I can't speak to the SD43, but I am a DBlue owner and have found it to be a very comfortable wearer.

I own an SD43, since Monday and I owned a DSSD for 3 years. The lower head weight of the SD43, coupled with the wider bracelet makes it very well balanced. I persevered with the DSSD for a long time before I gave up due to balance and releative dimensions between case and bracelet, ie big head, skinny strap.

The Necky bleeder wants £15,995 for it

the seller has removed his SD43 from eBay after having a change of heart

That's the magic of Rolex, since inception there is no significant change on their design ethos, a small changes like this (e.g., red verbiage paint on dial, word "COMEX" on old subs etc...) will stir craziness to Rolex fanatics. Even willing to shell out huge amount of money.

SD43 is a better piece...

I wasn't comparing the 2, more a quip about the madness of the secondary market pricing. It may well be a better piece, but 14.5k? Still, it's only worth what someone will pay I guess....

Edit - I do agree though that it looks well proportioned with the bracelet etc.

116600 (SD4000) is a better buy, only manufacture for 2yrs plus price is way lower than 126600.

Daytona Ceramic, anyone?
