Tough call as I’ve never had the SD43 .
I had a BLNR and the limited SD4K Ceramic.
I’d probably go BLNR because it’s sharp, comfortable,
versatile and a perfect all rounder daily .

The BLNR would be my choice. More versatile, and truly an iconic watch considering the 116710 was the first two color ceramic bezel. Watch will only become more of a classic as time passes.

Keep the SD43.
It’s the best SS Rolex IMHO.

♛- Yet to be determined, but a white 16520 is on the short list. (I believe that I'll be able to read it better than my old 116520)
