bowtiefanatc 16 Posted January 10, 2014 Having a 16610 & a 116610 I think I still need a Sea Dweller & a DSSD But out of the two I really like the classic look. The Sub-C is much more for casual I think personally. Sea Dweller or 16610 can easily be worn with a suit on a regular basis without seeming a little too flashy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjml1966 0 Posted January 10, 2014 Sub C with my prescription cyclops for my old eyes. Will have both eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nunu78 1,741 Posted January 10, 2014 Easy peasy - the cyclops is what turns me off the Sub. Then by no date sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted January 10, 2014 Neither wins as they are both beautiful watches, I have a few subs but no SD's as like jjml I love the cyclops for practical and aesthetic reasons so my preference if for the Sub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chats 1 Posted January 10, 2014 i chose the most hilarious candidate. but seriusly though SD anytime! cant beat SD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted January 10, 2014 So it seems pretty much the majority being in favour of the SD. But which SD rep do people prefer, then - expanding the selection from the OP...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted January 11, 2014 Great comparison shoot mate. Just loved it. The Cyclops and the bigger circles/blue lume of the Sub-C first put me off - so I thought - but got both and - just given some time - the ceramic starts to grow on You, the instant adjustability of the bracelet is perfect, the blue lume isn´t so strong in the beginning but it holds all night and even the Cyclops is fun sometimes, though it catches a lot of dirt. Both are getting the same wrist-time in the end so its 45% ceramic/55% for the SD - and You need them both. My pair says hello:) Now to expand this a little, for me the Winner since yesterday is: TC Cadell Submariner Rouge 25-286 (without Cyclops), thinner caseset, far improved dial, gen-like positioning of hands - and a red secondhand:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine get almost equal wrist time as well, but I find myself spending more time with the SD. The Sub-C does grow on you, and at times I prefer the slightly bulkier feel, which isn't nearly as massive as the DSSD. However, I find that the SD feels more gen-like to me and is more unique than the Sub. What factory is your SD from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flave 0 Posted January 13, 2014 BP sub ceramics, part for part are very accurate. The sum of the parts together as a timepiece leave a lot to be desired. The overall fit and finish isn't quite up to par, even though the SEL fitment is much better than the latest noob. The 16600 was a watch I don't think anyone saw coming. Whether intentional or not, they pretty much nailed it. With TC having produced some 16600 dials and upgrading some other parts, the watch is a super rep to the nth degree. No contest. I agree that the 16600 is a fine specimen. Right out of the box it is very accurate to gen. I have to say that I prefer the bracelet and clasp on the Sub-C. I don't think they are interchangeable, but if they were I would swap them out in a heartbeat! That hard to do? I imagine the spacing between the lugs are more or less the same. Give it a go! I've often wondered this. Any idea if it can be done? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daywatch 4 Posted January 13, 2014 Hi Fabe, it´s a so-called special project from Trusty made with a gen M-series SD 1:1 copy; very good lume and "factory waterproof tested to 10 ATM". Want to use this next summer after checking the waterproofness. Like the pearl also and was lucky to have all centered perfectly. It has been a very good and classic watch. Here its sitting on a Nato: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honeybear 0 Posted February 24, 2014 I believe that the SeaDweller is a more accurate replica out of the box, and the main thing I'm not fond of on the SD vs the SubC is the clasp. While I'm not sure if you swap the entire bracelet, it's definitely possible to use a Glidelock clasp with the older Rolexes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorny007 0 Posted February 24, 2014 Sea dweller case seems a bit more proportional to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrroey 0 Posted March 8, 2014 SD is much more accurate straight out of the box, only changes to make are TC hands. Sub-C feels better to me due to the thinner profile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markeym3 2 Posted March 10, 2014 I have a BK sub c and love it , I'm not feeling the love for the sub c from you guys, but then I have yet to try a SD ,,, ,, maybe next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twofake 0 Posted March 10, 2014 Don't they both look quite similar? Main differences I see are cyclops on sub c, clasp on sub c, relief valve on sd, blue lume vs green lume , different gloss of the bezels . Am I missing a lot more obvious things apart from the printing of the names? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sungod 1 Posted April 4, 2014 I say wear them both at the same time like your idol Flava Flav! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
