It depends on your wrist size and what you favor; they're both great watches. At 6.5in wrist diameter I went for the 4K. Not to mention the short run on the model.

Keep the SD50.... red text plus new movement plus better proportions. It'll pair great with the LVc.

+1. I’d get rid of the SD4K, I think the SD43 is a more special watch. You own both now though, which one do you wear more? Plus if you keep the SD43 and add the Hulk you’ll have some diversity with 40 and 43mm.

Keep the 116600, its a classic and I feel will be more more collectible as,time goes on. The SD43 is still in production

Tough call. Slightly odd proportions with no cyclops and better size vs. nearly perfect proportions with a cyclops and too large of a case. I’d sell both and go 16600. :)

I think the SD4K is a perfect modern iteration of a classic; I'd lean towards keeping it. I do, however, think the 43 gives you better size variation if you are adding a Submariner to the collection.

I can’t wear a 43 mm watch it’s just too big. Makes the decision easy for me.

You need to pick one op. You won't get any consensus on this...just preference and clear pro/cons on both watches...just which checks more pros for you.

If there can only be one winner it has to be the SD43.

Anyway using the ‘logic’ above, keep the SD4K.
