Talk me off the ledge........

[Rolexitis]

Ok, so you know I have made a deposit on a DSSD and it is waiting for me, but I have a small issue. I keep going back to the 116610LN and even more to the Expy II polar! Am I crazy?

I'm not a 1 watch person, but this one will get 95% wrist time and only switch out when I'm doing yard work or really beating around. Went o another AD today o look at rings or the wife and also got to look at the above choices again. Dang does that DSSD look good...BUT that white explorer just looks....so....tempting! I hate decisions. And no, I can't have both.

Edit: this is important so let me add this: if I do go with the subc or explorer, I can save that extra 3,000 and take the kids to Disney this year, or go towards the ring for the wife. Argh!

All three are great choices. I'd tend to gravitate to the ceramic bezels because scratches on the finely brushed ExpII bezel would drive me nuts (ended up switching a 40mm ExpII for an LVc), but, if you don't have that OCD, any would be fine.

[Rolexitis]

I want to stick with the DSSD, and don't want to regret not getting it because the price will only continue to climb. I just have a watch problem...haha. This place is my therapy.

116610LN and take kids to Disney! Priorities are priorities. Besides I prefer the 116610LN over the DSSD.

Good luck!

x2.

Sub + Disney

Then save/wait for the Exp II

If your bonus is better than expected then that's, well, a bonus...

[Thatguy]

But how do they feel on you wrist?

This is all I needed to read... Forget the DeepSea and get the Sub! I prefer my 216570 Noir over my 116610LV, however, think you will enjoy the Submariner more!

Fully agree, make the memory at Disney with your sub and more importantly your family!

This is what I have kinda been thinking. I had to sell my 16610 a couple years ago to pay some bills and have missed the sub terribly. The new sub c is just beautiful. I'm positive I would be happy with the sub for the long haul. I have also recently had concerns about the thickness of the DSSD. I really don't like TOO much attention drawn to me.

Dssd

[Rolexitis]

I'm really glad I've had all this time to think about this purchase. I think it's the right thing to do to let the AD know my plans, so he doesn't keep the DSSD out of display for someone else if this is what I decide.

Another great reason to get a Sub. If you want something a bit more out there go for a Hulk.

The DSSD is quite noticeable in person, it is insanely thick (for a Rolex)

The Sub is comfortable, understated and cheaper! Get it and enjoy Mickey & Minnie!

If you dont want to draw attention - dont buy the DSSD. Sub and Disney and or ring sounds like a great family solution. Or consider a preowned GMT-C from a trusted TRF seller like David SW for approx $6500 that looks brand new?????

May do that because just got bonus info tonight and its half what I hoped to get. Believe it or not, I'm actually looking at the GMTIIc pretty hard the last couple days. I've ruled out Expy at this point. I like the fact that I can get the added complications with the "sub" look and also not see as many in the wild. I don't care so much about the pcl's, because my Breitling has always had polished links. I kinda like the look and don't care about scratches. I'm getting it to wear.

Logic speaks and Sam is a wise man. Not only that, but your heart is telling you no to the DS even if the trip weren't part of the picture. Get the Sub or Explorer. You will be happier in the long run, I can tell by your hesitation.

[Wllnv19]

Get the Sub you won't be disappointed

Always room for one more!

[DRKBC]

I think if you can wear the DSSD go for it, my wrist is too small but if I could I would! I think it is such an incredible technical achievement and a stunning watch.

[jcclx1]

Love my Explorer II Polar FWIW. Good Luck.

I think you need a "take a number" for the ledge.

This was my sub. I waited 10 years to get it and sold it after 18 months or so. Sad day.

As you can see, I could wear a bigger case Bc my wrists are flat. I think the sub fit just right though.

[jakologo]

I have gone through quite a few watches in the past 3 years (and kept quite a few) but my everday daily wearer rotation has boiled down to Polar EXP 42 and Sub-c LN. Both offer great looks, comfort and easy readability. Good luck.

[DrLindaPhD]

Go back to the AD. Bring cash. Tell him you want the studs and the Explorer. Try to get him down close the price of the Explorer (for both) and bring cash. It talks. Then, take the difference and bring the family to Disney - win/win/win ! ! !

Cash negotiates.
