I can't wear either due to their humongous size, but, if I could, it would be the SeaDweller hands down. Drop dead beautiful watch.

C - Both!
The proportions are spot on with the new SD. The matte to gloss dial is very cool with the red line to boot. New movement and bracelet are pluses.
The D-Blue is special in many ways. Best dial going. Over engineered. Ring lock system. Domed 5mm sapphire crystal. Commemorative edition.
Great things to be said for both that we've all heard before.
For a one and only I'd probably give a slight edge to the SD 126600 for it's wearability. Both amazing and can't go wrong choosing one over the other.
My 2 favorite SS models currently offered.
The D-Blue feels more special if that makes sense. Nothing else quite like it but the 126600 is more practical.

I agree, but you forgot to mention the DSSD clasp.
Anyway I voted for the D-blue
But then I'm just a little biased

Deep Blue. New SD is a Sub on steroids.

Get both and change it up.
Very different watches, I was never a fan of the D-Blue originally but I never had a watch change my love for it as much as that one. The dial changes so so so much in all weather and lighting conditions and its always "there" so you feel and see it a lot.
126600 is proportionally better imo and the red text line still makes me smile every time.

I prefer the SD43 even though I have not handled one in person. I have owned several DSSD's in black and thought they were great watches. With that said I like the new bracelet on the SD43 and to be honest, the cyclops lens on the date. I am not, at least right now, going to pay a 2.5K-3K premium for the DSSD-Blue over the black dial version.

That red print makes a huge difference. I think it will be the one to have down the road with the Cameron model coming in second. The regular Deep Sea and 40mm ceramic SD had their moment. Of course this is without taking vintage into account.
