Hello Everybody !

I have the opportunity to get a BNIB Sea-Dweller 116600 at 10k
or a BNIB SubC 114060 under 7k . Both watches at Rolex AD...papers under my name,etc...

I have in my box : 116520 white, 116610LV, Explorer 114270, Tudor Black Bay black, DJII blue stick 116334.

I know this is probably my last chance to get the Sea-Dweller with the full package on my name...I also doubt about being able to get it for under MSRP down the road...

I am wondering if it is really worth to spend more than 3k over the 114060 at this time ?

What would you do in my position ?

Thanks !!!

I like the 116600, however I love the 114060. I don't feel like the 4K is as special as the 16600 so I would go sub.

116600

Sea-Dweller is king of the sea. Go with the king.

The 116600 will probably win but the 114060 is my favorite Rolex model so I'm going Sub C

You have great taste...you own my favorite (the LV) !

By the way, simply out of curiousity, why do you prefer the 114060 over the LV ?

cck1609 · 1 June 2017, 02:46 PM

Go for the sd

sensui · 1 June 2017, 02:54 PM

116600....not close.

116600

anakyn101 · 1 June 2017, 04:08 PM

Sd4k 116600

SonnyAK · 1 June 2017, 05:54 PM

SD definitely!!

Andad · 1 June 2017, 06:14 PM

Both are top models.

If $$'s are not an issue the SD is a Rolex engineering masterpiece.

Or choose the 114060 for simplicity and symmetry.

There is no bad choice here.

presario · 1 June 2017, 06:19 PM

Hands down the SD4K.

dave023 · 1 June 2017, 06:28 PM

SD for sure

Watch Admirer · 1 June 2017, 10:31 PM

I would go for the sea dweller

Crazy88 · 2 June 2017, 01:14 AM

SDc!

sea-dweller · 2 June 2017, 01:14 AM

Sea-Dweller would be my choice.

GB-man · 2 June 2017, 01:39 AM

Can't go wrong here. I have and love the 116600.

lord91 · 2 June 2017, 02:04 AM

Sub.

Chocodove · 2 June 2017, 02:08 AM

I own both and the SDc is the obvious choice. You'll always be able to get a Sub.

captain_NEMO · 2 June 2017, 02:11 AM

SD! And don't forget the pics!!

derekstlmo · 2 June 2017, 02:32 AM

My favorite 2 modern pieces I'd get the sd

33JS · 2 June 2017, 03:45 AM

Depends really, do you want jewellery or a proper 'tool' watch? The Sub is bigger, has the ubiquitous cyclops and is obviously Rolex. the 'Dweller is a perfectly designed tool watch that is bullet-proof and flies under the radar. Kinda like the Bodybuilder versus Cage Fighter comparison...IMHO!

But, go with what sings to you.

This.

114060. I have owned the SD4k and currently own the 114060. In the past ( up till recently), I've stated that I prefer the SDC 4K for a number of reasons... but have since changed my mind. I now prefer the 114060.

I think it all depends on what is important to you.

SD4K pros IMO: greater water resistance/engineering, the raised crystal/vintage vibe and minute markers along the bezel, less common.

I like the 114060 better now only because it's a touch more comfortable ( not that the SD4K is uncomfortable) due to the lower weight and thinness...yet wears a little larger with the surface area of the watch face, including the dial, appearing larger due to it being thinner/flatter than the SD4k.

The differences in lug size on the models are neither here nor there with me. I like the thinner/smaller lugs of the SD4K...but I also like the fatter lugs of the 114060 which gives the Sub more of a "cushion case" look like the old vintage divers of the past from other brands.
