorry but until Rolex gets over their "Bigger is Better" fixation they have lost me. The SD 16600 is the Ultimate in my book. Cheers -Ron

Dr. Robert · 27 October 2012, 07:53 AM

A vote for the 16600.

Art 1 · 27 October 2012, 07:53 AM

Sd.

Woody · 27 October 2012, 07:59 AM

I have been lucky enough to own both and I am in no doubt that the best watch is the Sub-C - it really is way ahead of the SD (and I owned an SD as a daily wearer for 5 years). I would imagine though that most on this forum will suggest you purchase the SD but IMO it is vastly over-hyped.

Good luck with your choice.

JizJizJiz · 28 October 2012, 02:04 PM

16600 here too. I prefer the cleaner no cyclops look, and I'm not the type to go modify my crystal to remove the cyclops. Plus I prefer the slightly thicker SD case as well.

malarky_hk · 28 October 2012, 05:36 PM

Sea Dweller gets my vote as I like the heavier feel and no cyclops.

bungcarlo · 28 October 2012, 05:42 PM

Buy the Sub-C. Too many SD owners already ( because it's the best )!

sgt1255 · 28 October 2012, 05:43 PM

SD for me.

Good day

Roller07 · 29 October 2012, 12:44 AM

SD for me..........just in case i go on a saturation dive

Kram · 29 October 2012, 01:37 AM

Why would you mention the serial letter when there are other posts on another thread here today which say this is irrelevant to the desirability or value of the watch? I don't really understand this.

WindyCityLarryB · 29 October 2012, 02:27 AM

Have both but wear the sd most of the time..love they way it fits and that its not made anymore!!! My vote for the classic SD

brkanand · 29 October 2012, 02:27 AM

my ad says its possible some V - SD's may be ones with the parachrom hairspring which would make it more collectible and a V is the last run for the older SD. it makes a difference based on cost to own etc... i see V series SD's with stickers asking for more than Sub-C's already.

karmatp · 29 October 2012, 03:27 AM

You are basically considering two completely different watches, one is jewelery, the other is pure tool.

When I owned a Sub C, I flat out did not enjoy wearing it. The case/bracelet proportions are all off, the ceramic is way to shiny and the clasp is too long.

The SD is pretty much the perfect diver, go get one.
