BLNR for SD43?
Thinking of selling BLNR and getting SD43. Any thoughts? Both is not an option.

IMHO, if you are looking for something that you can dress up and down i'd stick with the BLNR. ive never tried on the SD43 but being a bigger case may not be as comfortable and clean under a cuff... both are a great choice, guess it comes down to your preference when you try it on

My SD43 doesn't play nice under dress shirt cuffs if that helps you decide

Thanks. Fortunately, I don’t need to do dress shirts very often anymore. When I do, my Omega 300 Coaxial is my choice.

BLNR > SD43 all day. It’s an add, not a trade.

If you have a bigger wrist SD43 for sure

The proportions are perfect as think 40mm touch small

Good luck in your search

You didn’t really provide enough information to give an opinion on what you should do. I like the SD43 more than the BLNR if that helps.

I guess it all depends on how you feel about the BLNR. I'm not really a fan, so I would. But you...?

I’ve had the BLNR for two years, worn maybe half the time. I’m thinking it looks a little small, maybe getting a little tired of it. Tried on SD43 at AD and thought it looked great. More wrist presence.

If you're a big guy, the SD wears better. I found when I had the BLNR it was too small.

If your Omega is your bench mark for dress shirts you wouldn't have a problem with the SD 43
