I've been monitoring 14060M resale prices recently, and have noticed a 10% spike in the past month or so.

So why am I still jonesing for a Sea-Dweller?

Because the SD is an awesome watch!

Get the SD! You won't regret it. I got the SS Sub Date 1st, but kept thinking about the SD, with its cleaner crystal profile, slightly smaller dial, awesome depth rating, albeit with more heft. I finally pulled the trigger on it this past weekend. The SD is similar in profile to your Sub ND.

Ed, have you tried a Seadweller on ?
I wanted one until the first time I tried it on. The thing just flopped around and wouldnt lie still.

Compare that to your "fits like a glove" Sub......

Go for an SD, as well. Although it might look like a 14060M from a distance, the SD sure is a totally different watch altogether, both in size, weight and looks on the wrist:

My (now flipped) SD (have to flip it to get the SS GMT IIc):

The SD relies on proper bracelet sizing more than other models for sure. Spend a few hours wearing it at different pin holes and the effort will be well spent.

Stunning photos, makes me even more proud of my SD.

I'm liking those SD shots.

Can you tell the difference from 3 feet, and through a 2MP camera phone?

Thanks Ed!!! The camera's an old Sony I purchased in 2002 a 4 megapixel Cybershot. This thing's ancient technology. Learning from the great photographers on this site, I've learned that shooting at interesting angles (instead of full frontal) help.

I can't tell from the pic the difference. But the SD makes me smile everytime. My wrist knows it!

Ed, I'm a big fan of the simple elegance of the Sub., but in this case I'm with the SD lovers. It's a special watch with a unique history.

Teofilo · 11 January 2008, 06:26 AM

Trying to decide between a Seadweller, a Sub and a Sub Date is about the most common problem for Rolex owners. It took me months to finally decide.
All three are great watches, so I suppose there is no wrong answer.
