New SDc
Guys, no photos but I have tried this watch on today at my AD and it is absolutely awesome.
It wears smaller than my SubC but the size and dimensions are perfect, it feels and looks like an updated ceramic Sub should have been. It is all the watch I will ever need and I intend to purchase. If you can get one or even see one just do it. The smaller lugs give the SDc a feeling of and updated non ceramic Sub/SD and the lines look classic Rolex Diver. My view is Rolex will change the Sub at some stage to reflect this slim lug look. The SDc is a total winner and perfect, the best watch Rolex has ever made for me. |

Great review, I also really liked it when tried and share similar thoughts.
Are you going to keep your SubC? |

Well I like the SDc because it wears smaller. You like the SubC because it wears larger. You really need to try this new SDc on, without doing that your comments on thickness and size are useless. It seems weird that a smaller thicker watch is better but it is, a huge amount better. Rolex will change the Sub, they have to at some stage in the future now. |

As for new SD...to the OP and all who like it...Glad they make plenty of watches that appeal to our own likes! That is a very good thing as we all can't like and want the same watches or life would be boring!

Frankly though, I'm a bit surprised they didn't bridge the gap size-wise with the SD4000 by making it 42mm.
