Dear Sifus,
I am in dilemma on whether to choose Deepsea Blue or Seadweller 50th anniversary. Both are great watch and price range are about the same. Can anyone give me an advise on which should I go for? I only have budget for one! :)
In terms of look, future appreciation, rareness.
Thanks Guys in advance.

Don't think anyone could answer you on the rareness and future appreciation. Look wise, I would go d-blue

100% D blue

Look-wise, it is very personal so I'd go with the Sea Dweller 50th Anni. Rareness, the D-blue is not discontinued and the SD 50th Anni is a new release so both are not rare. Future appreciation, that is a definite provided both were not purchased on a heavy premium. A harder question to answer would be which appreciate more in the future of which I can only say I do not know.

Personally I'll go for the blue

Lately I have been searching for vintage and uncommon Rolex. Found out that most of the Rolex preowned piece are black, silver, gold/champagne, white dial.
Other colours such as blue, red, brown, grey are very rare.
If you aim for future uniqueness and the color you like is blue. Then just go for the D-blue.
-
Both are good, the only concern I have is the wearability. Deep blue looks great but I understand it wears quite differently due to the top heaviness and smaller standard oyster bracelet. Single red appears to be much bigger and better proportioned but I have no idea how it wears. All things being equal, I would probably go deep blue which I'd probably wear on a rubber-B strap. Good luck choosing.
-
I personally like Deepsea Blue more but the only thing pulling me back is because some say the SeaDweller 50th will only be produce for 1 year to celebrate its 50th anniversary. So I assume its going to be very rare in the future.... sorry for being kiasu here.

Everyone also said that the Milgauss GV was going to be very limited in numbers due to the complexity of producing a green sapphire crystal. But look at it today...still in production and the price has halved from it's highest price point. No one really knows if and when a watch will be a "classic", a hit or a miss. It is also very strange that one would pay close to the retail price of a 116710LN for a used 16710. And how the price of a 1680 red sub has gone stratospherically high due to it's "uniqueness". So my humble take would be this, go try out the watch, see how it is like in the steel...they both wear differently and has different characteristics. Then decide what you like after you have had the opportunity to try them both on. And the most important thing to remember, you don't buy a watch as an investment. You don't buy a watch because it will increase in value...you buy it because you, and you alone like it. It looks good on your wrist and you feel happy seeing it on your wrist. Don't go buying a watch for all the wrong reasons.

thanks for the comments guys. Yes I think "dualcarb" is right. must look good on my wrist, well I have tried the D Blue, so far have not seen any Sea Dweller 50th on any store yet. So does the DBlue looks good on my wrist or is it too huge? :Praying: :Praying:
-
Looks huge bro
-
IMO - The watch is Too huge and thick on wrist if you decided to use a long sleeve with the DeepBlue, but otherwise it looks ok with casual wear...

I got one DSSD and it's height messes with the cuffs of your long sleeve shirt. Fine for casual wear but awkward with formal wear.
-
I had the regular DSSD; it was pretty big even for my wrist. And certainly won't fit under many shirt cuffs.

SD50 in comparison fits better imo, more balanced, less hefty, more comfortable and I believe demand is very high for this model right now.

Based on the pic you shared, I do think the D-Blue does fit a little too big on you.
-
it's look huge on your wrist. Personal think may not suitable on formal wear, but it's ok for casual wear..

SD50 thickness sit well on common wrist size.
-
Thanks Guys, don't have a chance to check out the SD50 yet but seems more balance though. Cant find it in any boutique at the moment......
r3kahsttub, you have both DSSD and SD50? OMG! :Cheers:
-
No mate, I do not. Wish I had the funds for the pair, but I do not! Not yet :Cheers:

....

Looks is entirely up to you. Future appreciation and rareness should not be factors of consideration. At the rate Rolex produce modern pieces and their build quality, it would be hard for them to become rare unless people were throwing them into the sea.

Between DSSD-Blue and SDC-Red, the latter seems to be the more wearable one (I still stand by the SD4k that I had, as the most wearable one) although putting the Cyclops there really seemed to put it more towards the Submariner family. If TS does not have a Sub, then by all means, the SDC-Red would be a no-brainer choice really :thumbsup:
-
I have a 14060 really don't mind to consider SD50th. Buts it's really hard to check out one in Klang valley at the moment.
-
I would go for the blue

Even for casual wear it looks way too big on your wrist for me...

looks a bit overwhelming on your wrist.

Awesome piece.
-
Both are huge watches. Make sure you have arnold size wrists, else it will overwhelm your wrist. Always remember....you wear the watch and not the other way round! :Cheers:
-
now lets wait it to be discontinued... :Praying:
-
looks gooding? ;D
-
I had only tried it once, it seems too big and too fat for my 7inch wrist. Nonetheless, it was an awesome piece, wear it in good health. And, yea let's wait for it to be discontinued :P
-
i would go for red :thumbsup:

If I were to choose, I would go for the blue. But that's just me.
