Just to share my Submariner Non Date in the Background & My dad's Sea Dweller in the foreground. He bought his sea dweller for about $1000+ when i wasnt even born. i am 19 so do the math. hahah.

you can see that the gaps between his SD are quite loose as he has been wearing it for daily work for the past 20 years prolly? Side-track a bit. he is a deep sea commercial diver so he is prolly pushing the rolex to its limits for the depth that he is in and the pressure in the chamber and it still hasnt failed him all these years.. only serviced it prolly less than 5 times..

now the price for sub is higher than a sea dweller. 16610 for that matter. hahah. He also has the Half Gold Sub but no pics for that as yet. =)

16613 also comes with black dial...

TT combination = two-tone combination. blue & gold

i don't know if people actually use it to dive, i know i won't. the reason i got the sea-dweller is because it doesn't have the cyclops.

you'll be surprised to know that the sub costs more than the sea-dweller now. supply & demand..

oh, what's TT combination?

[triton]

i dont know. im guessing.

submariner comes in TT combination.
submariner has a cyclops
submariner had special anniversary edition
cheaper if comparing black face and black dial.
personal preference.

to me i would prefer the sea dweller compared to submariner based on black face black dial. more classic. can dive deeper

Hi guys, I own a sea-dweller and i stumbled upon this webby.. so yup, here I am.

Just wondering, how come the submariner is more popular?

Hey thanks. I got it from HG Peninsular. I paid 9.5K for it. Look for Daph, she's cool. But I didnt scout around for the lowest price. Think during that time, might have been fleeced a bit.

Recently saw from Passion at Funan a 1-year old SS Sub date only 5700! Good price rite? Now sold liao. A bit regret. V good condition with non visible scatches. U guys sticky for 1st hand rollies? Or 2nd hand also can?

1yr old 16610 for 5.7K? With box and papers? If so, that's a good price!

[triton]

U guys sticky for 1st hand rollies? Or 2nd hand also can?

for me, i stick to 1st hand as of now. cause unless i know the history of the watch, i dun mind. else i would rather go 1st hand. personal preference.

[Bluedevil]

which branch? how much you paid for?

blue face? looks like no sports series? maybe the DJ?

Bought it a few months ago at HG, but scratches galore liao! I wear it too often haha. Colleagues say its a bit uncle for me, but I don't care.
Just a few praises for this watch: not so common, looks like a precious gem with that sapphire-like blue, keeps time well, makes me feel proud and always remind me of a bling-bling reward for all my hard work!
Now aiming for another watch with a blue face but dunno wat to get.

That's my boy:

welcome. enjoy your stay here. it is common to get scratches. usually first one is hardest to get over. however, as more scratches come along it gets easier to get over with.
