Well, Chung
My choice would be a no crown guard Sub, like a 5508, or even better...6538.
I would trade in a second my 16 660 and my Red Sub for a 6538!
As I own both the Sub and the SD, I must confess that I have a light preference for the Triple 6...
But if I had the choice between a no crownguard Sub and a triple 6...No doubt it will be the no crownguard sub!
Best,
Nicolas
Thoughts on SD 16600 from a fairly ignorant Rolex guy
Well, guys. Having worn the 16600 for a short time now... I've had some thoughts about it and figured I'd share. First off, I really don't know much about Rolex history or the minutia of vintage Rolex collecting, and I have never owned a vintage Rolex. So...
Nicey written, Mostel
The SD is one of the most appealing Rolex, thicker than a Sub, a bit heavier, too, and most of all, no magnifyer for the date, which is a very good thing, even if the magnifyer has become part of the Rolex DNA... Among the SDs, my favourite is this one, a...

Thank you Nicolas, I do need guidance
and I was hoping for a suggestion here. My next Rolex will have to be Vintage. And it will be between and SD and Daytona. Really appreciate the guidance. I also have no idea who to trust in the vintage world, which is another reason I have stayed with the...
There is a funny game to play, Mostel
Hunt a 1665, and you will have a link between the modern and the Vintage! And if you are so in love with the Sea Dweller, add a Triple 6! you will have the 3 SDs! Best, 666. This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-08-03 08:28:15
Vintage Rolex is like quicksand, Mostel
Once you get in, it is very difficult to get out, but instead of facing a survival cunundrum, you end up having a great quest which leads to many joyful moments. Best of luck in your hunt and please keep us posted once you have gone vintage Regards, Alex
