please go for the SD, because if you guys keep pushing the 14060M, my chances of getting a decent pre-owned 14060M will become less

14060M

Cru Jones · 4 November 2011, 01:48 AM

as a "panerai guy", unless you are committed to trying something new (i.e., the "thin" 14060), i'd go SD. it'll be less of a "shock".

that being said, i enjoy flipping back and forth between my white 16570 and 44 luminor (164), so, depends on what you want.

in terms of which one to let go, PAM 243 (too much of a monster for me; i prefer the 24 for a PAM sub) or your rolex 15200.

my 2 line 14060m gets more wrist time ...
it goes from bracelet to nato in a moment, and is timeless.

Roley · 4 November 2011, 02:02 AM

If you have a small wrist...I would stick with the 14060M.

I've always preferred having the date function, but I bought a 14060, a few years ago, and couldn't be happier. The 14060 should save you a few bucks vs 16600, too.

SWIMPRUF · 4 November 2011, 02:09 AM

16600 ftw!

MP5 · 4 November 2011, 02:09 AM

I always get happy with a SD.

impalass · 4 November 2011, 02:32 AM

Due to an emergency I had to flip my 16610 a few years ago.

Apon retiring I could no longer live with out a Sub and decided the date was no longer needed.

Picked up a 14060 two years ago and it still gives me a $#!te eating smile every time I look at.

As close as one can get to vintage with out the bigger dollars and maintenance. For a Panerai owner the 14060 is strap friendly too.

Tough choice never the less,

OrangeSport · 4 November 2011, 07:31 AM

Well, I know which I chose recently...

toph · 4 November 2011, 08:27 AM

16600 all the way

Hkspwrsche · 4 November 2011, 10:10 AM

Sd.

Tomi55 · 4 November 2011, 12:36 PM

I am leaning more on the SD side so now let the watch hunting begin!! (it's where all the fun is!)
However, I think I will still get the 14060M after a few months, it's just matter of time. Both are awesome and must own in my book!

sleddog · 4 November 2011, 12:44 PM

Either or would make a great choice....Personaly, for me, the SD!!

aleiberman · 4 November 2011, 12:47 PM

14060m

warren G. · 4 November 2011, 01:06 PM

I vote for the SD. Here are some random pics.

dalip · 4 November 2011, 01:10 PM

I'd go SD also.

Andad · 4 November 2011, 06:10 PM

I wear my 14060M on a NATO 5 days a week and others at the weekend.

My SD is a favourite and now that it has been discontinued it is a bit better each passing day.

vrolok · 5 November 2011, 05:18 PM

Had both... Sub gone w/o regret but SD w/ lugholes is a keeper, no comparison!
Love Pam too!

snakwa · 5 November 2011, 09:29 PM

Go with the dweller it's definately the better of the two.

laphroaig007 · 6 November 2011, 12:34 AM

Both !!!
If your choice is your first Rolex, I'd say the classic Sub 14060M.

sea-dweller · 6 November 2011, 02:02 AM

16610 for me

Deep Sea · 6 November 2011, 02:37 AM

You'll end up with both before it is all over with, so start with the SD.

Understated elegance, yet great presence.

Actsulb · 6 November 2011, 02:56 AM

They are both great choices, but in my opinion the 14060M is the better option given it classic look with no date.

Double-V · 6 November 2011, 03:14 AM

To the OP- …SD is the way to go…

2 years latter Im now looking for a 14060M... But glad I got the SD First.

My wife gave me my first Rolex a (16600) as a wedding gift to me back in 2009. I originally wanted a 14060M but noticed the SD at the time was being discontinued. Im glad I jumped on the SD over the 14060M and never looked back.

Although BIG, The SD is one comfy watch. I have a wrist size of approx 6.75 just shy of 7 and I can wear it all day with out the slightest feel of it being heavy.

You wont be sorry with either but I say SD…

z32turbo · 6 November 2011, 03:17 AM

I'd go for the SD 16600.

Vaxe · 6 November 2011, 07:51 AM

I was once in a similar dilemma - but ultimately decided in favor of the 14060M.

Sure, the SD is the "best" modern diver - sorry DSSD fans! But I wanted rehaut, and I wanted to buy brand new with warranty under my name, even if it meant having non-SEL links and no date.

While it is true that it is somewhat inconvenient at times to pull out the cell phone and check the date, the 14060M is my daily watch.
In the future, I plan on acquiring a Sub-C. Wouldn't make much sense to have both a SD and a Sub-C, so I'm happy with my decision!

Gerardus · 6 November 2011, 07:58 AM

14060M for me.

HongNinja · 6 November 2011, 08:17 AM

Sea-Dweller without question. Not even close. SD is the ultimate Rolex tool/dive watch. The engineering and look are unmatched(until DSSD at least). I know many Rolex enthusiasts who consider the SeaDweller to be one of the best Rolex has ever done.

Having owned a Submariner before, I definitely prefer the SD. Get the Sub another time.

BlackAngel · 6 November 2011, 08:57 AM

16600 all the way, but if you can live without the date go for the 14060M. You can never go wrong with either of the two. Best is to try both watches and see which 1 sings the loudest.

buddy13 · 7 November 2011, 03:14 AM

I'd had both and kept the 14060M...

The SD does absolutely nothing better than the Sub apart from showing the date. I have plenty of those and I prefer the cleanliness of the no date...

I went for the 14060M since I dive in the watch a lot and for me it is more reliable.

- 2 less potential water intrusion sites (useless HRV on SD)
- More reliable movement having no date
- Drilled lugs for secure fitment on Nato and easy swaps
- Thinner so it catches onto things less

Good luck. You're a winner either way!
