Introducing my new SD!
My GMT 16750 has been gone for almost a week and I've been wearing my SD for a couple of days now. I love it!
![]() ![]() ![]() I loved my GMT, but I made the mistake of taking a trip to the AD to look at some of the newer models. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, I decided to make a change and trade the GMT for a 2001 SD!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Here she is! ![]() ![]()

I love mine! I have an LV and thought that I wouldn't want an SD, but I am very pleased with it, especially on the RHD Carbonio strap and DF deployant. I posted a photo I think.

I can understand you going for the SD and the current model. The GMT 16750 is a very nice watch and no doubt you can get a vintage GMT again if you wish. Probably the most solidly constructed Rolex in production, it does have a great deal of presence. I expect it will be a little heavier on the wrist than the GMT, but you will get used to that pretty quickly. I'll be interested to hear how it feels.
Congrats! |

![]() The SD is suprisingly comfortable - every bit as comfortable as the 16750. It's certainly heavier than the 16750, but I'm used to carrying around heavy things ![]()

Thanks for your kind words. The SD is very well balanced, and the SEL bracelet adds to the solid feel. I have the 1665 which is an earlier model of the SD and appreciate what you say about the SD being comfortable despite it being slightly heavier than the GMT. However, the new supercase GMTII in TT may well be heavier than the SD.

Good looking watch, welcome to the club. I love my SD and I'm selling off my other non-important watches.

I think you're right. I tried the new GMT on a few months ago and couldn't believe how heavy and large it was. I suppose I would consider the new GMT my "dream watch".

Way to go Jeff! I picked up a D Series Sea-Dweller myself yesterday!
But please, don't tell the guys on the IWC forum of TZ. I swapped my IWC Steel Automatic Ingenieur for it!
I loved the Ingenieur but the the Sea-Dweller had more pull for me! So, now I've got the 1680 White Submariner, the 114270 Explorer and the big Sea-Dweller! I think I'm well covered now! I hope you're enjoying your Sea-Dweller as much as I'm enjoying mine! Kind regards Chris in Melbourne |

Yes JJ, the Steel Inge is a beauty but being a family man, I know, I just can't have everything!

Here's my SeaDweller with a GMT ring...
![]() Here's my SeaDweller (Z series) with a GMT bezel insert laid over the top so show how much smaller the SeaDweller's face in comparison with Sub's/GMT's. I am working on a SeaDweller comparison/review and will post shortly. -Sheldon |

Thanks Stephen! You are oh so right about the magnetism of the Sea-Dweller!
When I heard it call it sounded to me like 'Fix Bayonets & Charge!' I just had to instantly obey! Kind regards... Chris |
