baltic Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 Hmm, try both and see what appeals. I (who knows nowt abour Rollies) would go for the Seadweller - less common. What about a no-date sub?
alligoat Posted November 20, 2006 Report Posted November 20, 2006 It's always good to know that whichever watch you choose, you'll be covered in the event of SPILLAGE at Starbucks. What I do like about the SD is the 4000ft=way too deep for mere mortals. I went down 90 feet this summer and next summer, I may try for 120! No helium for this boy.
Martyd3 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Posted November 20, 2006 I pulled the trigger on a mint Y serial SD. I just couldn't justify the Sub. I went in to my local Rolex AD this afternoon to try on the SD. I laid my unmodded (except for the bracelet which gone over and the bezel insert realigned) EL Sub on the counter and the guy never batted an eye. I even held next to the SD to see how much thicker the case was. I almost crapped when he picked it up and put it a nice velvet pad for me. His only question was if I was going to keep it or sell it? My question is why would I want to buy what I already seem to have???
Guest chronomat123 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Posted November 21, 2006 SEADWELLER !!!!!!!!!! Looks much cooler on the wrist, not to mention it's bomb-proof, and not so common. Besides, you can get a very convincing rep of the Submariner-- but not so much of the 'Dweller. I've own a gen GMT right now and have had gen TT Sub, SS Sub, Exp 2, Exp 1 , Datejusts, and a 6694. Of all of those, as nice as they were, I have still found the SeaDweller to be my fav. When I get out of school and start making good money, that's the first thing on my list. Good luck with your quest. Best, Eric
