SD4K all the way, the new subs design appears odd to me

I was in the same situation and seriously considered buying a 126610 and popping the cyclops off, if I hadn't had a DSSD before this I probably would have.

It was the matte dial, fully graduated bezel and the allure of the Sea Dweller line that swayed me to spend the extra bucks.

80 years is a long wait. The SD4K doesn't carry much weight at ADs. When I was trading watches with my AD, that and the 5 digit Exp II were the two watches that they totally low balled me on. It's a watch to own if you love it however. Sea Dwellers will always have less of a following than Subs.

Hmmm?

At mine it was HOT.

Saw one CPO, thought about it for the evening, returned next day and it was GONE!

AD said the astute local collectors had �� on it from the get-go.

I was able to try it on before it was sold and fell in love immediately. Perfect size, just this tiny little bomb of a reference which seemingly does everything.
I agree, Sea-Dwellers will always have less of a following than Subs: Sub one of top 3 most produced watch and is a must-have among Rolex neophytes.
However, SD4K is a niche reference and appeals to more seasoned Rolex dive watch aficionados IMO.

I have an older 5513 sub anyway.
