Based only on looks I'd keep the SD.

jenedla · 9 January 2019, 10:01 PM

Thats a tough call. I have both and am strongly considering a consolidation move. I have already made up my mind that the SD stays and the BLNR goes. But again, tough call.

1William · 9 January 2019, 10:03 PM

Without knowing what else is in your collection I would sell/trade the SD43 for a ND Submariner and a Omega Speedmaster. Two for one and there is enough there to do it if you pick up the Speedmaster pre-owned. One great watch for two great and classic ones.

aproo · 9 January 2019, 10:04 PM

I would keep the SD43

Sublovin · 9 January 2019, 10:33 PM

Sea Dweller is the keeper of those two

RichM · 9 January 2019, 10:36 PM

That's a tough one. Both great pieces. If one had to go, it would be the SD43.

Rolly.BT · 9 January 2019, 10:39 PM

I've got both and my suggestion is to keep both!

But if money is a problem then I'd keep the SD. An anniversary piece is a big deal when it comes from rolex

watch81 · 9 January 2019, 10:41 PM

Blue on that BLNR is just special, I would keep it.

Given your wrist apparent wrist size, I’d say the BLNR fits you better. That being said, what you keep is purely your preference. Follow your gut

ade · 9 January 2019, 10:54 PM

Had both.

Sold the SD43. Why? It is too flash imho for what should be a total tool watch. The 16600, SD4k or DeepSea are superior and more 'honest' divers.

The BLNR is a classic and incredibly versatile.

t65tampa · 9 January 2019, 11:31 PM

I like them both. They are very different looking and wearing watches, so for me it would be tough part with either of them. Sorry, I'm no help to you.

My advice. Keep both. Don't get rid of either. Both amazing pieces. Don't do it!

Geaux Tigers · 10 January 2019, 02:59 PM

I’d keep the BLNR.

Very scary advice. I jumped to PM May of 2017 and bought two more PM watches in 2018. My SS gets zero wrist time. I’m even thinking of doing the unimaginable and selling my Kermit and TT to get a YG Submariner. Do not upgrade to PM until you’re ready to stop wearing SS.

timeisfathaoftruth · 10 January 2019, 03:32 PM

If you can only keep one, then the keeper is the BLNR

jimcameron · 10 January 2019, 03:53 PM

Do you travel? If so, sell the SD.

Do you dive? If so, sell the GMT

If you do neither, why did you buy them in the first place?

Joearch · 10 January 2019, 04:12 PM

Blue and black

sager · 10 January 2019, 04:15 PM

I guess it would depend on your lifestyle.

Aesthetically, I would keep the BLNR.

speedy_master1 · 10 January 2019, 05:18 PM

Blnr

Wcdhtwn · 10 January 2019, 05:34 PM

Keep SD43 or move both and get something PM.

redguy · 10 January 2019, 05:38 PM

Please keep the SD43

Seibei · 10 January 2019, 05:39 PM

BLNR is the keeper.

brettpaul · 10 January 2019, 05:46 PM

SD 43 without question my friend - the BLNR is a modern classic for sure....especially if it's discontinued.

Rashid.bk · 10 January 2019, 08:00 PM

Depends what I have, and what's coming in...
Those two are a hot commodity as of late so the choice is crucial.
On face value if just going from two to one, I'd give a slight nod to keeping the BLNR for me.

Daveclock · 10 January 2019, 08:21 PM

Sell SD as it looks too big, BLNR can only climb in value too, and perhaps is easier to wear all round.

lord91 · 10 January 2019, 10:25 PM

I'd keep the BLNR

watchwatcher · 11 January 2019, 02:46 AM

I wouldn't let either one go, TBH, unless you're sick of looking at it, of course.

If you absolutely have to get rid of one, I guess the BLNR, as it does nothing for me. But...I think you're going to regret it.

TK116710 · 11 January 2019, 03:21 AM

I have small wrists, so I know that the SD43 would dwarf me. The model doesn't speak to me, personally. I'd keep the BLNR, no hesitation.
