Looks good on your wrist, OP. Which one do you like best, Deepsea or SD43?

Here’s a picture of my Deepsea (taken last week). The Deepsea would be my pick, but I’ve come to see these two as twins - I think they compliment each other very well, especially because they’re both commemorative pieces.

The Deepsea is the best Rolex sports watch available now in my opinion. Keep in mind that I turned both of these watches down when I was first given the opportunity, I’ve grown to really appreciate them. Besides, there’s a bit of exclusivity there by virtue of the size, fewer people will have them just because they’re big.

I was over the fence as well deciding between these two. However, the cyclops on the SD43 was the nail on the coffin. To me, all Sea-Dweller’s aren’t “supposed” to carry the cyclops lens...

Aside from that, I guess the fact that the dial on the DBlue is gorgeous didn’t make it hard of a decision.

In any regard, the red lettering on the SD43 is awesome!

Come to think of it, this one is just as much of a commemorative piece as the JC & SD43. Beautiful watch, cheers!

I love the cyclops. Just flat out easier to see the date. Would have been included originally but not technologically feasible.... Best SD to date!

The SD43, DSSD D-blue and the TT SD are all awesome watches. Not every wrist can accommodate them, but more can than most people seem to think. That said, what a person prefers is art, not science. I think the big ones look great on all of your wrists.

I don't think photos really capture how great this watch is. The proportions are fantastic!
