Soon I will more than likely have to part with either
The Bluesy Sub C or SD4K C 116600..,

Another option is sell both and get a SD 43 50TH...

What do y’all think ?

1. Bluesy stays

2. SD4K C 116600 stays

3. Sell both and get SD43 Anniversary...

I’ve added a poll to tally up the votes but please
Voice your opinions as it will be helpful towards my final decision.
I know ultimately it’s my flavor and choice but your
Expertise won’t hurt ...

Note : last pic of SD43 50th taken from internet...

In your shoes, I’d stay pat.

RonSwanson · 7 January 2018, 06:26 AM

I view sd4k as a fatter sub( unless you’re an actual saturation diver) so I would ditch that piece. Love a TT bluesy, so I’d try to hold on to it. Either way, if you can score a 43mm seadweller at current prices, it will be a good purchase. 2018 will bring a higher price or maybe even no red writing, either way, do it!

Stevec14 · 7 January 2018, 06:49 AM

Seeing your current 2, I think you have no issues with the 43mm. It’s an awesome watch. I vote that, and if you are asking us I suspect that what you want too. I tried one on again the other day and loved it.

If you can get at mrsp, then I say go for it.

Devildog · 7 January 2018, 06:53 AM

Depends on the reason why you need to ditch one of them Mario?

Tampashooter · 7 January 2018, 06:53 AM

A) There is zero chance, i'd not own an SD4k. The best diver ever. B) I was very very underwhelmed by my time owning the SD43. YMMV. I moved mine, and I NEVER sell watches. I am a Rolex black hole.

yhzdude · 7 January 2018, 06:57 AM

sell the sd4K and get the sd43

Devildog · 7 January 2018, 07:00 AM

But! Pending you answer, the LB is easily replaceable. The 116600 less so (for sensible cost) so I’d sell the LB. keep the SD4K and make the choice if you can get the SD43 at MRSP.

From a daily perspective, my SD43 is an easy daily. Your wrist is bigger than mine so it’s a guaranteed win for you in that respect. Same thickness as your SD4K but better balanced

Pmt2 · 7 January 2018, 07:01 AM

Keep that SD4000! It’s a special watch. I made that trade and regretted it! The Sd43 looks great in pictures and is great for collecting purposes, but it was way too heavy on the wrist. You have a nice pair with the bluesy and the SD4000. Save your $$ and enjoy those classics

Helmi · 7 January 2018, 07:20 AM

Blusey stays....

I like the SD43 over both of your current. I would flip but that’s not up to me. Good luck!

Sd43 as one and only

Onequik135i · 7 January 2018, 07:48 AM

Sd43

toneafficianado · 7 January 2018, 07:56 AM

I think that from all your previous posts about the Bluesy you would miss it if flipped.
SD 4k and 43 are more similar to each other than the gorgeous Bluesy so I recommend keeping it somehow.

AK797 · 7 January 2018, 08:25 AM

As you love the Bluesy keep it as you will only buy it back later, sell the SD if you have to sell.

Just curious why u were so underwhelmed. Thx.

OP, love my SD43 and now it’s my daily.

watchwatcher · 7 January 2018, 09:34 AM

I voted for the bluesy for you, Mario. Because I think you love it, it looks great on you, and I just think it fits your personality...as much one can know someone's personality on an internet watch forum.

NeoAnderson · 7 January 2018, 09:38 AM

Get an all gold sub and keep the sd4k. No need for a one foot in, one foot out gold piece.

Otaru1987 · 7 January 2018, 09:40 AM

SD43 is not too heavy- I forget that I even have it on.

brandrea · 7 January 2018, 09:43 AM

I much prefer the SD43 to the sd4000. If at all possible I’d flip the sd4000 and add funds to acquire the SD43

With your wrist size the 43 would be a wise choice. I'd keep the 4K too!!!

RXAPPP · 7 January 2018, 10:14 AM

No - it’s to big

peterpl · 7 January 2018, 10:16 AM

I wouldnt sell BOTH for the SD43 no way in the world.

The SD43 is nice but so is the SD4k. If you have to flip the SD4K for the SD43. Keep the Bluesy no way that would go.

Lol-x · 7 January 2018, 10:17 AM

I'm wearing the SD43 now as I type.

So you know what I think....
Only you can decide what you want to wear, but I can highly recommend the SD43. Get the divers link removed and then you can just enjoy the brilliance of this watch forever.

Barrier25 · 7 January 2018, 10:28 AM

Keep both and add a DSSD. I haven’t seen an SD43 in person but to me it looks to similar to a sub c.

DoctorA · 7 January 2018, 10:46 AM

SD43 or subC

dr.fiddy · 7 January 2018, 10:55 AM

I'd keep Bluesy and get SD43. Have both, and love both :-)

Watchmutt · 7 January 2018, 12:39 PM

Keep the SD4K. It will just get harder to find in the future for a reasonable price.

swils8610 · 7 January 2018, 12:43 PM

Keep the SD4k and Bluesy. The SD4k is a future classic. I may be biased however....
