Hi Lee, thank you in advance!

I'll jump in with my list

I think we would all like to see the following:

1: measure overall thickness from caseback to top of crystal
2. measure the diameter of the bezel
3. If possible measure the dial diameter.

Take extra care not to fill a brand new watch with tons of scratches !

These calipers (especially the ones with naked metal) are evel machines

Very gracious Lee, but please make sure you enjoy your day first. We're all eager to find out the exact figures, but no one will be harmed if we don't until tomorrow.

This thing still puzzles me in pics. In some it looks huge like the DSSD, and other shots such as straight on it looks surpassingly similar in size to a Submariner...

I tried it on at the boutique on Saturday. It's approximately mid way between a sub and the dssd regarding the case depth/height. It's very similar in case width to the dssd. Very nice watch, I'm pleased that I ordered one when I did.

Dial size to SubC, SD4K etc is identical. Bezel is wider, that's it. Thicker hour hand.

As per other thread, I reckon the SD43 is within 1mm difference in thickness with the SD4K.
