Try to buy a s/s Rolex but cannot decide. Please give suggestions. Either a sub or sd. I heard they will replace the sd to deepsea, is it correct? Thanks.

I'd say go to an AD and try them both on. See which one smiles back at you the most. You can't go wrong with either one

As far as the SD being replaced, only time will tell.

X2 Paulie!

We can all tell you what is best but there is no substitute for Trying the watch on your wrist!!! You will se one of them come alive as you do, and that will be the one!!!!

If you want to get technical:
1) Sea Dweller if you will go deep sea diving (although not as deep as the abyss Dweller can)
2) Sub if you will probably consider diving and like the Cyclops.

I personally like them both a great deal and would probably buy the SD as that watch feels more robust!

Sub for me!More iconic than SD!
But they`re both fantastic watches,no doubt about it...

frostie · 9 April 2008, 09:58 AM

If i where you i would go for the sub but it's up to you

Go and try them both

Texsubmariner · 9 April 2008, 10:00 AM

Both are great watches. You cannot go wrong with either one. The SD now has a big brother in the Deep Sea, and the Sub will undergo changes with the TT and SS models in the near future. Rolex is at the crossroads right now in terms of design. If you like the current (and more iconic) versions, don't wait too long.

Yep, that really is all you need to do. Good Luck with your choice

Compare and decide which is for you.

x3 - best of luck in your decision...

Baptistman · 9 April 2008, 06:43 PM

As others have said, try before you buy. As long as you buy the SD

Andad · 9 April 2008, 06:49 PM

Hmmm?

Sub, nice - has BIG date - yes.

SD, nice - has small date but..... yes .... SD.

swatty · 9 April 2008, 06:51 PM

How deep are you going to dive?

Jokes aside , I'd go for the sub

Omnibus · 9 April 2008, 08:36 PM

It's best if you could go to an AD and try them on. They tend to feel different on the wrist. See which one you like most on your wrist. By just looking at them or seeing the pics might not provide a good judgment.

Trurolexer · 10 April 2008, 12:39 AM

I prefer Sub, more iconic. But SD is the "REAL" diver watch...

Atomant · 10 April 2008, 12:44 AM

The sub is an iconic piece, but so is the SD. I love the SD for it's look without cyclops. Both is a good choice!
