I’d make the trade...but...only if you thought the SD43 was just as comfortable.
The sub looks fine on you, but to me, it’s a bit more common vs the SD. I also think the SD is a better looking watch..strictly my opinion of course. I just love the size, fully graduated bezel, and the red text is a nice touch. I actually recently went from the Sd43 to the DSSD blue. Love the Sea Dweller lineup!

Sub looks great on you, but a SD43 would work also. Follow your heart

I own both SD43 and a sub C, but the longer I own the SD43, the more I have come to appreciate it over my other sports models.

It’s just a perfectly proportioned beautiful beast on the wrist.

Look at this stunner!
When on my wrist, the SD43 acts like a magnet to people’s eyes around me. Pure presence and awesomeness.

I dont think the sub looks too small on you at all. I think it looks great on any wrist up to 8". Some even over 8" looks good. That said, id say 7.75 puts you just enough in the big boys club to pull off a SD43 too.

Made the switch and couldn’t be happier! There is just so much going on with the dial that, in my opinion, really kicks it up a notch above the sub. It fits my wrist perfectly whereas the sub always seemed a little small. Just as comfortable too!

Congratulations on such a cool piece. Your picture captures that charcoal dial nicely when the sun hits it.
