SD4000 vs Submariner comparison

For those who are interested, I just put together a comparison video of my new SD4000 vs the SubC. Let me know what you think!

SD4K!

Sub is classic and always will be but the proportions of SD4K, better lugs dimensions (non square), no Cyclops, and short production run make the SD4K MY choice :)

Thanks guys and agreed on the SD4K. I've become more fond of 5-digit Rolex recently because of their less bulky cases. The SD4K is the perfect blend of a 5-digit diver case with the 6-digit goodies- ceramic bezel, glidelock, better movement components

Nice comparison. How does the SD thickness compare to the Sub? It seems quite a bit thicker. I'm not a fan of the cyclops at all but having a date function is nice.

Thank you

I don't have exact dimensions, but it seems to only wear a few mm higher. Definitely not nearly as high as a DSSD. I don't notice any substantial difference from the sub.

Awesome! Very nicely done. This video has cemented my choice as I decide which one to get. I was on the fence and having a devil of a time deciding. Now, however, I know I'm going for the Sub with confidence in my choice.

That's what made it such a tough choice. Both are spectacular watches. What finally tipped the scales in favor of the Sub for me was the cyclops. Not only is it quintessentially Rolex, but it's useful for me. And I'm all about utility.
