Okay, this is my dilemma , I am 36 years old and I want to buy my one and only Rolex. Monday – Friday I wear jeans and t-shirt to work, so I like to buy a sports model. I like YM Platinum, I like SS Sub, but I love the SD (not a fan of DSSD). Please tell me it’s okay to buy an SD over SS Sub or YM platinum even though I will NEVER go diving.

Why Not?

new2rolex · 9 January 2010, 02:41 AM

lol that's all I wanted to hear.

wgs · 9 January 2010, 02:41 AM

Absolutely!!! If you love the SD, get it.

smallcandle · 9 January 2010, 02:44 AM

If the SD calls to you, get it. You won't have any regrets!

Hi Jason, welcome and of course it is OKAY to wear the SD over any other Rolexes if SD smiles back at you after trying it.

Re: will never go diving, dont worry, probably about 95% of the existing SD/Sub/DSSD owners will never go diving. (maybe even more....)

try them all and decide for yourself

good luck

Black and crome Sub no date!

PhilM · 9 January 2010, 02:52 AM

Another vote for the SD, it really is a fantastic watch

TattooedGQ · 9 January 2010, 02:53 AM

I love my Milgauss, and I don't go anywhere near high magnetic fields..but i do swim/snorkel etc with my Sub......

new2rolex · 9 January 2010, 02:55 AM

Thank you all for the replies. There's one 2008 M series left at the AD and the last time when I bought a SS sub as a gift for someone else, the AD gave me a 17% discount. Hopefully I will get lucky and get the same kind of discount this time around. MSRP on the SD is $6200

If you never go diving as you say mate then I would get the YM.

Fantastic watch. Dresses down as easily as it does up. Que JJ with his trademark YM pic.

VetteBandit · 9 January 2010, 03:12 AM

Go for it. You should get the watch that you love, not the watch other people love. Personally I think the SD is great and would be fine for t-shirt/jeans or business.

Let us know what happens!

kcmo · 9 January 2010, 04:01 AM

If the SD 'sings' then by all means go for it!

JUSTROLEXES · 9 January 2010, 04:05 AM

Go for it Jason, there is nothing wrong with the SD and it is a great everyday watch, not as flashhhy as the Yachtmaster and about the same as the Sub. Follow your HEART.

hah hah and let up know

Gerardus · 9 January 2010, 04:18 AM

Yeah I agreeeee

I wore an SD for many years - great watch - with one drawback as an "only Rolex" it stands quite proud off the wrist and can interfere with some shirt cuffs. The Sub always fits under a shirt (and looks good with a tuxedo or jeans)

TSW · 9 January 2010, 06:42 AM

Go for it!! The SD looks great.

crazycarlitos · 9 January 2010, 06:56 AM

This has been my experience with the SD. Rarely does the SD fit under the cuff of an off the shelf dress shirt. But then again, for another $500 bucks you could buy a weeks worth of custom dress shirts with the cuff totally bespoked for your new SD! Or...roll up your cuffs...it makes you look like you're working harder!

Cheers and enjoy what ever you buy!
