SD43, trade the deep sea +$$$ and pick up a Daytona C (when you can).
Two best modern SS sport watches of any brand in my opinion.

GB-man · 7 July 2017, 12:18 PM

I would prefer the SD43 to the dssd. If you're keeping the dssd then maybe the 114060.

Which one looks better on you,,,,size etc

Can't you keep the Sub no date and get the SD?

No can't get both :-).

I bought the Deepsea about five months ago.

Really like that watch and the presence it gives.

I already have had all Rolex in the past (GMT LN + BLNR, DD everose, Daytona white gold, SD40, Sub date yellow gold, SDDS).

GMT is to flashy, daytona feels too small on my wrist and no love anymore for gold watches.

I never had the Sub No Date in my collection.

Personally I prefer the SD43, the way the thinner lugs align with the wider bracelet, almost flush compared to the Sub. More wrist presence IMHO mainly due to larger bezel. SD43 feels more special being an anniversary edition. Got mine two months back and still over the moon. A work colleague showed me his 114060, can't get over the lugs, rest of the watch looks good.

I just picked up the SD43 and I have owned the DSSD twice and I prefer the SD43. The increase in the bracelet size is noticeable and the SD43 is, for me, the larger Submariner. The Sub-ND is a great watch but I have a Hulk so I went SD43. If you can get it and maintain the DSSD you will soon tell which you prefer.

AK797 · 7 July 2017, 10:44 PM

I'd get the sub and swap the DSSD for a D-blue.

Sd43

sensui · 8 July 2017, 04:10 AM

Since you didn't mention if the no date sub needs to be 6 digit, my vote is the 14060(M).

coleburns · 8 July 2017, 04:17 AM

SD hands down. The myth about the SD being a very big watch needs to die!

YES!! It's the perfect size! The only people saying that it's big never seen it or held the watch in the metal.

In all of the discussions of the 126600, hardly anyone ever mentions the HEV, which is the defining feature of the watch, not the diameter or the cyclops, or the bezel, which are the features most often mentioned in these discussions.

The best advice is to pick the one that appeals to you more, because ultimately, it's just a matter of cosmetics (and budget) if indeed you need to ask.

sea-dweller · 10 July 2017, 04:01 AM

I'd get the SD43.

cousie · 13 July 2017, 05:52 AM

I got the SD43 and sold my Deepsea

I think the Sub works best for your particular wrist size/shape

samson66 · 13 July 2017, 10:29 PM

Oops just saw your last post. Congrats on the SD43. Post a pic or two when you can.

That would really piss me off too...youd think if they spent a little less time designing it go 4000ft
Underwater and a little more time on how to survive at ground level youd have a more practical $14k ss watch
