Thanks for posting. Great pics. I love the taper on the new bracelet. Wish they would put that on the Deepsea

Interesting. The case is quite a bit slimmer than the DSSD, however it looks like the case back protrudes further, making the overall difference is thickness very small. Definitely one I have to try on to see how it fits before ordering. That wrist shot makes it look like it's "hovering" a little more than I would like. Hmmmm, great info - keep it coming!

Goldilocks size, it's perfect! Not too big, not too small, just right!

My sentiments exactly :) my PO is massive and is like lifting a dumbbell, the new SD43 is weighted perfectly

Not sure if it's been asked and answered, does it have the same style glidelock clasp as the DSSD?

Very helpful early comparisons. You may have saved me some significant coin as it looks like my 116610LN will remain the perfect Everyday/Anywhere timepiece for me.
