I am new and on the hunt for my first Rolex. No other watches appeal to me! I would like either a Sub or Sea Dweller. Just putting the funds together now....

great to be here! Lots of great info....

SD or Sub date, can't go wrong with either. Make sure you go to a local AD and try both before you decide since the SD hits higher than the Sub.

Hey Dave, welcome!

Both are great pieces. Good luck on the decision.

Welcome knuckles

Enjoy the hunt. That's half the thrill

knuckleduster · 23 June 2007, 09:44 AM

Thanks Fellas! I'll keep reading and shopping.....

Any suggetions for an AD in Calgary? Prices here are getting higher than some other places in western Canada.

AB is currently booming!!! Prices of housing and everything else is skyrocketing.

Call RDV and see what pricing they have for you... perhaps they can mail out to you.

Hi Dave!

Both the SD and the Sub Date are nice classics, but what to buy is a matter of personal preference.

I for my part would probably go for the Sub Date since it is a better fit on an every day basis.

But then again I like the chunky looks of the SD. I do have a 7½ " wrist (that is the "recommended wrist size if you consider buying an SD), but still, I like the Sub Date better.

If you do a search for SD + Sub Date, you will be able to find / read a LOT of threads / post about what to buy.

But if it is possible, the BEST thing is to go to an AD and try them both on (one at a time, that is

).

The one that REALLY smiles back at ya, is the one you should buy!

Anyway:
