Most on this forum are aware of all the changes but I've seen sellers charging the same price for a SS clasp model as a full gold center link one and the latter one is obviously more valuable.

Correct but I have the latest ceramic version so the
steel clasp isn’t in question...

I guess I’m entertaining it cause it’s discontinued and it does
Look sharp ...

i like two TT watches: the submariner blue and the patek nautilus chrono 5980AR. those two are spectacular and why people diss TT beats me.

Gerry62 · 1 March 2018, 10:12 PM

ciao Mario

I have loved and had the tt blue for over a year

then sold for a deepsea.
I do not really like it the SD4K i prefer the Deep blue or black
difficult choice ....... but ..... both are winners

yesterday

today

superstarmar · 19 March 2018, 04:24 AM

Ok... here they are both side by side !!!
One will have to go pretty soon unfortunately!!!
SD4K discontinued and already a collectors piece ...
Bluesy Sub C , an iconic just plain gorgeous watch !!!
Which one should I keep as an only one ?
Both wear phenomenal and I love both !
Only way to keep both is hitting the Lottery...

Dr Greenthumb · 19 March 2018, 04:31 AM

All other factors aside, the pic says it all... Bluesy Sub

Keep the SD4K, I've only seen prices going up on that one (also I just prefer it, it's gorgeous). You will be able to offload the Bluesy quick at no loss.

You’re not making it easier to decide...

mistermann · 19 March 2018, 07:39 AM

I had the blue, most beautiful one I've owned but couldn't work daily for me. Sd4k is a wonderful daily. Contemplating adding the 116613 or hulk for a 2nd now that I can afford 2.

limenko · 19 March 2018, 08:34 AM

I love the TT dial and bezel colour but I just can't pull off yellow gold so my choice is SD4k.

Best of luck with your decision!

Which blue dial watch did you have if your contemplating adding
the 116613 ? Did you flip the Bluesy and are wanting it back ?
Also what’s your daily driver now ?

mistermann · 19 March 2018, 08:53 AM

My history... subC 1st, got bored with it then flipped to sunburst ceramic blue sub. Shortest time I've owned a Rolex, month or 2. Would be an amazing 2nd watch but daily didn't work at all. Flipped blue for Cameron. Too big, I was trying to find my perfect watch. Flipped Cameron for sub again and couldn't learn to love the square lugs. Tried on sd4k at ad last summer and fell in love. I was just trying to find my sweet spot, 4k is the right choice and you know it. Add the bluesy in the future they'll be around a long time.

Kinda what I’m leaning towards ... Had the Bluesy for
Almost 3 yrs. Part of collection on and off and daily
for awhile in between...

116613LB every day! It is the watch that you love!

Yes I do love it ... it’s been a daily on and off mixed
with my former BLNR, T- BB Noir ETA, TT Sub Black 5 digit
and now on rotation with SD4K C... but since I got the
Sea Dweller the Bluesy been only my dress watch for the
most part ...

Byrdguy · 20 March 2018, 12:11 AM

I say the Bluesy. I have never understood the love for the SDs. They look like black Subs.

soran · 20 March 2018, 12:19 AM

The SD4000. I'm not a fan of two tone

It’s become a litte too flashy as of late ...

Wearing the SD4K has toned me down ...
Not that I still don’t like the Bluesy I’m just not sure
I’d wear it daily or after awhile want another SS diver
should I move the sea dweller and keep the Bluesy!!!

gaeleus · 20 March 2018, 03:05 PM

Hi, I love both! Bluesy is iconic and beautiful! That said, I’ll take the sd4k. It is a future collectible. If you cans find one, get it! I love mine. You can always get Blusey later. Sd4k its awesome!

Devildog · 20 March 2018, 06:24 PM

SD4K for sure Mario.

It’s only going up in value. Your 116613 is only going down.

You’re considering this for financial reasons and financially, keeping the SD makes sense. You can probably swap it for a brand new LB in a few years if you chose to swap back. Try doing that in reverse if you sell the SD now.

Practically the SD makes sense too. Looks great on you too.

But go with what your heart tells you

Thanks Scott ... appreciate it !!!
That’s what I’m leaning towards.
My mind says keep the SD4K and I do truly enjoy it !!!
My heart says keep the Bluesy but really both ...

I’ll keep you posted ... Love your SD43, maybe I’ll see one
IRL soon enough , still haven’t laid eyes upon one yet ...

Maybe a picture of the bluesy would help. But if this is the way it is in your mind then the decision seems to already have been made. The SD4K has the collectability thing going for it as well.
