I'm not usually a fan of Rollies, but something about that one screams class at me.... Lol

thanks all!

 

when i joined this forum i wasnt into Rolex myself

used to like hublot and owned a few decent reps before but dont like hublot no more

i was always a big fan of breitling. owned a few breitling super reps and decided to buy the gen seawolf.

along the way i tried some different models of Rolex but was really amazed with the sea dweller. bought a beautiful modded rep and was convinced this was it. i think i'll stick with Rolex from now on.

still got the gen seawolf but i might sell that now ive got my sd

Very nice watch. It seems the classic SD is much more popular then the ceramic SD and ultimately is a lot cheaper pre-owned. I use to own the SD rep and thought it was a great watch. Even though it didn't have the maxi case or maxi dial it still worn nicely due to the case thickness and I guess if you hate the cyclops then you are in luck.

i prefer the classic over the new sd

prefer this bezel, prefer the clasp on this model over the new one

so wasnt a hard choice

didnt really like the cyclopse but tried on the smurf yesterday at the ad and did like that as well

I have a watch problem

Congrats, wear it well - Ive owned one gen Rolex I wanted one for my birth year (79) but came across a 78 datejust two tone SS / 18k oyyster band it was beautiful and looked great on me even though I don't wear yellow gold - had acrylic face and ended up putting a gash in it when I brushed against a rock wall...anyway lost interest in it after that and sold it, biggest mistake I miss that watch so much so again congrats and it looks awesome! Can't wait to get my next gen and I owe it all to this site!
