SUB41 vs SD43: pic loaded, side by side comparison and caliper measurements.

[LDN]

Sd looking good!

[UW_ike]

Nice watches, and thanks for the excellent and exact measurements.

[Sub Capt.]

Thanks for the work! Do you have a 116610/114060 for comparison with the same measurement techniques? Also measurement across the lugs on the outside between the 11 and 12 Sub would be interesting. Thanks again!

Can we pin this thread?

Thank you for this rigorous test!

[EndlessEight]

The outgoing sub's bracelet and clasp were better.

[iTreelex]

Thanks for the pics OP. These are a great comparison

[jrbar-on]

Great post and thanks for the measurements!

Congratulations on the new piece as well.

Cheers, Jonathan

They did a mini SD here, but completely out of proportions, it's like a 43mm SD clasp and bracelet in a 41 Sub, LOL.

[FHFinster]

Great contribution. Thank you.

Now this was helpful...someone do the same with a 116610 and a lot of questions will be answered.

[oldblock]

Wow amazing detail and so helpful as so many post with thoughts not facts on sizing and sizing relativity to other models
Truly appreciated

[abozz]

Thanks for share this pictures!!! The new trilogy 126600, 126660 and 126610 is for me the better ever made by Rolex. Congrats

I know that it's so it fits under wetsuit cuffs, but it still surprises me that my Air-King has a thicker case than the Sub.

This was a great read. Excellent pics and info. I currently have a 42mm polar exp, sd43, the DSSD JC 2nd gen...patiently waiting for my AD to call me with the new SUB41 LV

Glad I have some real info to go off of...hopefully you get the JC soon as well

Threads like this are so useful. Thank you for sharing the details!

Great post!

[Avs Fan]

Great post. Very useful information.

[eonflux]

Thank you!
That's awesome.

I wonder what the Explorer 2 clasp and removable link widths are.
And end link as well.

When you get your DSSD, would like to see bezel measurements.
And clasp width and removable link width as well.

Congrats on the new Sub!!!

I have the SD43 & the Hulk. Love both, but even with the slimmed lugs of the new Sub. I still have to say the SD43 is a sexier watch, and it’s just an all around bad ass watch IMO.

AND why in the hell is the is the clasp so proportionately oversized on the Sub❗️ I definitely prefer the old one.

Great, Informative post, thank you

[mdtddd2007]

Congrats!!! and nice comparison.

[Cru Jones]

Congrats and looking forward to your diver trilogy. Thanks for the thread.

[HiDive]

Thanks for the post, great information. The new Sub looks great, there is not a thing wrong with it. It is greatly improved over the previous model.

[Number3]

Great post OP, many thanks for doing this. Now you have both - if you could only keep one, which would it be?

[alphadweller]

I wonder if the diameter of the dials is the same?

[WEST HAM ROLEX]

Lots of effort and images etc - a good post,

Prefer the SD43 but obviously both are fantastic watches

Also, thanks for the comparison pics! Lots have been waiting for this!

My measurements only come up with a 5.4mm bezel on the SUB41. I don’t see how that could be 10mm.

Here are some pics. Maybe there’s a different measurement angle?

Unfortunatelly there’s no 11 series in my collection, maybe will add it in the future.

Great collection. I also am a proud owner of the Polar EXPLORER 42. Great watch bought at a very special moment so it will stay forever.
