I was thinking the same thing but his review states otherwise

Its so subjective and in pictures you'll never get a true comparison. The only way you really will know is by trying them on.

IMO SD43 really does meet that "in between" size that I think Rolex was aiming for.

Yep it's really subjective (since we all have different wrist sizes and shapes), I tend to agree with Tampashooter's review after trying on the SD43 myself also. Great watch, but there's no mistakening for me the way it wears both visually and feeling on the wrist is very close to a deep sea.

I use a Nikon D20. But all of these were taken with the freaking iPhone 7. 2x portrait setting. With the right light, it's amazing what you can do on a smart phone now. It's 12 megapixels!

I really do like it. But.....and again, this is subjective. If I blindfolded you, and told you it was the sub, you'd say no. If I told you it was the deep sea, you'd have to think about it a while.
