Add SD43 or Redundant? Pics included
Thinking about adding an SD43 to this mix. Whatcha think. Too redundant? Would be paying a premium but not a crazy one. At this price a skydweller is pretty close as well. I'm more concerned with loss on resale as I cannot try any of these pieces on before I buy them, so i dont want to get waxed should i not like it and have to resell.
Advice welcome, thanks ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Not in my opinion. I have a Sub C and I'm considering getting a SD43 (if I can find one at retail).

I would rather add a Daytona C instead of the SD43.

Not redundant at all....black bezel, black dial, 43mm, and brushed bracelet. Totally different look than any you have.

Would never pay a premium with that collection.

There's no right or wrong on this one. My opinion is it's redundant, but I'm the kind of person who, already having a SubC, won't buy another Sub or GMT, because I find them too similar. Others just love the Rolex diver/sports model look, and can't get enough of it.
So, as always, ask the little man inside you, because he knows all. None of us can tell you. |

Had a black one and sold it, really wanted white. the premiums are just astronomical.
this is a good point. My dealer could do MSRP no tax but it would tax 4-6 months. I have no issue waiting

It’s closest to the hulk in appearance, but it’s still not close.
Get the 43. |

It would certainly be a great addition to the collection, that’s for sure. Definitely worth waiting and getting your name on the card imo.

Not at all if you ask me. It's a beauty, get it if you can. Very good collection btw.

If you decide to add it, I’d definitely wait the 4-6 months to get it from my AD. For me though, given your collection, the SD43 covers the same bases as a couple you already have. I’d spend my money on something else. No mistake that it’s a great watch though ![]() |

Much as the SD43 is my favourite Rolex of all time, if I were you I’d get the Sky D. It’s a fantastic watch and would round off your collection -

You have a nice collection mate of sports models.
Get something with fluted bezel. (i.e) A skydweller or a DD40 |

I have 3/4 of those, 15300 blue, blnr and hulk, just got a SD43. So...not in my opinion.

Judging from your photos, I think the SD43 might wear a little large on you.

I tend to agree with this and I have an SD43 and love it. I blue Sky Dweller would fit in nicely. BUT it would not be a mistake to get it. Being patient and waiting for a AD to get without a premium and have your name on papers would be best in the long run.

SD43 is a great option and not redundant given your collection but if you can actually choose a Sky D as an alternative, it's definitely more complementary and would be a better way to round out the lineup.

I'm the same, in isolation I prefer the SD43 but not here.

people here never say redundant but always say both.
On the other hand the SD43 is indeed not redundant in your collection |
