great shot & equally classic watch… the two are only different, not better or worse.

Understandable to most people but probably not on this forum were every tiny difference in a watch is like a new planet was discovered!

Wesley Crusher · 5 May 2014, 05:31 AM

Luckily, we have a ton of options. Sub, Sub Date, SD, DSSD. There is something for everybody.

CJM89 · 5 May 2014, 05:57 AM

That is the quintessential dive watch. The one that really started them all.

artschool · 5 May 2014, 06:01 AM

I have a nd sub c and a new SDc.

Going to keep them both because I don't want to part with the submariner.

AK797 · 5 May 2014, 08:20 AM

Lets have a gold SDc for the subc owners. Come on Dufour!

There's no such thing as a substitute for a classic or new SD 4000.....

Amen, brother!

To the OP: that Sub of yours is a beauty. I wouldn't consider it a substitute for anything.

14060m · 5 May 2014, 10:13 AM

Every collection should have a sub and SD4000

lmcgbaj · 5 May 2014, 10:39 AM

You have an excellent substitute. I like it better myself.

Correct Tom

We need to move forward

Unless you're into saturation diving, your Sub should serve you well.

Haha, right on Tom.
Remember the date magnification variance concerns between the GMT2 an Sub date, and only but here could I ever witness folks arguing over whether it's Submahriner or Submeeriner or Submareener, sigh.

I think the 114060 is "THEE" benchmark Rolex diver and every other one builds on its foundation. I'd feel very fortunate to own it if I could but I can't have them all so just like you op I just pick the ones that suit my needs accordingly.
The 114060 has one quality very few Rolex have, elegant simplicity and symmetrical beauty.

thomaspp · 5 May 2014, 12:35 PM

Nice!

Any side by side pics? It appears the sdc is smaller?

The 114060 may be my next purchase

Yes

I started with DSSD, and have always disliked the blocky lugs...

However, I tried a 114060 yesterday, and wow, it was NICE

Yes it's smaller than DSSD and 216570, but somehow with the lack of cyclops, it didn't feel so blocky... and it was just so clean!

Robbyman · 5 May 2014, 06:00 PM

The new SD is a great compliment to the 114060. Many differences. I wouldn't want to part with the Sub.
