Well, the odd thing is I am actually going to be a voice of support for the idea!
As a previous owner of a 50th Anniversary Submariner I was irritated enormously by the tin foil clasp and sub-Lorus hollow-linked bracelet, and the way the marketing made out the 50th Anniversary piece was limited in production (meaning I paid top dollar) only for the market to suddenly become flooded with them when the popularity waned a little. Hmmmmm, I guess Rolex just found several thousand of them sitting in a drawer somewhere.
BUT having said all that, I find myself strangely drawn to the SDDS as well!
The clasp and bracelet shortcomings are fixed, and I personally don't think the narrowness of the bracelet compared to the head is too bad. The SDDS very much fits into my category of preference, (i.e. an evolution of real classics of yesteryear, updated for the 21st century). And everything else aside, Rolex really do know how to build a bulletproof watch. The in-house movement is super smooth and will run forever, probably with minimal servicing too (although I wouldn't advise it), and they are beautifully finished watches. The dial (if a little "wordy" 
) Cerachrom bezel, and the 43mm case are real works of art. Additionally, no matter what you think of the image and marketing of Rolex, the brand power of that crown on the dial is beyond doubt. Resale value will always be one of the highest on the market.I'm sorry to say it guys, but I personally just think the SDDS is simply a better watch than the ones Mark's thinking of selling.
If I was you I'd go for it!
