First post on the forum so please be nice :-)
I have the DSSD and have previously owned a Sub ND (old style). I just learned about the new SD4000 when popping in to my AD today to pick up a new strap for another watch.
When I learned that the SD4000 is 40mm I was initially disappointed, as like many others I felt that 42mm would be a better idea and would be a differentiator from the Sub.
HOWEVER, the fact that the caseback is so much fatter than a SubC will probably mean that it wears substantially bigger than the Sub C, in much the same way that the DSSD (44mm) actually, to my mind, wears quite a bit bigger than the YMII (also 44mm, but with 'thinner' caseback).
BUT, the clincher for me that means that I will - absent being wrong when I see it in the metal - be holding on to my DSSD is that the new SD 4000 doesn't have the beautiful "domed" crystal of the DSSD that I find so mesmerizing. It seems from the pictures to have the flat face of the sub.
