Sea-Dweller 4k without question. It was the ideal modern Sub, but apparently audiences weren't interested.

Depends how much funds you want to free up?

Obv's you will release more by selling the BLNR due to its higher secondary value.

Not sure you'd get as much spare cash by selling both & buying an SD4K

What's your budget for the SD?

Saw one recently advertised at £11k!

In your case I would keep both. It's a great combo with ND and BLNR, they have sentimental value to you and money is always lost in trades.

In my case I went SD4K due to case shape and smaller numbers on bezel plus no cyclop but with date.

Sub for me, don’t really care for the other two so much. I don’t need a GMT function nor like the blue/black color combo that much, I like the timing bezel, and prefer the dimensions of the Sub. Plus Glidelock....I really like Glidelock.

I would look to other sources to attempt to get more funds into the budget. Once gone you will pay more to bring one back and once the funds are spent then they are gone also.

I own two of the three - Sub ND and SD4k. If you set aside any sentimental value, my favorite is the SD4k. The SD4k has some heft to it for the size that I think is special. I also personally don't like the cyclops. If you like the cyclops, I could see why many would prefer the BLNR.

Wow, absolutely blown away by all your comments.

Looks like the BLNR is the one to keep and I think I’ll let my SubC ND go for now!

Not going to be easy but sure would be easier to replace price wise, not to even mention the sentimentality of the BLNR.

Other than Watchfinder in the UK, anyone got any recommendations? Cheers, Niki

Think you made the right choice, even though the Sub is a great watch. Why not try selling it through the forums? Will almost certainly get a better price than through Watchfinder etc. who squeeze consumers on both sides

Literally the reason I sought out the BLNR: jack-of-all-trades perfection IMO.

UPDATE: SD4K now in my possession!

Despite the over ridding recommendation to keep the BLNR, I am now very happily wearing a 116600 and have parted with both myBLNR and SubC! Not an easy decision but feel very happy with the Sea Dweller. Proportion wise it fits me better and it also suits my lifestyle and more reserved style better than the BLNR...



No doubt the BLNR, or possibly the new Pepsi, will come down the line, as we all know things rarely stay stationary in this game

Appreciate everyone’s input but ultimately I had to go with what felt right to me here.

Having owned all 3 and still have 2 out of the 3 (SD4k and BLNR) you couldn't go wrong with either one. SD4k is a fantastic watch and I love mine.
