Sea Dweller or no?

I have been offered a new Sea Dweller by my AD. I already have the Sub no date 116040 and a DJ41 and a new Cerachrome Daytona with white dial. I want a GMT Master II and a DD40. Any point in getting the Sea Dweller?

I'd probably say no, since it sounds like you have others on your list ahead of it

if it's not a watch you want, no need to get it :)

I have one (SD4K) and i love it. But it's also what i wanted.

If your heart is on GMT and DD, then wait on those.

I had the SD4K and it is a nice watch but it didn't sing to me.

If you're wanting a GMT and DD then it's a no.

Absolutely. Why waste a bunch of wedge on a watch you don't really want.

Thanks for all of the wise advice! So then which GMT II is the one to get?? I've had the BLNR and didn't care for it. It's down to the gold/steel with black dial or the plain 116710LN.

I already have the rose gold/steel DJ41. Maybe two multi-tone watches is too much? The GMT would be my daily watch. And I do plan on the yellow gold DD40 at some point.

Maybe try the LN, if it’s for daily wear then the all black with a subtle hint of green may work well for you.

Good point! I had the bluesy Sub and found it a bit flashy.

No point in buying a Sea-Dweller if you want a GMT Master II and a DD40.

If you are a big guy and want to venture into 43mm watches for better fit, then you should look into it. But you seem to have a couple of other preferred ones in your list so stick with them.

So...a YG DD40 and a BLRO then? Perfect pair.
