Because you want the same watch with less "wrist presence" and an hour marker instead of the date function, maybe?

When I bought my SD, it came down to this one or the ND as they truly are practically identical. In the end I didn't care about the date function, I just wanted the bigger watch. If the situation were reversed, I would have just as happily gotten the SD without the date. I don't know why a person would own both unless he is just really into collecting watches or dive watches or SS only watches or watches that look a lot alike or just felt like having both for no reason in particular--and there's certainly nothing wrong with that.
