You can make it fit under your wrist cuff just fine.



Or just let that bad boy out to breathe.

SD4K for sure. I own them both and the SD4K is almost sacred now that it has been replaced with the new SD43.
I actually hardly ever wear it anymore because its now an investment piece for me and I want to keep it perfect.
I also own the SD43, so i do have choices, but the 116600 is perfect in every way, go for it!!!

Maye be so with the 126600 but not the 116600. Mine has no issues what so ever. Are you from somewhere with legal weed?
The 116600 and 126600 are the same thickness Lee. Neither should pose a problem

Sea Dweller for me. Never seen another in the wild which is one of my main criteria when buying a watch. Whereas three people I work with have LV subs (which i accept of course is a sign that they are more popular than the SD).

The diameter difference makes a big difference. It's not all about thickness; the footprint counts too. I wear my 116600 with dress shirts all the time and never have had any problem.

Having just pulled the trigger on a SD4K, I am biased, but I still think I'd take the SD4K over a Hulk.

I'm currently on the wait list for a Hulk at my AD but when the opportunity arose to pick up the 116600 I jumped because they're no longer made, so the chance of getting one at a good price anymore isn't likely. Whereas the Hulk is still produced so, in theory, easier to obtain.

Of course, now that I've said that the Hulk will get discontinued soon...

The Sea-Dweller with the smaller lugs, matte dial, and no cyclops is one of the best looking modern Rolex watches.

Apologies Lee, I've never experienced any issues with the larger diameter. I hadn't released you have experienced problems with dress shirts and the SD43
