Thanks to Danny T for inspiring the rhyming title. So I ordered the Sea-Dweller for my 40th birthday and while I really liked the watch in every aspect, yes even the 40mm was actually quite nice. An oppurtunity for me to obtain a Rolex that I thought was originally out of my league, came up and I had to take the chance, and a certain watchfreek convinced me by his words of wisdom. So I am on my way to pick up this that is waiting for me at Fed-Ex. i will post a ton of pics tonight when I get home.

Some quick pics. I get more tonight.

Congrats.

So you got rid of the sea dweller for a submariner?

Yes.

 

[great_mazinger]

So this submariner is a smaller watch and newer I guess?

It's still 40mm but wears more like 42mm and its newer by 10 years, has the new glide lock bracelet, different lume, maxi dial/case, cerachrom bezel.

SD wears taller than a Sub due to the caseback

SD is 13mm 16600 vs 12.5mm on the sub c.

Yep, wears taller. And the SD-C 4K wears even taller at 15mm

Definitely wears taller also due to the crystal sitting taller than the bezel. I don't mind taller watches but as my tastes change 15mm is my new cut off as opposed to my 18mm I used to prefer. 12-15mm for height and 40-44mm is where I now like to stay.

 

[great_mazinger]

I'm in the same range, with a few exceptions. I'd say only 7 of my 40 watches exceed the 15mm height and 43mm diameter mark

Of course I'd make an exception for the DSSD

Congrats. I own it as well and frankly it's the most comfy watch I've ever owned. It's a keeper. Plus pics don't do justice to the sort of wet look it has due to the bezel etc. It's the perfect rolex IMO. The beefier lugs give it a diff look compared to seadweller etc.

Couldn't agree with you more.

[great_mazinger]

IMO the maxi case is awesome!

[great_mazinger]

Seems like true love ... darn I'm jealous!!!!!

LOVE the pics where it's perched on the rock with the clouds reflected in the crystal.

You are set!!!!

Thanks brother. I am always trying to get better at taking pictures.

Just a quick update. The 114060 Submariner has been on my wrist for a week straight and this bad boy is +1 second against an atomic clock.

This is the perfect dive watch IMHO, balanced dial, beautiful bezel that rotates smooth like butter, a unbelievably comfortable. Rolex does make a pretty darn near perfect watch.
