Rolex Sub or Sea Dweller? [or neither?]

It took a whole year for me to make this, but it's out and now I'm curious to hear your thoughts - Sub or Sea Dweller and why? Give the video a watch (pun intended) and share your thoughts!

Sub for me. Why? It looks just like my beloved Pro Diver 😉

I’ve had the blue bezel sub on my wish list for a while. I can’t afford it, though (who can?), and I have pretty big wrists so a sea-dweller has been calling to me. Maybe a two tone? Maybe a deepsea with the blue dial? It’s all mostly wishful thinking anyway, I guess.

Haha, that's fair! We like what we like 😊 and we usually tend to collect many things, all with similar attributes as a result!

I hear ya - I tried the blue bezel Sub on, it's a beauty, expensive as you said, but also heavy. White gold feels pretty hefty on the wrist. Not that a DeepSea wouldn't, but it's misleading because you see the size and go "yeah, that's nice, let me put it on" and then you're hit with the mass 😜 I say try and find an AD that has them and put them on your wrist. See which one speaks to you. Regardless of how quickly you'll get "the call" at least you'll know which one sings to you the most 👍

Sub. It's lighter. More nimble

Weight definitely plays a big role. So a curveball question - would you wear a Sea Dweller IF it were made of titanium? 😊

I love the Sub with green bezel however the Sea Dweller sings to me. Slightly bigger diameter the only drawback on my wrist. However I was pleasantly surprised how well it wore when I tried it on. Very understated

If I get the call for either 🙏 ….. you will see it on WRUW

Really good video 👍

Nice video! I liked the touch of history. I prefer without a cyclops so it's the no date sub for me. And I actually prefer the older sea dweller with no cyclops and small date window.

Thanks for the kind words - either way I'm rooting for you! (but secretly I hope you go for the Sea Dweller 😂)

Excellent! Titanium (in watches, with a little bit of history for good measure) will be the focus of my next video. Love the stuff 😍

Much appreciated 🤝 I do also love the older Sea Dwellers, and to be fair they're all handsome pieces in their own right (if you're into that sort of dive watch) but I'm actually super keen on seeing titanium be brought into the fray 😀

Thanks for the kind words! And wow, that's a fantastic collection of dive watches - I especially love the Seamaster on the mesh bracelet 👌

Titanium Mesh…..lol 🤣

Fair, fair! I'm a titanium fiend, literally have been since I was a kid having found out about the metal from the SR-71 Blackbird. Ever since I've just fawned over it (and now own 4 titanium watches as a result 😂) good on you, and excited to see a future post from you on the MN FXD!

You and me both! I have a few titanium watches. The full fat pelagos obviously plus a phoibis apollo v3

Plus a Citizen Ray Mears

Plus an old citizen skyhawk ( can't find picture right now)

Plus a Christmas present to myself which I can't wear yet which is the Circula 500m Titanium sport diver which I'm quite excited about wearing!

Shown on rubber but it came with a titanium bracelet.

So as you can see I have that titanium bug!

ok, Ok, OK...it's clear, you're the titanium master here and you win 😂🤝 beauties, the lot of them!

The Sea Dweller 4000 with the no cyclops crystal is on my list of future purchases.

If I was to get a Sub (which I have no plans for), it would be a no-date.

·

High production values! 🙌

Must be lots on the cutting room floor.

Fun video and you convinced me.

The Sea Dweller 4000 is a pretty sweet piece - I'm looking forward to your NWA post 🤝

I always appreciate your posts!

And YES, to make a 5-10 min. long video I shoot over 100 Gb of footage because I'd rather have more than I need, and cut, than need more footage and then have to go back out and setup, etc. etc. (pretty time consuming) 😜

Unless I have a drastic change of heart, my very next watch will be an Omega Seamaster Diver 300 with the white dial on bracelet. I'm obsessed with that watch and will not rest until I get it, lol!

After that....it's SeaDweller time!
