Rolex Sea Dweller 50th 43mm
Discussion
I am thinking of trading in my Sub for a Sea Dweller 50th, I see the prices have slowed down a little with plenty of choice from watch boutiques. I have had my name down with my local dealer for over a year now, having bought three Rolex sport watches from them over the past few years I had hoped to get lucky but no joy.
Has anyone gone from a Sub to a Sea Dweller & regretted it because of the size ???
Any ideas on values of a Submariner Date 11610 - 1998, needs a bit of a polish as I wear it every day (box & papers).

Can't believe these are over list still. A quick look on Chrono24 shows 218 for sale! Is it a rare watch? Are Rolex still making them? What am I missing? Personally I'd keep badgering your local AD - surely you are eventually going to get one (assuming as you say - the premiums are getting lower)
Hi, wearing my 50th anniversary today...seems on my wrist more than everything else!
As a daily I tend to wear the rolex or one of my tudors (a bronze and a pelagos). The large size of the SD not a problem, but I am a big fella.
Don't know about premiums, I bought mine through an AD. At the time (last December) couldn't get one elsewhere without a premium though
cheers

Fear not. I'm used to 40mm and worried about going to 43 as I've got a really skinny wrist. However it wears really well and just feels so much more special. In terms of availability forget AD's, I work all over the world and most dealers couldn't even remember the last time they saw one. Also hearing rumours they've actually halted production temporarily - but as usual with Rolex - who really knows ?
I bought a new unused one and paid a grand over list. No regrets. My logic - Assuming it stayed in production as it is (with red writing), on past form thats 18 months of price increases - best case. Worst case they take that red writing off which then causes them to go a bit £££ silly and I'd struggle to justify it..
