What other Rolex and Pams do you have?
The new SD is a great piece. The 523 as well. I like that it's 44mm and not 47. |

You really think the responses will be neutral because you posted this in the open discussion forum?
 I suggest you buy neither watch until you can make up your own mind. Something tells me that until you do, no matter which one you bought you'll end up wishing you had purchased the other one.

Am I missing something here?
If I've understood the OP correctly, he's asking for an opinion on the choice between a 17 year old Sea-Dweller with no papers and a new Pam 523 (I take it 'complete' means with box and papers?).If that's correct, then to me it's a no-brainer. If you genuinely like both watches and whichever one you chose would get some wrist time, then why pick an old watch with no history (by this I mean service records, etc.) when you can get a brand new one for the same money? If you really want an older Sea-Dweller, then pay a bit more for one that's complete.
