Hi guys.
I thought i was absolutely sure, that the new SD43 was the watch i wanted, if im just supposed to have one.
Then today i had the chance to compare it straight on, with its contender.
And i must say, the Sub is so close to look the same size on my wrist, and is just such a beauty

SSGMT · 22 August 2018, 06:07 AM

They both look great on you, I don't think you can go wrong whichever you choose!

tbonesteak · 22 August 2018, 06:10 AM

If it was a daily, I'd say SD, if it was in a rotation, I'd say SD.

Can't go wrong - if you're second guessing though after seeing them both, the LB is prob the one you want.

lenfried29 · 22 August 2018, 06:13 AM

INHO it's sd43 for sure if it's only one. looks much better on your wrist.

T01 · 22 August 2018, 06:15 AM

Both are great, go for whichever speaks to you more.

drm20 · 22 August 2018, 06:18 AM

That bluesy is awesome!

superdog · 22 August 2018, 06:27 AM

I like the TT with the tats.

Looks awesome.

Toe_Fuz · 22 August 2018, 06:31 AM

What was your verdict?

ThomasAndy · 22 August 2018, 06:41 AM

My verdict is, that im am absolutely amazed how similar they look in size.
The SD43 feels just as small as the sub, or its the sub that feels ass big.

I think the blue sub is awesome to look at, and maybe stands out a bit. There are so many black sub date on peoples wrist, and from 3 feet away you maybe wont tell the difference.

Devildog · 22 August 2018, 06:43 AM

The sub is just flirting with you. There is no mileage in that relationship.

It may appear exciting in small doses, but it’s not for ever.

witalit · 22 August 2018, 06:44 AM

Beautiful watches!

peterpl · 22 August 2018, 06:53 AM

Bluesy looks the best

huncho · 22 August 2018, 06:53 AM

bluesy looks great with the tats

oldman2005 · 22 August 2018, 07:06 AM

I think it depends on what you image of yourself that you're looking for to go with the tats:

- Music rapper image with gold chains, rings, teeth, I'd go for the TT sub
- Tough guy tactical image: Black sub/ big black SD43

drcab · 22 August 2018, 07:33 AM

First world problems :)

jay_kay · 22 August 2018, 07:47 AM

Go with the 126600. I flirted with a 116613 LB for a short while but the lustre quickly wore off.

tseiff · 22 August 2018, 07:49 AM

Arm is too busy - no watch and send me the extras :-)

SD —- SD —- SD
(Prefer sub no date SS)

Sydny2 · 22 August 2018, 07:50 AM

I like Sub on you. Goes well with tattoos!

Vivalas · 22 August 2018, 07:55 AM

I,think the bluesy goes better with your tattoos myself. I’d go that one,

droptopman · 22 August 2018, 08:19 AM

Tough call. Like them both...a lot. Both look good on you. What other watches do you wear, that may help you make the decision.

Racerdj · 22 August 2018, 08:19 AM

I'm probably in the minority, but the TT is my choice!

Well i dont really image my self as none of the above... And im not really sure where you have to do that, just because you have tattoos?
Im a quite regular guy, wife, job and just like tattoos....

And since they are there and its way to much work to remove them, im more interested in knowing if one sits better on my wrist than the other....
I do believe the thread started with something like, surprised that they are so similar in size.

VicLeChic · 22 August 2018, 08:38 AM

The Bluesy will feel at ease in a tropical setting wearing shorts and sipping a cocktail. Bluesy screams "I'm a cool dude, look at me".

The Sea-Dweller can be worn anywhere and is badass without overdoing it. It whispers "I mean business, buddy".

Rolex.c6 · 22 August 2018, 09:14 AM

Think the Sub looks better on these pictures.

ferrissteve11 · 22 August 2018, 09:21 AM

From one heavily inked guy to another I'd go with the SD. Not that both don't look good, but given the 2 options presented the SD just looks like the better 'fit' IMO.

Green Arrow · 22 August 2018, 09:25 AM

It is one of the most beautiful watches Rolex makes with the sunburst blue dial. Having said that, the SD looks more at home on your wrist IMHO, and if you choose wrong, it will be easier to flip the SD43 without losing money over retail, than the Bluesy, plus you can buy pristine lightly used LBs at a discount from trusted sellers on this forum. Someone bought mine :-)

Locust · 22 August 2018, 09:38 AM

Sd43 looks better on you.

ThomasAndy · 22 August 2018, 09:42 AM

Thanks guys... Thought about the flipping part my self, and im sure its better to flip if you have the SD.

How does the SD fit under a shirt cuff??
