I must say I feel better, I was never a great fan of it however it grew on me, but something was not quite right.

I got sucked into the perceived rarity of the piece and my wife and I decided last year to get the LV because it was our 10th Anniversary. Anniversary watch for an Anniversary. I never felt totally satisfied with it (green is just not my thing), so now the game is on, I've always wanted a dweller, but my wrist is a touch on the small side between 71/4 and 71/2 inch, from what I've read people in that range struggle a bit with the dweller.

I love my dad's hand me down 5513 and after reading Nicolas's info on the Sub no date, maybe I'm onto something.

I just Happen to be going to Sydney this month, and Mr Hacko is also in Sydney and he just happens to have a couple of Sub no dates on his web site.

I think I might drop in for a chat.....................Mr Hacko are you there?

Don't feel bad, I flipped my LV for a SD as well.

Things I like better about the SD. Smaller dial. Thicker case fits wrist better. No Cylcops, is different. Built like a tank. See many people wearing Subs or fakes or knockoffs so nice to have something a little different. With your wrist size you will have no problem. If you want the option to play around with the fit, or if it is a little large, you can always have an AD or watch repairer remove an additional link on the 6 oclock side. The AD has a lot different appearance than the Sub. Also find the larger bezel on the SD easier to get a hold of when wet or wearing gloves, and I use the bezel several times a day for timing. I also have a Sub ND, and love that as well. Little thinner and smaller in diameter than the Sub Date. Gives nice uniform dial appearance. And real long history. But, I do like having a date feature on a watch. The one thing I liked better on the LV though, was the larger minute hand. If I could get that put on my Sd I would be happy.

Congrats for your SD and there's nothing to think abt LV as SD is a gr8 watch.
As leopardprey said undoubtedly SD is vry vry rare and also its solid appearnce on the wrist is just awesome.

Even I'm waiting to have my next Rolex and my 100% votes goes to SD as my nxt purchase.

Hope that day come soon.

Till then I'ld enjoy u guys' opinion on SDs

n u enjoy ur SD.

Good move, if you do not like the watch, it does not matter how rare it may become oneday. After all you should enjoy it daily.

Very well said.

I believe the same that don't go for the watch because of its rarity or resale value but go for the one with which your heart goes.
