If you were choosing between the two to buy I'd say SD primarily as it has the latest and greatest Rolex movement. But as you own the BLNR already not sure I'd flip it, at least until the SD great market prices come down.

If you don't mind the price difference as a beater I'd choose the SD ,new movement,robust , no PCL's etc., but both are very nice watches.

Guys,the question was 'which watch as a daily beater?'
Bearing that very much in mind surely the comfort factor is paramount!40mm better than 43mm all day long for normal wrists. BLNR no contest! |

SD43 hype won't last. Too big for a Sea-Dweller. Get the old one or keep the GMT.

I personally prefer the BLNR. I tried the SD43 on and it just didn't win me over despite how good it looks in the pics - the proportions felt off. Maybe because I am so used to Subs!

SD43. I find it very comfortable, looks great..and no PCLs to scratch. To state the obvious, though, both are great watches

BLNR for me. My wrists aren't big enough for the SD43
