PS: Did you go to the Hyde Park event today?
Thanks Mike! I did not attend the event at Hyde Park on Friday, but I understand that it runs through today, so I may be able to swing by this afternoon. Did you go? What did you think?

Better yet, it turns out that all my concerns about the additional weight and height affecting the wearing comfort were completely unfounded. I actually think my new SD is MORE comfortable than my 14060M. It just seems better balanced and it will make a phenomenal daily-wearer.
I agree....The weight is a non issue at all!!
It has a solid feel to it and is great for everyday wear....Enjoy it like I do!

Now when is the first dive??

The SD

Great pic!

I too just bought my SD on 9-30-10. My first Rolex. I had a choice between the SD and the new Sub (ceramic dial). Well until I put the SD on my wrist and the guy next to me bought the Sub. It was just meant to be.

Would I be correct to say the SD is a now a classic?

How can I tell the the series "M"?

Thanks Tuffstang! If you purchased yours BNIB then it may be a V-Series which followed the M-Series. The watches are identical. If you look at your warranty card, the Serial would be the first letter of the Serial number. Otherwise, you can always pull the bracelet off the six o'clock side and the serial number will be between the lugs.

Thanks! That W Series is a real beauty. I love the T25 dials. I have a Flat-S T25 dial on my 16613 Submariner and think it gives it a very unique appeal.

I did exactly the same and once I bought my second SD after selling the first, I've enjoyed it tremendously.

Hello guys, I'm new to the forum. Charles, that is a truly great looking time piece! Congrats! I have a D 16610 and love it! I only wish had an anti-reflective coating on my cyclops eye. That is the only feature I like on the new Sub C.

Thanks JJ! I appreciate it. In addition to acquiring the new Sea Dweller, I also put my 14060M on NATO this week. I am just glad that you stumbled on this picture first! Haha

Great minds think alike. I also have a Blue TT and a SS Submariner, so we have some similar pieces in our collection. The Sea Dweller is a must have.

Thanks right back to you

I'm thinking these T25s dialed Rolexes will be worth more than the standard models when we've completed our missions here... and the kids get 'em, no?
