Yes Bo I know there are differances but sans the cyclops it's hard to tell. Unless I was a hard core collector I personally would not have 2 Rolex so close in look and feel to one another. I would want some seperation in style. I would go fo a SD and tt sub or a Certi. Maybe a SD and a Yachtie...something like that. Just my opinions. It would be interesting to find out how many guys have a SD and a Sub both and which one gets wrist time.

I agree.
To the average enthusiast looking for a panorama of timepieces the duplication isn't necessary. Both references have storied histories and from a practical standpoint one is as "tough" as the other.
The SD is the logical extension of the Sub., built to address the special needs of the professional.
To a collector however, while sharing a common genesis, each plays an important part in the overall completness of a collection.
I can't imagine a collection based on the evolution of the Rolex diver being complete without both.
