SD. But the watches wear so differently it's got to come down to comfort level assuming you like them both equally.

Hard choice, but if forced to decide the Daytona would prevail.

How good is your eyesight?

The SD43 is probably one of the most legible Rolex watches made.

Whereas the black dial Daytona is one of the least legible.

They also wear completely differently.

Other than that it’s down to personal choice.

Being pragmatic, no one needs 4000 ft water resistance and if you have a smartphone no one needs a stopwatch on ones’ wrist.

SD43.
Agree with comments above, they are very different on the wrist.

It would depend on whether I wanted a large dive watch or a chronograph.
