Sea Dweller impulse!

Went into my AD to order/get a DJ41 (long story)

They pulled out those two beauties and without thinking I found myself buying them both and having them shipped.

I was thinking of keeping one and flipping the other
Which one do you think I should keep?

I'm kind of partial to the D-Blue dial, so that's my vote. Although, if I was in your position, I might think about flipping the other DS for a SD43.

I'd sell the one that you can make the biggest profit on. If you recieved a discount on both I'd keep the Cameron..

Beautiful watches. Not sure I follow the flipping dilemma though. Is the black DSSD any hot these days making it worth buyjng from AD and then flip as a private seller???

I would keep the D-Blue. I have one on my wrist when writing this. It can dive 12800ft/3900m, sure, but it is also perfect when posting to forums :D

I had the DSSD on my “list” and never really thought of the Blue but when I tried it I really liked it and in an impulse bought both

My heart is choosing the DSSD and my mind is telling me the Blue will become “collectible” when discontinued.

I will listen to my heart.

I also need to pick a different route to work.... one that doesn’t pass by my AD

Good for you. The more the better i say.

Dssd blue is a gorgeous dial and wins compared to black dial any day. The black has its own charm, and frankly a steal of a deal vs. the blue.

Keep the d-blue, sell the black DS, get the SD50 with red line and you end up with 2 collectible watches that cover wider range of design/dimensions

This makes a great deal of sense to me. These are the pieces I would choose.

Only a steal of a deal until JC gets discontinued

People have short memories about the 16610LV

The day will come when JC values skyrocket make no mistake.

Tough choice but i would keep the Deep Sea Deep Blue. 126600 would get my vote if it was into play though.

That's completely a personal decision. I would personally choose the Cameron.

Keep the DSSD Cameron...Has more of a 'pop' w the blue transition dial and DEEPSEA in the green.

UNLESS you want to sell... it is next on my hit list.

Congrats!...regardless of which one you keep!

I think you missed my point, which was: Black is a great deal compared to blue.

If, as you suggest, blue gets discontinued, then its price may go even higher and black would be an even better deal.
