Ok guys simple poll. This is your one and only.

Whats it to be:

Rolex Submariner Date S/S

Rolex Sea-Dweller

SPACE-DWELLER · 15 February 2008, 09:07 AM

If I were to choose, I definately go for the SD. I am not a big fan of the cyclops but do like a date function in my watch. Also, personally I love the thick case of the SD and the higher standing crystal. The polished sides of the bracelet links gives it that extra bit of exclusivity, too, IMHO. Furthermore, you don't see SD's as often "in the wild" as you see SS Sub Dates.

Having said that, I also like the SS Sub Date (I've had 9 of them), but I'd still prefer the SD due to the above characteristics.

AGENT4734 · 15 February 2008, 09:08 AM

DS +1

But there are rumors of a new case design at the Bazel show? Maybe worth it to wait before someone picks one up?

mborkow · 15 February 2008, 09:12 AM

the latest rumor is a 43/44 mm case with two crowns (one is HEV); personally, i find the two crowns rumor hard to swallow...rolex would just be copying everyone else if they went that route :-(

steel4me · 15 February 2008, 09:19 AM

Pretty hard to believe and swallow the 2nd crown argument ..... but if ROLEX copied someone else's design, I am then gonna liquidate all my inventory ....

Tools · 15 February 2008, 09:19 AM

Sub, hands down..

There wouldn't even be a Sea Dweller if the Sub hadn't started it all..

And the cyclops...everybody looks at your wrist for that tell-tale bubble...

Oh yeah........that's the one..

steel4me · 15 February 2008, 09:20 AM

I also heard that depth rating is gonna go up ,,, theny ain't making the case bigger for nothing .... put on a ceramic bezel and increase depth to 6000ft and I am ready to use my paypal

C.J. · 15 February 2008, 09:21 AM

If I could only have one, it's be a pepsi. But, out of your options, the 16610 hands down, for me

mike · 15 February 2008, 09:34 AM

16610 for me as well.

walds11 · 15 February 2008, 09:44 AM

16610 for me too. I hate everything that Bo likes about the SD. Seriously :)

frostie · 15 February 2008, 09:46 AM

Sub date for me

One of the most iconic watches ever made

sphereman · 15 February 2008, 09:48 AM

easy..
SD anyday..

fear · 15 February 2008, 09:50 AM

16610 too.

I love the SD. I'd get another (if I had the funds) without thinking. But the current sub's an icon.

And as much as I'm curios--although apprehensive--to see what the upgrades will look like. Nothing excites me more than the classic designs.

kcmo · 15 February 2008, 09:54 AM

Sub Date for me all the way!

Letsgodiving · 15 February 2008, 10:02 AM

SD all the way.

mailman · 15 February 2008, 10:07 AM

16610 every day of the week for me

SSD · 15 February 2008, 10:14 AM

Yeap, no doubt!

HYDROMAROC · 15 February 2008, 10:20 AM

Since I own a SD, I am biased... I like the weight and obvious size

steel4me · 15 February 2008, 10:23 AM

I think the SD is losing its massive status .... I compared it against
the GMT MASTER IIc and you know it looks tougher than the SD. Also
the gmt IIc feels as massive if not massiver than the SD ....

Baptistman,

Are you regretting trading in your SD for the SUB?

steelman

Texsubmariner · 15 February 2008, 10:56 AM

SD for me. Own both, the SD feels better on my weist, and is more exclusive.

robrtx · 15 February 2008, 11:16 AM

Sub date

DS/B MINI S · 15 February 2008, 11:29 AM

I've gotta go with the SD. If only because you see so few in the wild.

roadcarver · 15 February 2008, 11:36 AM

SD for me!

Old SD with only 4000ft had really been bothering me...

I hate having to leave it on the boat every time I take a dip into the Mariana Trench.

topcat30093 · 15 February 2008, 12:35 PM

So far in my life I have owned 3 Subs and 1 SD so I suppose that says it all.
I didn't keep the SD long because I missed not having the cyclops lense.

firewalkwithme · 15 February 2008, 12:36 PM

SD for me. I think that will be my next one, if I ever get another.

Joey_V · 15 February 2008, 01:19 PM

No contest for me..... Sub Date ftw... all the way, baby!

kingblackbolt · 15 February 2008, 01:24 PM

I would like to own both but first I'd go with the SD...
