Not another which Diver looks better Thread...

Alright gentlemen...
Coming down to the wire ...
If you had to let the SD4K C go which would be the
best alternative until you would eventually and
hopefully get the anniversary SD50... ?

Sub ND 14060 ,
Sub C Date 116610 ,
Sub C ND 114060 or
Sub 16610 LN .... ???

Thanks for your input ...

Yes I’m trying to hold onto the SD4K C
But might need to let it go unfortunately...
So which will keep me the best company and
do the job until the SD50 down the road ... ?
7 inch wrist approximately...
All pics are mine with most next to my sd4k c
on my wrist for comparison... thanks guys !!!
ONLY THE SD4K IS MINE , the others are at a local jeweler.

If you want the SD50, why not just get the SD50? I don't understand the point of an interim watch.

Going through a rough patch and need to downsize
for a while... That’s why unfortunately...
Don’t know exactly how long but might be longer than
shorter and still need a nice daily SS diver .

I'm confused. Are you looking at buying an alternative to the SD4K, or are you asking which of the other watches you already own makes the best alternative?

Selling or possibly trading the SD4K and looking for an alternative.

I feel your pain. Might be whittling my collection down soon too.

Keep the 16610 LN

If you need to make some $ to hold you over then I would go for the 16610LN. Is there much difference in price between the Sea Deller and the ceramic sub date to make a difference?

$2200 to $2600 maybe $3000.
Much more for the 5 digit ... Sub date

Mario, I think the SD looks the best on you. If you have to move it, though, I think I would go with the 116610. It's a great watch, and seems to hold its value very well and hopefully will get you through this rough patch and into the SD43 down the road without hurting you too badly.

Hey, there's always the Daytona giveaway, right?

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I think if you're in a position where you have to sell a Rolex to get through a rough patch, buying a different Rolex isn't the best move. My honest opinion is you'd be better off keeping the cash from the SD4K and making the best use of it until you've recovered. There are plenty of functional watches in the $100 range that will do the job for you until you're back on your feet.

I am just simply asking which looks as good or better
than the sea dweller...

Well, then, 114060. Might as well change things up with a no date.

In your situation, though, I’d sell, pick up a “fun cheap” watch, and begin saving towards the SD50. I see little point in a “just because” watch. Just my 2 cents...

When I got the sd4k last year it was only temporarily
so I didn’t think it would last this long ...
I already have another cheap watch sitting .
I am leaning towards a Sub C ND though , thx ...

I don't understand what's going on here.
Best looking would probably be the 114060.
Other than that I'd rather keep the SD4K of all the choices posted, it offers the most complete package even against the SD43.

It’s complicated but yes I agree ...

If I let the 116600 go......out of your choices I would most certainly get the 14060....and it'd be a 2 liner in excellent condition.

Yeah ... I already have a Bluesy Sub C date ..
Anniversary watch isn’t going anywhere...
A ND would compliment very nicely.
The only question is now 5 of 6 digit and I know
this is a personal taste ... Although I’m so used
to a date function it’s not an easy decision.
They’re both very nice ...

Not to hijack, but where is the info on the daytona giveaway? I can't find anything on it.

You can't go back to aluminium from ceramic. Date or no date, it doesn't matter.

If you need to part with the SD I would go with 5 digit Sub Date the narrower lugs closer to your SD than the 6 digit. That said you may miss the Glidelock.
Alternatively you could get a pre owned Omega PO great watch and liberate more cash, if you buy it right it should hold its value pretty well until you can get another Rolex, plus you have the Bluesy anyway
Either way good luck and happy hunting

With these differences I’d be sure to get the ceramic sub. Seems worthwhile to go for the newer model when downsizing.

Been there, done that. Collections ebb and flow. They’ll be back one day

I'd vote SubC Date. It has more wrist presence than the 16610, and there's no loss of practical function: you still have a date feature, a Glidelock, a maxi dial, and a ceramic bezel insert.

I have been in the unfortunate situation as well. liquidating my watches in order to get through something. My collection has been downsized and rebuilt about 4 times so I completely understand your position as well as your desire to keep a SS rolex in the stable. Personally I would go for that 14060 2 line No Date as that would probably net you the most in a trade down and its a piece that will hold/gain value until its time to trade up again. all the best my friend
