Awesome pics thanks for sharing!

I still can't figure out the size of that SD43...sometimes it looks as big as the DSSD, but in some of these, like straight on the SD43 looks like it's very close in size to the Sub.

Congrats on the incoming!

Awesome photos and those help a lot. The SD43 seems to be at a decent middle ground compared to the DSSD. It definitely is more PO 43.5 size. It is quite a change but I think it looks pretty solid. I would go for the LV out of all of those however for my wrist size.

Andrew once again congratulations, it looks fantastic.

Hiow would you sayd the SD43 compares in overlall height to the DSSD and the LV (ala wearabilty under a shirt cuff)

Its difficult to tell the overall height compared to the DSSD.
