After a few weeks with the SD43......

I've gone back to my ND Sub and it now feels light as a feather, small and slim..!! Does anybody else feel the same..?
I like that they both feel and look very different and I especially like the larger size on the SD43 which compliments my collection perfectly while being very wearable

Feel the same way when I switch to the Daytona. So small and light in comparison.

I often switch between my SD43 / DSSD and GMTII.
If you want your SD43 to feel light, start wearing an DSSD

Yes, I felt the same after wearing the SD43 for a few weeks. I haven’t made the jump to the DSSD yet, so I can’t imagine going from that to 5 digit exp2 or sub, or a Daytona. I do like the variety though.

When I had my Deepsea, I wore it as an everyday wearer for 5 years straight. Agreed, the SD43 fits better.

I flip from a 5 digit Sub and my DSSD all the time, for me that's the fun to appreciate the difference weight wise. I love that part of switching back and forth.

Love my SD43 ... so much more substantial over 16600 Sea Dweller and Hulk. Big wrist presence and love the red line.

Agreed I switch back and forth from my 5 digit to SD43 and appreciate the difference. I feel like the 14060m is my go to under a shirt cuff, the SD43 for more casual wear, and for a suit I prefer something slim with a leather band.

Yep can't argue with this. The weight on the SD43 is very nice but not too OTT either.

Yes, the SD43 is big and heavy, but I like that in a watch. There is a noticeable difference switching to almost any of my other watches...

Yup. Once you have the 43 you miss that superior bracelet when you go back to the sub. Sub feels dainty and the bracelet taper is too extreme
