Thomas, this is the best I can do. Its not perfect, and the perspective, etc is a bit off but it gives you a rough idea of how the two watches compare on my wrist.

The SD43 does wear a little bigger, but that is countered by the better proportions and balance with the 2 mm wider bracelet.

As I've said above, the S&G looks great with your tattoo (and I still think you should keep it, but if you have your heart set on a Rolex, don't discount the TT black LN Sub as an option rather than the LB

Hi guys.
Thank you for all your answers, pros and cons.
I went to the AD a few minutes ago. Got a chance to try on a Hulk, and realized that I have never tried on a sub with maxi case.
It sits in the middle of the wrist, with a cm on each side showing the wrist. To my eyes that is simply too small for my stature.
So the solution..... I HAVE BOUGHT THE SD43😀

Thank you so much for the help and friendly advice!!!!

Good choice Thomas, and choice is not spelt with a S, I know you're Danish but don't try and Frenchify the great English language or the Queen will come after you!

Thank you for that picture!!!!! It just confirm my choose. To me it only look a tiny bit bigger, and since I feel the sub (in my eyes) look a little bit on the small side, I am absolutely sure that the SD is the way to go

Actually, I think it fits under most of my shirts too, and in the long run, I guess black and steel does go with whatever your wear.....
Awesome pictures!!!

I know... sorry! Autocorrection on my stupid phone

RoyalOac · 18 August 2018, 01:26 AM

100% Bluesy. Goes with everything and is a stunner.

oops, looks like you made your choice already!

gccmd · 18 August 2018, 01:37 AM

I have a Bluesy and love it. But it’s not my only watch. Of the two you are choosing between I think you will find the SD43 to be more versatile.

crazycarlitos · 18 August 2018, 03:25 AM

Congrats !

SD43 has taken over most of wrist time for me

Post some pics !

Seibei · 18 August 2018, 03:45 AM

TT is unfashionable. I would stay with SS.

droptopman · 18 August 2018, 03:51 AM

Check the SD43 size and feel on your wrist before you make a decision. A 114060 may be a better choice for you for an all arounder. I love my LB and have loved the model for 30 years. I wore one daily from 1987-1995 and never thought much about wearing a blue watch with anything. Now that I have more watches, I wear the LB about equally with the 114060 and a couple other Rolex far less often. Be hard pressed to decide which one if only one. IMO the 114060 may be just a bit more practical for everything.

Oops, never mind, I see you have made your choice. Congrats and enjoy.

Congratulations!!! With a 7+ wrist you'll definitely be able to carry it off. For me my favorite is the 116600 SD4K. I have a 6.5 in wrist.

Tough choice, both great. Whatever you choose you’ll be happy.

Sd43.

drm20 · 18 August 2018, 07:38 AM

I just bought the 116613lb to wear everyday. It does go with everything and I’m happy I got it!

SD43 without a doubt for me.

ThomasAndy · 18 August 2018, 12:32 PM

The 116613LB is absolutely stunning!!!! Congrats on a brand new one!!!!
To me the Sub is just way too small. It looks like half the size compared to my BB, and that is just to small for me.
Thats why my choice fell on the SD43. I think the matt black dial and SS, goes with whatever i want it to. Suit, casual or whatever.
Besides that it is just the right size, i am very happy that it´s the new movement inside....
Thanks guys. And awesome pictures you post!!! I´ll post some when i go home in 2 weeks and can finally put it on my wrist :-)

Just go for classic black sub or if you need the timezone a black gmt. Cant go wrong with the SD43 as well but the weight of the watch could get uncomfortable for everday/all the time use.

Yep! Or mine

The SD 43 is the winner hands down!!

It will fit you like a glove and look perfect on your wrist. If you're already accustomed to wearing a DSSD this one will feel significantly smaller.

It wears nowhere near as large as its size would indicate IMO.
