Submariner or Sea Dweller? Let's be honest most would go for the Submariner, which is a GOOD watch. But the truth is the Sea Dweller is SO much more capable than the Submariner, the BETTER option (for me) join me as I explore this subject in moderate amounts of detail!

In spring of 1981 I went out with the intention of buying a Rolex Submariner. When I got to the jewelry store they had sold the there Submariner and they showed me a Sea Dweller and I made the decision to to purchase it. Well I wore it everyday for 42 years.I had it serviced twice and it was absolutely flawless. I just gave it to my son and hopefully he'll enjoy it for years to come.

For me, it's the best looking Sea-Dweller ever made, the best all-around diver there is and my favourite Rolex piece. I'm fine with the fact it's not popular, makes it even more distinct and special, if anything. The regular Sub is arguably a great piece of course, but to me it's nothing special. I never wanted one, not even when I started this hobby 20 years ago. The SD43 adressed the issues I had with the Sub40 116610 back un the day, namely the supercase, smallish size and ubiquity. I look at my SS SD43 and it's purposeful, has a gritty demeanour, looks badass. Great size and proportions. Unique charcoal dial, almost tropical. The single red line reminds us of its pedigree. The sexy lugs are almost integrated with the end links of a generously wide bracelet perfectly tapered at the clasp. My ageing eyes are grateful of the cyclops' excellent magnification. Sharp cutting teeth on the bezel to remind us of its predatory nature. Make no mistake, it's a beast, a killing machine. This thing hits you hard. Nothing comes close in terms of overall package. To me, it's perfect. I still vividly remember the first time I saw it at the AD in 2017 and tried it on, a mic drop moment. The kind of first impression you won't forget in a lifetime. I took it home, of course. So glad I did.

Respect, glad you found "the one" Rolex in the 126600 Sea Dweller that ticked your boxes! Like you said, it's so robust and mean. Definitely a timepiece that could easily outlive us and keep on ticking haha! Good on you for not going the "hype" route and for buying that speaks to you - I believe if more people did that we'd all be a bit more informed about our collections and we'd be able to speak to more than just "I bought this at X price and it's now worth Y price, how cool is that?"

Great vid. I've been on a wait list for 21 months for a submariner. Last week i got a call and was offered the sea dweller 43. I passed on the offer. And said i wanted to hold out for a sub. A few days ago i went to the boutique with pastries to do damage control lol. They had demo models and showed me the sea dweller. I fell in love with it. So now I'm on a wait list for that and the sub, what ever comes first. Ive been depressed ever since i passed on that watch lol. Hopefully in a year or so, I'll get the call again.

Oh no! What a bummer and an emotional roller coaster for you! Rule #1 when watch shopping is to always try a watch on before making a call. I constantly try watches on whenever I possibly can just for fun. It's one thing to see it online and on other people's wrists, and a whole different world when you try it on for yourself :)

Great video. I plan to get one but can’t decide on the all steel or the steel/ gold bi metal. Also the new GMT in steel/gold is gorgeous. I realize the gold is susceptible to scratches. But it is stunning. Help me decide.🤷‍♂️
@thetimist
@thetimist 7 ай бұрын
Thank you! That's a tough choice - I'll say it's easier to get the Sea Dweller from an AD since it's not a "hype" model when compared to basically any GMT II. So that might help you decide? As for all steel VS. bi-metal, that's even tougher to decide. On the one hand, all steel makes it more of a tool watch (whether it's the Sea Dweller or the GMT) if you go bi-metal it can be dressed up/down easier. Also note that the GMT II can be had on the Oyster AND Jubilee bracelet, and choosing the latter would make it more dressy than tool-y. Not sure if I helped, at the end of the day you have to be happy in your heart of hearts with the choice! Good luck though, "the hunt" is part of the fun! Do keep me posted though, I'm curious what you end up with :)

Thank you 🤗 glad to hear the Sea Dweller peaked your interest! I’m 6.75 and with the shape of my wrist it looks (in opinion) great. I believe you should be fine. It’s not just the circumference of the wrist, but also the shape itself. Some people have a rounder more evenly circular wrist. Others more rectangular. So the circumference doesn’t tell the whole story. I’d recommend you try and find a place where you can try it on. Then also look at it in a mirror (3rd person) and that should put your mind at ease 👍 keep me posted, I hope you get yours soon!

