The crystal on the SD43 is definitely larger then the one on the SDC. Before I sold my SDC, I compared the two closely, and the SD43 is bigger by at least 1.5mm or so, maybe 2.
The other issue you'd have if you remove the cyclops yourself, you'll find that Rolex uses anti glare coating under the cyclops (placed on the crystal itself), therefore, you'll be rid of the cyclops, but have a cyclops outline where it used to be. Do a google search, you'll see what I mean.
Good luck!
