I would sell to get the SD4K back.

I bought mine new when one to walk into the AD and the watch was in the display case waiting to be bought. I miss those days.

Would you rather; an SD 4k or a Z Blue and Everose DJ 36?

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-01:21
I’ve always regretted passing on a 116600 SD 4k and am thinking seriously of trading my Z Blue Milgauss and Everose DJ 36mm for this one. If I did I would then have a black ceramic to complete all the stainless steel sport Rolex colours, but with a very s...  

Well, those are all really nice…

But this is the one I’m wearing right now, and if I could have only one keeper Rolex, this would be it. Bought new when ADs sold them at a discount! Kent ...  

Nice

You were wise then and now, that SD 4k makes so much sense as a one Rolex piece.

Is there anything about this trade that bothers you?

 
 By: Echi : September 5th, 2021-03:22
If not, I’d go ahead with it. I like the sd4k and I bet you’ll enjoy the hell out of it

It seems he is in a hard conundrum

SD4k is nice. I like the z-blue so much, if i have one, I will never trade or part with it. It is so different and electrifying. The DJ 36 is nice (is it the tt version you posted with the smooth bezel?) I like dive watches to be balanced in weight, not t... 

+1

Great idea Echi. SD4k is one of those pieces poised to be collectible.

It does make sense Nico…

but I’m wearing the Milgauss less than I was and dropping my total watch count while complementing and focusing my stainless steel sports collection makes swapping both my likeliest move.

That’s certainly a possibility but adding it enhances the DJ trade value for the SD 4k…

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-16:20
and I’ve been considering paring down on my total watch count.

You’ve struck on interesting points…

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-16:17
My Z Blue does electrify and is unique in the Rolex lineup for its playfulness. That is indeed the dj I posted in wristscan this week, a true style icon. I tried it on and found the balance and wrist feel enjoyable. I’m not a diver so that criteria isn’t ... 

That DJ is beautiful

 
 By: Cookies : September 5th, 2021-16:21
I’d wear it daily if I have one like that. Something about the white dial, the lume, and the smooth bezel makes it look like a delectible oyster. They say, if faced with hard decision, one can flip a coin. “the answer will present itself when the coin is ... 

Yes 👍 that everose DJ with the smooth bezel and oyster bracelet with white dial and roulette date is my ultimate DJ combo.

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-16:27
As the first reply mentioned the SD 4k would make great only Rolex. The same could be said for that DJ 👍

SD 4000 is a grail watch

 
 By: jonrus : September 5th, 2021-04:57
It was made for such a short time, quite unpopular and a slow selling piece. It has all the ingredients for a future grail in my opinion. AD quickly disposed of the remaining supply to make room for the 50th anniversary SD 43 in the store. Those were the ... 

Haha 😂 yes they were…

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-16:32
the sales rep was practically begging me to buy it but I had the Deepsea and five digit LV and didn’t see a place for it. No longer have the Deepsea and the SD 4k fits me better.

It was heavily discounted

 
 By: jonrus : September 6th, 2021-02:06
The manager negotiated with me for a lowest price.. need to sell a dog.. the new sd43 50th anniversary is coming. I miss those days!

SD4 all the way

Since the release it’s imho one of the best Rolex diver 👍🏼

It’s a knockout for sure 👍

Thanks 🙏 champ 🏆…

You are certainly someone’s advice I would trust almost unquestioningly. You are like a watch whisperer lol 😂 I believe it’s ted-lo who calls you the watch Jedi?

I would sell to get the SD4K back.

Indeed it is, words of wisdom 🤔

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-16:50

Listen to what your heart wants. But with prudence. Think wisely before you decide.

 
 By: geross : September 5th, 2021-17:24
And decide with no regrets. 😅 Geross.

Thanks geross, sage advice 🙏

Do it!

 
 By: neville : September 5th, 2021-19:55
A few weeks ago i managed to get an SD4K, hadn't been looking for one, it came up for sale and i decided to try it. Nothing else has taken wrist time since, why i did not get one before now I have no idea!

Similar to my case…

 
 By: oyster case : September 5th, 2021-23:44
it had been years since I tried it at the AD. I hadn’t even seen one in person since. Then I put it on yesterday and immediately loved it. Unique case shape, not maxi and with a bubble back style case back. Just connected right away and completely see the...
