I personally am more of a fan of the 5513.
The 5513 is alright, but it’s no 6204.

I went with the SD. The all black gives me a "cornerstone" for my divers, and the less bulky size and balanced bracelet make for a better fit/feel, IMO.

And as you say, harks back to the first sea dwellers (and it is an anniversary model after all)

I love how the dial changes with the light
I love that too. Great photo.

As a formal marshal artist, weight lifter, and current frequent mile swimmer, there is no amount of working out at the gym that will make my wrist grow. Those watches are fine over a wet suit but for normal wear, not for me. I much prefer the more traditional SD which I happen to be wearing.

That's a mighty fine looking SD4K! I was just busting your chops about the gym

Perhaps martial art may be more effective for ur wrist growth....








Hahaha just busting ur chops too.


Op I prefer the new sd43 over the DSSD JC, mostly because of the overall size fits me better. And I do like the red one line.

I m also ok with the ”Rolex” rehaut.
Hardly ever notice it...but when I do, it looks kinda cool

No problem and not offended at all; I just know what to expect from working out. Like I said I like my SD4K; at the moment it is the last of the traditional SDs.

Oops, see what happens from too much multi-tasking? Of course Martial is the correct term; or is it marital? In my case it was pretty much restricted to Tae Kwon Do, Hap Ki Do, Aikido, and Juijitsu.

Never did like the JC. Not a fan of the half-blue dial, nor that green text. In fact, had a choice between the two, and chose the black one :



Now as to why I chose the DSSD???

Because what I REALLY wanted was the SD43. But it was so damn expensive at the time. Now the prices have softened a lot, but still not to levels I'm comfortable paying.
Someday though...

In the meantime, I ignore the massive thickness, and view my DSSD from up top, and imagine it's a SD43.

Did Ha Ki Do & judo but boxing is required to vanquish those girly wrists!
I kid.

/Users/Owner/Desktop/IMG_8726.JPG

after 5 years of my Deep Sea I flipped it for the 126600 Red Sea dweller. The main reason I can no longer able to see clearly the date. don't get me wrong ,I Loved my DS but after the 5 years and eye sight not that great I let it go and now all my roles have the cyclops. I am not connected to my iPhone and sometimes i need that quick look for the date ..
