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.

Pretty much sums it up

Daytona! Prefer in white but would still take the black over the SD.

Sublovin · 15 January 2019, 09:56 PM

Like both. Sea Dweller

1William · 15 January 2019, 10:01 PM

For daily wear the SD43 for value retention the Daytona-C.

Number3 · 15 January 2019, 10:01 PM

SD without a doubt.

Harve10 · 15 January 2019, 10:03 PM

SD43 without hesitation.

WJGESQ · 15 January 2019, 10:22 PM

Sd.

abozz · 15 January 2019, 10:32 PM

SD43 for me BUT your wrist size is important, 6.75 at least.

Devildog · 15 January 2019, 10:40 PM

Interesting results so far

SD43 - 21
Daytona - 12

Surprised at that to be honest given the Daytona’s perceived popularity

Very true...the SD43 does take a little getting used to but the simpler dial amongst other things, does it for me!

shalako · 15 January 2019, 11:40 PM

Daytona would be my choice.

Zakalwe · 15 January 2019, 11:43 PM

Personally I find zero issue with comfort on the SD43. I can only imagine it’d be a problem if you like wearing your watches loosely.

SD all day every day and twice on a Sunday. Currently my favourite steel Rolex.

Dr.LJ · 15 January 2019, 11:49 PM

Daytona with no doubt!

SD would look too big on my wrist.

904VT · 15 January 2019, 11:58 PM

If my only watch, then the Daytona C

If my only Rolex, then the SD43

There are times I don't want a bulky watch with cyclops that screams Rolex to everyone. If I was owner of my own company, lived in the country perhaps, but not in my business line. For that reason, the Daytona C is just more flexible and discrete and imo better all-arounder.

In my collection which is more diverse though, I'd take a SD43 for sure

TurboTim14 · 16 January 2019, 12:15 AM

Black dial Daytona

jeffnnj · 16 January 2019, 12:17 AM

I have a non-ceramic white Daytona but I don't have a Sea-Dweller, so I go for the SD.

Watcheroo · 16 January 2019, 01:13 AM

Hard_Six · 16 January 2019, 01:15 AM

Daytona!

soran · 16 January 2019, 01:18 AM

Daytona no doubt. So comfortable to wear.

aproo · 16 January 2019, 01:27 AM

Definitely SD43

lord91 · 16 January 2019, 01:30 AM

The Daytona, no doubt.

drthornton · 16 January 2019, 01:31 AM

genkifd · 16 January 2019, 01:38 AM

Boaters · 16 January 2019, 02:04 AM

The SD43 for sure

alikara · 16 January 2019, 02:22 AM

Daytona

MartiR · 16 January 2019, 02:23 AM

The Daytona is clearly Iconic but I do LOVE the Sea Dweller, personally. Try them on, see what feels right and pull the trigger, brother.

goodolejr · 16 January 2019, 02:25 AM

Daytona

Roli4life · 16 January 2019, 02:30 AM

I am waiting on the Daytona C and love it, but I made it my priority to get the SD43 first.

The SD43 is the best of Rolex IMO, and has become the favorite in my collection.