When the watch came out, I thought it was unnecessarily large. After trying one on at the AD, I am a convert. It is the best looking diver from Rolex. But I won’t go near one until Rolex has officially fixed the problem of premature wear and inaccuracy with their 3235 movements.

That's indeed most people's reaction (too big) but that's why I highly recommend folks try on watches before writing them off - it's not just the dimensions of the watch, but your individual wrist size and most often forgotten, SHAPE.

Sub for sure imo.. there's a reason they are valued so highly. Recreational diving is 10-50 meters (50 being on the higher end) and then you have to factor in how many people actually take their Rolex into the ocean... probably not many. Regardless, both are completely obsolete so it basically comes down to what you want and your wrist size. If you want a beefy watch you already know which one to choose vs if you want a timeless classic. The Submariner wins in the looks department as it avoids the hideous date pimple.. if only the Sea Dweller had an optional no date version.

It’s true, the number of people that actually take their tool watches or divers into the environments they were designed to operate in (as mentioned in the video) is minuscule. Truly, it all boils down to preference of size/style/taste. Thanks for sharing 👍

Haha, no I'm in Washington State, not Canada. I included that little line more for comic relief (given that Canada Goose parkas are very expensive and some people like to wear their watches over their clothes, which only makes sense if you find yourself in an extreme climate like the arctic circle...but not at the mall haha) Thanks for the kind words - I didn't mention the AR coating on my watch because it doesn't have it. There was no AR coating on any Sea Dweller model from 2022 or earlier, the AR coating (underside) was added in 2023. Great call out though for anyone that has a 2023 model or newer 👍 Also keep in mind that some watch brands don't include AR coating not because they don't want it as a positive addition, but because AR (external application on the crystal) can be scratched off and depending on the color/tint/hue of the AR coating it will look like tiny cracks or smudges on the crystal from certain angles. Breitling is a good example, they apply AR coating both top and underside and it's usually a blue hue - the top coating can get scratched (the sapphire is fine mind you, it's just the coating that gets affected) something to keep in mind. Lastly, I don't recommend you buy anything to impress anyone. Ever. Because at the end of the day no one TRULY cares. Everyone has their own priorities, so basing your life choices or decisions on the hypothetical points of view of others is a losing battle, and the only way to win is to not play. So buy what you can afford and what YOU like. You have to be happy with what you have, because it's your money and your hard work. This applies to a Rolex or a Timex and everything in between 😄

@@thetimist HEH// Ièll take your word on that. Just thinking how much it woul suck to loose such an expesive watch somewhere in deep snow. :)) On the cuff of a parka..where it could slip off fairly eay (Ièd assume). The watch...as i commented...still wodnering if it has a AR coating...heard later that a recent 71mm version of the the Sub now ha an AR coating...YTer didnèt say which yearémodel number.....OADD, Ièd think Rolex would have 'caught up' and added AR coastings on all their watches....dive or others....should be a standard feature....shrug...

@@AGC828 Again, the watch over your sleeve/parka was a joke - I don't recommend you do that, it's why I said it was for comic relief 😉 And again, my Sea Dweller, the one in the video, from 2022, does NOT have AR coating. The 2023 models and beyond DO have AR coating.

I mean, if you have a weak wrist, then yeah you'll likely need to consult a doctor before even attempting to pick something like this up. I personally think it's fine, and the more you wear it the less difficult it is. Also, if you think the Sea Dweller is heavy, then don't even think about ever picking up an AP Royal Oak Offshore 😆
