Thanks for sharing, great post! Congrats on your new addition.

Congrats On your new pick up!
Great post as I’m considering a new Sub myself.

Do you have the lug to lug from the ends of the solid Center links as I believe this gives a more true lug to lug on wrist

mimariani · 16 September 2020, 03:07 PM

Wow, great comparison as I‘ve been wondering about that.
Thank you!!

mglane83 · 16 September 2020, 03:18 PM

Awesome info and pictures! Thank you for the time and effort!

faz · 16 September 2020, 03:27 PM

Fantastic post, OP, and others who added more pics.

Congrats on the new addition and what a duo to own.

LSU-MOOSE · 16 September 2020, 03:51 PM

Thank you for taking the time. Very informative

ArchMerlin · 16 September 2020, 08:36 PM

Great post. Thanks for the effort.

travisb · 16 September 2020, 09:16 PM

Thanks for the comparisons! Two greats but I still prefer the SD.
Good luck on getting the JC DSSD. That one trumps them all.

Manu74 · 16 September 2020, 09:54 PM

Thanks voor this great post and congrats on your new Submariner

Bruno Datejust · 16 September 2020, 10:26 PM

Thank you very much! You took your time and hassle to do this and gave a great service to the TRF community. Very interesting comparison.

Thanks for the comparison! Enjoy your new baby!

Thanks for sharing and congrats!

Interesting that the SD43 and Sub41 are not using the same bracelet as I would’ve expected.

SUB41 the lug-to-lug measured on the center of the endlinks is 51mm.

SD43 the lug-to-lug measured on the center of the endlinks is 53.3mm, same as the EXP2 42.

Congrats on the new Sub. You answered the question I had (how does the new sub compare to the SD43). I thought they'd be similar enough to compete with each other, but they show and wear as two distinct watches. Thank you for sharing.

moneymike83 · 17 September 2020, 01:47 AM

These watches are made for men. I love my sd43! I may need the new sub black no date.

Smobews · 17 September 2020, 06:37 AM

Fantastic info Bogdan.

The new sub and the SD43 are very close in their proportions; big brother, little brother. There is something for bigger and smaller wrists. Now people can choose what looks better on them. The thickness (sub is 80% of SD) and the weight (sub is 86% of SD) are pretty close.

Majin Buu · 17 September 2020, 07:52 PM

Very kind of you to share !

Thanks!

You've provided some invaluable information.

What are the widths of the Exp2 clasp and removable links vs the SD43 and Sub41?

Danooch · 18 September 2020, 03:48 AM

Great thread and information! Thank you.

Tag_asian · 18 September 2020, 04:48 AM

Good to know. Thanks for the work on giving us these info.

Deep18 · 18 September 2020, 05:20 AM

As far as weight my SD with the divers extension and one full link removed is 183 grams.

Stay close, I’ll cover the Exp42 in a separate post as soon as I get some spare time.

I have to say, I'm a fan of the new slimmer lugs on the 41mm Sub
