Please help me decide my perfect diver combo
Hi guys, These are my only Rolex watches, both are great but IMO way too similar on my 7.50" - 7.75" wrist. A visit to DavidSW is due by the end of the month. How do I fix fix this? Thanks
1) SD43 / D-Blue 2) SD43 / TT SD43 3) DSSD Black / D-Blue 4) DSSD Black / TT SD43 5) SD43 and save some money |

#4 brings most variety/difference IMO

My three divers are SD43 , D-Blue and Pelagos LHD . They all feel very different to me and I appreciate their qualities. So I would go #1 , two fantastic watches.

I'm in the option "3" camp.
That's because it's where I've landed and settled in the Rolex component of my collection. Both 116660's, done and dusted Anything that works for you is best, as it may well vary over time anyway, so flexibility is the key. It's not the destination, but the journey |

Thanks for your inputs, one thing I forget to tell is that I can only wear my watches inside the house or in secure places, sometimes outside hidden under my scuffs. I wouldnt dare to flash a Rolex on the streets, My arm would get chopped. Pretty scary on this part of the world since the last couple of years. So one Rolex diver, option 5 makes a lot of sense to me. Sad but true.

#1 or #5. Based on what you are saying re safety, you are by necessity a collector/owner more than you are a user. If you were a user and you just needed a watch to walk around in, it would be #5 for sure, but as a collector, whether by choice or by constraint, it’s not about what’s of use, but about what is worthy of collecting and admiring. On that basis, I come down on the side of #1.

Given what you have said, I'd possibly change to a Rolex which is a little less shouty and in your face. I mean, it's pretty hard to hide a sea dweller no matter what type!
Maybe a ND submariner, you still get that great divers look less the size and cyclops which is a major give away that you are wearing a Rolex. |
