Hi Dave!
Both the SD and the Sub Date are nice classics, but what to buy is a matter of personal preference.
I for my part would probably go for the Sub Date since it is a better fit on an every day basis.
But then again I like the chunky looks of the SD. I do have a 7½ " wrist (that is the "recommended wrist size if you consider buying an SD), but still, I like the Sub Date better.
If you do a search for SD + Sub Date, you will be able to find / read a LOT of threads / post about what to buy.
But if it is possible, the BEST thing is to go to an AD and try them both on (one at a time, that is
).
The one that REALLY smiles back at ya, is the one you should buy!
Anyway:
