I’m starting to think so. The tapered lugs are so much better. The full minute markers ad to symmetry. That single line of red text.

I’m really loving this one.

zjd168 · 8 June 2019, 09:54 AM

it is called SD43 here.

Oldfellow · 8 June 2019, 09:56 AM

Close to perfect. I tried one on yesterday, but as much as I would have loved to walk out with it, it is really too big for me.
Sub C is fine but SD was larger and heavier than I imagined.

RL777 · 8 June 2019, 10:04 AM

It's a little big for my wrist, but I believe it'll go down as a classic as long as Rolex doesn't go crazy putting red text on everything when they refresh the Sub and SD lines going forward.

GB-man · 8 June 2019, 10:15 AM

No but it is a damn good choice.

pepsiretail · 8 June 2019, 10:17 AM

No.

Nope wears worse than the dssd imo.

Cesium137 · 8 June 2019, 10:21 AM

Could you imagine that watch as a no date? Holy smokes! Now that might be perfect.

Since you asked - no. Unnecessarily too large.

crazycarlitos · 8 June 2019, 12:06 PM

Yes, it is.

peterpl · 8 June 2019, 12:15 PM

Not perfect but its a nice watch.

A little big for daily wearing imho.

huncho · 8 June 2019, 12:20 PM

can't be perfect at that size...

Or simply omit the cyclops = closer to perfection.

drthornton · 8 June 2019, 12:29 PM

It's going to be about perspective. I've got an almost 8" wrist. When I was looking for a new Rolex I thought the Sub Date was gonna be it for me. AD had both and was able to try them on. I got the SD43.

I know guys say its just an overgrown Sub Date...mostly in a derogatory sense. For me, that's why I love mine so much.

inadeje · 8 June 2019, 01:01 PM

I am looking at getting one too. It appeals to me.

Great watch, but a bit too large and too pricey compared to a Submariner or Sub Date for me. But certainly a fantastic watch.

But seriously, it is an exceptionally nice watch, I just don't see humankind producing anything that reaches perfection.

Gladiat0r · 8 June 2019, 01:09 PM

No
But for my 8.5” wrist, yes, it is perfect. I had a sub c date for a year and traded it for the SD43 as my daily. In love with it.

direwolf · 8 June 2019, 01:13 PM

It is close. In my personal opinion, if the bezel was oh so slightly smaller, the case back was flusher like the deep sea, and it came in at 42mm, the SD would be perfection.

I have to agree. I have the 126660 DSSD-Blue for the stainless look and will offload my TT Sub C for the TT SeaDweller when it's available. The Sub looks way too small. I have an 8 3/8 inch wrist and these are sized so much better.
