The SD43 will look absolutely fine, judging from the photo

I was concerned about the size as well but think the SD43 works for me.

See how the BLNR and SD43 compare as I was able to try them both on:
They are gorgeous and look almost same size on your wrist.

That's what she said.

I think your flat wrist is well suited for larger watches. Plus, you are not a small dude.

No probs going for the SD43

I used to wear a PAM 177, so the SD43 shouldn’t be an issue. I’m 6’0” 185lb, but I think my wrist must be flat for 7”. Hopefully my AD can find me one. I was going to get a Hulk, but I think it’s too similar to the BLNR... with the same case and essentially same bracelet. I’ll have the following:

Chrono: 116500 (white), Speedy MOTM Hesalite
GMT: 116710BLNR
Diver: hopefully buy a SD43
Dress: I wear my BLNR or Daytona for this right now, but eventually want a Lange

Size won't be an issue. Great choice for a diver!

I thought the SD43 would be too big for me but after trying my brother’s SD43 on, there isn’t a big change in size since the proportionality is relatively equal. It fit well on my 6.75 wrist.

Not at all, that GMT looks small on you, the SD43 will be perfect for you.

You will not have an issue. SD43 is a great wearing watch.

You should be fine...and if not, you won't have any trouble getting rid of it. A win-win, my friend.

Now I just have to wait for my AD to get me one. I’m selling the idea to my fiancé as a wedding watch for our beach wedding in Naples, FL next March :)

You're joking, right? The SD43 will be too small for you, get a DeepSea, lol.

LOL, the SD43 will be perfect for you. Go get it!
