Hi guys I wonder if you could help me in choosing a Rolex diver, I just bought my first Explorer 39mm to wear for work and now I would like to buy another one for week ends, diving and just have fun on the beach here in Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya.
Thanks in advance for all your feedback

Elusion · 2 May 2013, 05:44 AM

Sub 114060 (but I'm biased).
Any other no-Date sub would be great.

SaddleSC · 2 May 2013, 05:44 AM

Sub C LV "The Hulk"

Andrés G · 2 May 2013, 05:46 AM

No date SubC

Jay Tee · 2 May 2013, 05:50 AM

If it's primarily a weekend and fun watch, LVc

rohardi · 2 May 2013, 05:57 AM

116610 Sub C

impalass · 2 May 2013, 05:59 AM

Sounds like you need a Submariner.

pjorio · 2 May 2013, 07:57 AM

Hi thanks for all your recommendations, what about a Sea Dweller?
You think it would be suitable?

Seadweller 16600 or 14060m, or a nice 5513 if you like vintage.

GMT2crazy · 2 May 2013, 08:00 AM

Sub, for sure.

Hulk. It's a fun weekend watch and it's not another black faced watch.

This.

Boothroyd · 2 May 2013, 09:09 AM

I have given 2 years of thought to my next watch. The Explorer I 214270, for me, functions as a great work and day-to-day watch. I do find myself wanting a weekend companion though.

I keep coming back to two choices. Omega Speedy Pro and Sub-C No Date. Haven't decided yet as I am a "buy and keep forever" type of buyer.

But given your parameter of needing a functional dive watch, I heartily agree with advice offered. Sub C in one of its variations or DSSD as the mood takes you.

I know the Omega Planet Ocean has many fans. I just think the resale is likely to hold better, if trade is desired, on the Sub C/DSSD.

My

. Good luck with it, and let us know what you decide to do!

nauticajoe · 2 May 2013, 09:14 AM

I'd go with either SD or SubC.

Happy Hunting!

tudorluv · 2 May 2013, 09:19 AM

Black Bay :)

or if only Rolex - Sub C 114060

Boothroyd · 2 May 2013, 09:20 AM

Didn't think of Black Bay, as Tudor is not yet in US. That's good advice, too!

SubC LV as others have said its a great weekend watch and you won't see them in the wild very often.

Rolexwatch · 2 May 2013, 09:24 AM

Check the Pelagos.

My signature says it all...

I too thought my 39mm Exp was going to be my work watch and the Sub-C Date for weekends... Negative.... turns out I use the bezel on the Sub-C Date for timing things quite a bit at work and end up wearing the Exp on the weekends.

cblk · 2 May 2013, 11:53 AM

i went with a 1680 to complement my 39mm exp1 and couldn't be happier! going back and forth between new and vintage never gets old...

best of luck with your decision!

427shark · 2 May 2013, 12:01 PM

Easy sub! The submariner is the ultimate diver/outdoors/rugged sporty/do it all watch IMO... One of the few watches that does it all from hiking - weddings and everything in between

pjorio · 2 May 2013, 12:48 PM

Thanks guys...the Pelagos could also be a nice alternative....I really do like a lot the bracelet with the automatic system that adjusts to your wrist...very clever...well it will be a very hard decision....:)

How about an exp II? Not necessarily a dive watch but a sports model indeed.
