    Sea Dweller or Sub LV?

    Hi folks,

    I currently have the GMT II (16710) and looking to buy another Rolex.

    Was thinking of the Sub LV but when I was in the AD today, she pulled out a V-serial Sea Dweller (16600) which I thought had been discontinued.

    Both were being offered at list price of ~$8.8k.
    (A different AD had offered $7.9k for the Sub LV)

    Like the Sub LV for the green bezel and differentiates from my GMT II.
    Like the Sea Dweller for the tough but clean cyclop-less look.

    So in a bit of a quandary and can't decide...

    Questions:

    (1) Are the prices fair, ie
    (a) $8.8k for this seemingly discontinued Sea Dweller?
    (b) $7.9k for the Sub LV?

    (2) What would your advice be for a 2nd Rolex to share 50/50 wrist time with my GMT?
    (a) Get the Sea Dweller
    (b) Get the Sub LV
    (c) Be patient and wait for Basel to see if there's an updated Explorer II

    Thanks very much, and looking forward to your opinions!

    personally i would take the SD v series first. probably the last batch already. no more already. however LV still in production.

    what is considered a fair price, i dont know. price might go up or down..no one knows.

      It all depends on how old you are, how good is your eyes and whether you fell irritated when you can't read your date.

      I used to have a SD, traded for a LV after a month.... If only SD got the cyclops...

                  Between the sub lv and the v series seadweller, I prefer the latter. I prefer a less conspicuous watch....So, SD is the choice!

                  Beyond the choice of these two, I will go for the sub date. The green on the lv does not appeal to me. The seadweller itself goes beyond my functional expectation, as I don't need such depth.

                    Go for the sub Lv..imo cos though still a current model but prices will keep rising until discon..for previous model sea dweller does not attract me cos no cyclops date display n look very similar to Sub ND..And of cos prices for sea dweller selling price is bit high side would rather go for gmt IIc den..

                      both are just as nice. can't go wrong with either. just pick the one that sings to you. forget about future price as no one knows for sure...

                            That same question popped up after I got my GMT II. SD or Sub LV?

                            Eventually, I got the Sub LV. But that was before they announced that SD will be discontinued. Then after that, I got the Explorer II. So I'm regretting a bit that I didn't get the SD earlier.

                            My vote now would be for the SD.

                              I'd say the SD first...then the Sub LV.
