Sorry maybe it's double post. Which one get more like or respect :)). between these 2 for daily wear.

Thank you.

Which one do you like or respect more? That's all that matters.

X2. But since you asked about like, for me it's the Submariner.

Agreed. The tech specs will be known to you and not many around you. Which do "you like better" is the real key. I have never been a fan of the cyclops and to me Subs were more common, which made the SD stand out as more unique to me.

luvsub · 11 October 2013, 06:35 AM

subc

CWIN · 11 October 2013, 07:19 AM

It depends on what you like. I stuggled with this choice too because I love them both. If money were no object I'd get the pair. But since that's definitely not the case for me, I had to choose one and so I went the the Submariner. No regrets here.

A pic before I had her sized...

nauticajoe · 11 October 2013, 07:24 AM

SD for me.

Good luck!

Jack T · 11 October 2013, 07:43 AM

Dive watches are like SUV's - much more than any person needs, rarely called upon to do what they were built for.
That said, do you want a Tahoe/Cherokee/X5 or a Hummer ?

CDNWatchNut · 11 October 2013, 08:13 AM

I'd rather have an old school SeaDweller than a SubC. Nothing to do with respect, I just prefer the SD.

patnmand · 11 October 2013, 08:42 AM

Buy the watch that sings to you. SubC is classic Rolex and I suspect more people will recognise the Sub, but if it doesn't give you joy when you see it on your wrist then it is not the watch for you.

subtona · 11 October 2013, 08:57 AM

No wrong answer, but for me SD.

Bangel · 11 October 2013, 08:58 AM

For daily wear the sub c has the convenient adjustability of the glidelock clasp.

Go with whichever one you like best.

I think the vast majority of the general population would be hard pressed to tell the difference between them anyway, let alone draw inferences about "respect."

S52 · 11 October 2013, 09:06 AM

For me I'd take the SD... (might be a little biased as I own one)

I prefer the older style bezel, and I have seen many Subs new and old in the wild, but never another SD... so thats my pick!

Also like the over-engineering with the higher depth rating and helium valve... even though I will never use the features, I love knowing they are there

psv · 11 October 2013, 09:17 AM

You don't pedestrian, Heru so go with SD! :-)

Hairdude1 · 11 October 2013, 12:27 PM

I say Sea dweller

Tooomey · 11 October 2013, 12:33 PM

Sub

datejust24 · 11 October 2013, 12:48 PM

Sea Dweller for sure

mdtddd2007 · 11 October 2013, 12:51 PM

SD no ?

Le Chef · 11 October 2013, 12:57 PM

This sounds like an Ali G question to me. If you believe you need a particular watch to get respect from other people I would suggest spending the money on a psychiatrist before you buy a watch.

ferrissteve11 · 11 October 2013, 01:04 PM

I like the SUV model analogy.....if you want a Hummer (classic version NOT H3 or watered down version) go with the DSSD. The key with the DSSD is getting it sized appropriately for your wrist. I had the divers extension removed and now I wear it daily. The DSSD has many of the features I was looking for and wanting in a watch, domed sapphire, maxi/matte dial, and the glidelock clasp for easy size adjusting. So IMO the DSSD is the way to go.

polarinda · 11 October 2013, 03:45 PM

There are are many different subs but only one sd. Go figure.

psv · 11 October 2013, 03:49 PM

I don't get the DSSD isa Hummer analogy as it is an insult to the Rolex. The DSSD is over-engineered but actually remarkably compact when you consider the specs. Sure, it is not the ideal one-and-only watch IMO, and of course it is an overkill but I view it more as a testimony to what we humans are capable of and a celebration of extreme exploration and never-dying curiosity. It is like no other production Rolex.

Sometimes you just have to stop over-rationalizing decisions and go with what puts a smile on your face. :-)

MisterStefan · 11 October 2013, 04:34 PM

Go with the one you prefer/like the best.
I vote for the Sub C.

travisb · 11 October 2013, 07:18 PM

Win / Win.
I like the SubC slightly more because I prefer the ceramic bezel and glidelock clasp.
Are you thinking 114060, or 116610?

SALTY · 11 October 2013, 09:03 PM

The Glidelock clasp and the cyclops (if your eyes are over 50) sways me towards the Sub-C but, as stated by others above, the SD is more unique and not as ubiquitous in the wild.

That said, you have to get the one that sings to you.

DennisJ · 11 October 2013, 11:28 PM

...sorry, Sub or SD pre ceramic...

Just to clarify, SD pre ceramic means SD and DSSD is out

Cc1966 · 11 October 2013, 11:30 PM

The SD is a major tool watch - much respect.
