16600 or 114060?
Hi all, I'm considering flipping my 39mm Explorer I for either of these 2 watches. I love the Explorer but think I would enjoy wearing a Sea Dweller or no date Sub better. I have a SS Daytona, 16610 Sub, and 16710 GMT but yet to have a ceramic bezel which is what draws me to the 114060. That with the improved clasp that I have on the Explorer and heftier lugs. I do really like the Sea Dweller though and think it has such a great story and history behind it. So?

I'd personally flip the older sub and get the newer sub's that way I can keep the exp and have every verity I wanted but that's just me and it is what I did
But if I was u I'd recommend the dssd u seem pretty interested in it And u already have a sub Also the dssd may look similar to the sub but for me they look and feel entirely different |

Get the Sub. Once you do, you'll know you made the right choice.

Sub since you're leaning toward a ceramic bezel.

The new ceramic Sub is a great watch, but you already have a Sub, and a GMT. If it were me, I'd flip the older Sub, get the Subc. I have a hard time giving up an Explorer, with its versatility, simplicity and updates.

I would get the SD 16600 or the SDc since you have a 16610 already.

Sell your old Sub and buy the SDC 116600.
That way you have the SD and the C.

I just sold my 2008 16610 and purchased a 114060 this week. I can't tell you how much I love the 114060. Go for the SubC!

Well, if you "love" the 39mm Explorer and flipping it for something that you think you might like, there is a risk there that you may not like the dive watches and would want the Explorer back ... I'm just saying.
