6.75 in is not a big wrist. Sd will look better

Trying it on at the AD is no help as I am too enamored to notice the size... Any opinions would be greatly appreciated...

FYI wrist is around 6.75"

Thanks

Sounds like you should keep the sub

I did a number of searches and found a lot of discussion about the technical and visual differences but not a lot of discussion about the size... The size is the real issue for me...

My opinion is that I don't like the SD-C as much as I like my SubC for the following reasons:

I don't like the raised crystal, I don't like the virtually smaller case, I don't like the matte dial, and I love the cyclops.

But do what you like.

Hairdude1 · 23 April 2015, 03:36 PM

Tough call but I would keep the Subc

SeaDweller50 · 23 April 2015, 09:01 PM

It's such a shame they decided to go with a matte dial. I would have been first in the queue had it been glossy.

travisb · 23 April 2015, 09:30 PM

If you have the 114060, I couldn't bet against it.

I assume the divers link can be removed? Also, does the SD bracelet come with 1/2 links?

Thanks for all of the input... A friend suggested I flip a coin... It just might come to that

Afghanvet · 24 April 2015, 11:45 AM

Have the subs... DSSD inbound!

samwill** · 24 April 2015, 03:22 PM

SD4000 - just got one and I love it!

augustusblack · 25 April 2015, 12:22 PM

Decision time... Fits way better than I thought and has a bit more wrist presence despite being a little smaller... I think we have a winner

mattedialdoc · 25 April 2015, 10:59 PM

For me the SD4k is a much more comfortable daily wear. The extra height keeps the crown from digging into my wrist. I hated that w my Daytona and Sub. Congrats on a wise choice!

breitlings · 26 April 2015, 02:46 AM

I don't know if I'd flip for it but I'd get an sdc. They are just cool. Matte dial beast Rolex.

roadie1 · 26 April 2015, 11:44 AM

After owning dozens or Rolex sport models, the SD 4K is the best of the bunch. Reasons noted above.

Seaswirl · 26 April 2015, 12:33 PM

Looks like you did it so congrats, but I would have kept the Sub and put the cash towards another watch. Did you lose on the flip?

simongpaez · 27 April 2015, 02:23 AM

Just did what I said I wouldn't do, traded my SubC for the SD4000, so far its only been 2 days but I am sure I did the right move, much heavier and a little more busy than the sub, that is not a bad thing I find a bit more interesting and I like it a lot.

aleeboy · 27 April 2015, 02:34 AM

Keep the Sub C. It's much nicer than the SD. If you want a SD, go for the DSSD. I personally think the SD is ugly

Subc would be great. But those lugs ruin the watch.
Biggest design mistake by rolex.... Ever

Now if subc had SD lugs, it would be most beautiful watch

Nice group, on both accounts ;)

I bought it not too long ago and its not singing. Loses wrist time to my 14060M. It feels to clunky for every day wear. Shiny ceramic bezel doest not go well with matte black dial. AT ALL. Terrible contrast under direct sunglihgt, where dial would look brown against shiny black ceramic.
Now, if Sub C had SD's lugs, i would sell my whole collection as I would not need any other watch. It would be that perfect.

agreed on Sub C with SD lugs.

Congrats. I'm thinking about same.
