SD43 is the keeper.

The problem with a question like this......
All the BLNR owners say keep the BLNR!
All the SD43 owners say keep the SD43!

Both are great watches, if you want a dive watch look with diving functions keep the SD43 or if you want a second time zone keep the GMT, no right or wrong answer, pretty sure which ever one you let go you’ll miss......

Can't go wrong with # 2. Very common. If you want to be different. go with the Batman

Love both. IMO SD is something at a similar level as Daytona, which might be a bit `better` than Sub or GMT.

I don't own either. I would ditch the SD, it looks a bit too big for my tastes.

Nice collection, btw, great choices!

BLNR fits. SD43 does not. It’s too big for you.

I would choose BLNR for two reasons. First, I love blue. Second, I regularly reference GMT time.

It’s pretty subjective and need a little more info on why your selling and what you like in a sports watch. I personally don’t like the SD43 due to size and cyclops, but others love it, so all responses will be on personal preference at this point.

Both are keepers. But BLNR seems to be more versatile.

What other watches are in your collection and why do you want to sell these 2 in particular?

I get that the SD43 is a superior watch, but I'd keep the one that fit my wrist, lifestyle, and personality the best. I'm a solid 6-0, 210 lbs with larger wrists, but I don't like to feel my watch every time I lift my arm up for whatever reason. I'm wearing my BLNR as I type this, albeit it's on a 97200 bracelet, and I forgot it was even on. My LVc is the same way for me. I've had larger luxury watches, but I've realized the look, feel, and comfort are most important to me.

Both fits great and I feel I could be fine with just one of these in the collection, hence the question.

IMO GMT is a useful complication, and based on the photo looks like it suits you better. So I would keep it. Although I do like look of SD43 more lately. So if you think it suits you well, keep it and let BLNR go.

Keep them both for a few months then decide. That was advice I received here and wish I’d listen to. Lol
