ready to purchase my first rolex, can't make up my mind between these two, what do you guys think?

PenDelicate · 2 February 2023, 06:27 PM

I'm just a plain-ol' Sub-guy.
Simply the best.

Little machines · 2 February 2023, 07:22 PM

Both of those watches are great but I would lean towards the sea dweller! Good luck!

I own a 16600 and love the more substantial case and cleaner crystal without the cyclops. An excellent option.

The SD is cooler.

1William · 2 February 2023, 10:15 PM

The SD.

TheWatchmen · 2 February 2023, 11:02 PM

Between those two I’d pick the SD, but would 100% go with the one that is most comfortable on your wrist.

Tridor · 2 February 2023, 11:07 PM

Sub.

Sea Dweller

brandrea · 2 February 2023, 11:08 PM

Welcome to the forum.

Have you tried them on your wrist? I love the SD most but it will wear a bit more top heavy than the Submariner

tifosi · 2 February 2023, 11:12 PM

I prefer the SeaDweller of the two, but it all depends on your use case. Sometimes the SD can be a little thick depending on the situation you are trying to wear it.

The Sub on the other hand....you could leave it on for the rest of your life and never need another watch.

AF_Rob · 2 February 2023, 11:47 PM

I'd go with the SD. The dial and pearl have aged gracefully together. The Sub dial seems replaced... I'm no expert, FYI.

SD for me.

the dark knight · 4 February 2023, 07:08 AM

I'm in the minority but I'm not a huge fan of these 5-digits without the cyclops. Dial space feels empty without it. So I'd go Sub, easily.

tgyberg · 4 February 2023, 07:20 AM

I stood at an AD way back when holding both brand new. I went with the Sub and that was fine. If I had it to do over, I'd grab the SD!

jb335 · 4 February 2023, 07:25 AM

That SD looks more interesting.
